Swedish Gasoline Prices Rise Despite Lower Oil Prices, While Diesel Holds Steady

Despite significantly lower world market prices for crude oil and a weaker dollar - the currency used to trade energy commodities - Swedish gas stations are raising gasoline prices. The price of 95-octane gasoline for business customers is rising by 10 öre to 15.99 kronor per liter.

Fuel prices for private motorists who drive petrol cars usually follow corporate prices.

The diesel price for corporate customers is also unchanged after a 60-öre reduction to 21.84 kronor per litre at the end of last week.

In three weeks, prices for fossil fuels in Sweden will rise when the temporary 2-krona-and-40-öre reduction in the carbon dioxide tax, introduced in July, expires.
