MANILA – Gas prices will again increase by about P4 per liter in the latest oil price hike forecast for next week.
Diesel prices could increase by P3.80 to P4 per liter.
Gasoline prices could post an estimated P4.30 to P4.50 hike, and kerosene could go up by about P4.70 to P4.90 per liter.
According to industry insiders, the failure to keep up with the supply because of the oil embargo in Russia is a factor.
Most oil price increases have been attributed to the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, with both sides still at a deadlock in peace talks. – Report from Alvin Elchico, ABS-CBN News
