Gasoline prices rise in Russia

Prices for Ai-80 gasoline rose by 1% to 29,310 rubles per ton on January 20-24, for Ai-92 by 2.5% to 31,472 rubles, for Ai-95 by 1.6% to 33,452 rubles, Vedomosti reports.

The new prices are a result of macroeconomic changes, experts say. Dropping prices of rubles for dollars and rise of custom fees to $360.9 per ton of fuel make exports more advantageous. The net-back for Ai-80 makes 2,300 per ton more than gross sales at the home market. Rise of excise fees had its impact as well.
