Gas prices at gas stations nationwide have fallen for 20 consecutive weeks... 1,857.6 won per liter of gasoline, down 0.4 won

Gas prices at gas stations nationwide fell slightly compared to the previous week, continuing a downward trend for 20 consecutive weeks.

According to Korea National Oil Corporation's oil price information system Offinet on the 3rd, the average selling price of gasoline at gas stations nationwide in the fifth week of September (September 27 to October 1) was 1,857.6 won per liter, down 0.4 won from the previous week.

Seoul, with the highest price, was 1,904.0 won, down 0.2 won from the previous week, and Daegu, with the lowest price, was 1,829.8 won, down 0.3 won from the previous week.

The price by brand was the highest at GS Caltex gas stations at 1,861.0 won, and the lowest at thrifty gas stations at 1,845.7 won.

The average selling price of diesel was 1,843.3 won, down 0.1 won compared to the previous week.

This week, concerns about crude oil supply disruptions were alleviated due to the recovery of Middle Eastern crude oil exports and the restart of Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline, but the tight supply of petroleum products limited the decline.

Dubai oil, the standard for the price of imported crude oil, was $107.6 per barrel, down $5.5 from last week.

The international gasoline price increased by $3.3 to $143.3, and the international automobile diesel price decreased by $1.8 to $174.9.

Changes in international oil prices are usually reflected in domestic gas station prices with a difference of 2 to 3 weeks.

The government maintains the highest oil price to minimize the impact of international oil price fluctuations on domestic prices. On the 18th of last month, the 10th highest oil price was set to be the same as the 9th highest price. Gasoline is 1,784 won per liter, diesel is 1,773 won, and kerosene is 1,380 won.
