AMMAN: The Committee Chairman Jamal Gammoh said the government increased prices of one litre of unleaded 90-octane gasoline in April to JD0.61, up from JD0.585 last month, while one litre of 95-octane now costs JD0.775 compared with JD0.74 in March. “The government increased prices of gasoline by 4 per cent while globally gas prices rose by about 7 per cent,” Gammoh said over the phone.
“Last month, demand on gasoline rose sharply globally which led to this increase. Our increase was lower than the global average,” the MP said. Gammoh added that the price of diesel and kerosene globally dropped by less than 1 per cent, which made it more convenient to maintain their prices unchanged. One liter of diesel or kerosene costs JD0.455.
