Loud all over the country
Due to the cancellation of the leave, Circle K's press department could not say anything about gasoline prices. However, their competitor St1, serving Shell stations, commented on the whole situation.
- When determining the price of gasoline, 60 percent goes to taxes and fees, 30 percent. is the purchase price of petroleum products, and 10 percent. goes to the distribution network. The reason why gasoline prices are high now is the purchase price. It has to do with supply and demand, and the US dollar is strong right now, says Lillian Aasheim, senior adviser at St1.
