Prices are lowest in Dar es Salaam and its environs, where a litre of petrol will for the next month be selling for Sh1,955, down from Sh2,029, according to Ewura Director General Felix Ngalamgosi. This translates into a price reduction of Sh74.
The price of a litre of diesel is down by Sh63 and the fuel now sells for Sh1,846 instead of Sh1,909
Kerosene, which previously retailed for Sh1,888 a litre, is now down to Sh1,833, with consumers saving Sh55 on every litre they buy.
Fuel prices are still highest in Uvinza District, Kigoma Region, where a litre of petrol now retails for Sh2,198, down from Sh2,272. Diesel is down from Sh2,152 to Sh2,089, while kerosene now retails at Sh2,076 from Sh2,131.
The price of a litre of petrol has fallen by Sh312 in Dar es Salaam between last September and this month, a reflection of the plummeting oil prices in the world market, Mr Ngalamgosi told a news conference yesterday.
