SANTO DOMINGO.- Fuel prices will plummet as steep as RD$10.87 per gallon starting Saturday, Industry and Commerce minister Manuel Garcia announced Wednesday, two days before prices are official posted by the Government.
The official, who spoke to the press after meeting with president Leonel Fernandez, said a gallon of premium gasoline will fall RD$9.76; regular RD$10.39; premium diesel RD$10.77; regular diesel RD$9.38 and propane gas RD$3.89.
The reductions will take premium gasoline to RD$227.34 per gallon; regular to RD$210.31; premium diesel RD$192.73; regular diesel RD$187.72 and propane gas RD$104.17.
The announcement comes after days of mounting pressure by wide sectors of the country that demand government compliance with the Hydrocarbons Law, and lower the fuel prices.
But Fernandez defended the handling of the Hydrocarbon Law and said fuels haven’t increased enough in proportion to international oil prices, noting that it led the Government to accumulate a debt of more than RD$2.0 billion.

Wasn't Leonel preaching to the world that lowering fuel prices will help reduce costs on essential goods such as food? Yet here he is defending hikes in his own backyard?
WTF!!?

Transporte de la Unión acusó al gobierno dominicano el fraude
Domingo, 07 Agosto de 2011 07:07
Santo Domingo .- El sábado fue uno de los nuevos precios de los combustibles para la semana entrante en la República Dominicana.
Mientras que los precios del crudo cayeron de nuevo en el mercado mundial y ahora están en el nivel de hace un año, el precio de los combustibles más de un 30% más que hace un año.
El transporte de la Unión CSN acusó al gobierno dominicano de fraude, porque en vez de bajar los precios de la gasolina tiene solo que esta "congelada".
El hecho es que el gobierno de los precios actuales del crudo en el mercado mundial, no para el mercado de ventas en el país pasa. Para los sindicalistas, una clara violación de la ley.
El sindicato espera: precios de la gasolina en la República Dominicana corresponden a un precio del crudo de 160 dólares EE.UU. por barril, pero el precio actual de 86 dólares EE.UU.. Gasolina y diesel podría ser significativamente más

baratos, ofrecen descuentos de más de un € por galón, de acuerdo con sindicato de transporte realista. Para el propano, esto significaría que tendría a mitad de precio.
Por supuesto, esto también es una espina en la oposición. El candidato presidencial Hipólito Mejía critica no solamente por precio de la gasolina estafa, que acusa al Gobierno de la República Dominicana y el abuso. El beneficio más Wuer utilizar el gobierno para financiar su campaña, por lo que Mejía, en un acto de campaña.

The govt. is motivated to keep the fuel prices high because they realize massive amounts of tax revenue because of the inflation generated by exagerated fuel prices.
Hig fuel prices raises the tax revenue on every single product and service sold.
