Gasoline has fallen in prices in Kharkiv. According to the State Inspection for price control data, in average the most popular fuel mark A-95 costs 5 kopecks cheaper than two weeks ago. Kharkiv gas stations owners have got two versions to answer the question ‘why the fuel has gone down in prices’. The versions are economical and political.
4 hryvnyas 60 kopecks, 4 hryvnyas 65 kopecks and even 4 hryvnyas 55 kopecks. These are the prices at which gasoline A-95 is sold today at Kharkiv gas stations. However only a week ago practically all gas-filling stations were unanimous: owners set the price 4 hryvnyas 70 kopecks per litre of A-95.
Gasoline falls in prices, as trade prices go down. Owners of the stations consent to this fact. But they have different reason for the trade prices fall. Some of them relate it to the world oil prices. For the latest three weeks prices have been going down, and today they fell from the record $ 77 per barrel to $ 66.
Other station owners suppose that trade prices decrease not because of economics, but politics. Having become Prime Minister, Victor Yanukovych promised not to let growing in prices and now to a version of station owners the government works with petroleum refiners and traders.
