Likewise, the price of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) will be increased by five pesos, with optimal diesel, regular and natural gas maintaining its price from last week.
In that sense, premium gasoline will be sold at RD $ 265.80 per gallon; regular gasoline will be sold at RD $ 246.80; the optimal diesel at RD $ 212.20 per gallon; regular diesel will sell for RD $ 188.90 per gallon.

The Government justified the increase by assuring that there is an international oil price crisis.
“Even though the Dominican government has again arranged to assume a large part of the increases, which translates into 586 million pesos, it will have to undergo a process of gradual increases until the situation improves internationally. We are in the presence of an unfavorable scenario for non-oil-producing countries such as our country ”, explained the Vice Minister of Internal Trade, Ramón Pérez Fermín.
