Skopje, 12 September 2011 (MIA) - Gasoline and diesel retail prices rise by 3 and 2 denars per liter respectively as of Monday midnight, the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has decided.

The new price of EUROSUPER-BS 95 is Denar 80 per liter, EUROSUPER BS-98 is Denar 81.50.

The new price of EURODIESEL (D-E V) is Denar 68, while extra light household fuel (EL-1) is sold at Denar 57.

The price of crude oil (M-1 HC) rises by Denar 1.848 and now stands at Denar 41.247 per kilogram.

The ERC says the new prices come as a result of the higher average price of crude oil at world markets and the US Dollar exchange rate in the past fortnight.
