Oil-price rollback due Aug. 7


By Lenie Lectura -

OIL firms announced on Monday a price reduction in petroleum products following last week’s oil-price hike.
Phoenix Petroleum, Total Philippines and PTT Philippines said in separate advisories that gasoline and diesel prices will go down by P0.10 per liter, respectively.
They will implement the price rollback at 6 a.m. of Tuesday (August 7). Seaoil Philippines will also implement the same price adjustment. It said Seaoil stations will sell kerosene by P0.25 per liter cheaper. The oil firm’s downward price adjustment takes effect at 12:01 a.m. of August 7.
Other oil firms are expected to follow suit.
Last week oil companies increased the price of gasoline by P1.15 per liter, diesel by P0.95 per liter and kerosene by P0.85 per liter.
Local pump prices are mainly influenced by the crude prices in the world market, the peso-dollar exchange rate and taxes.
