Prices are set on a US$ per tonne basis. The following table gives details of prices determined by me from August 1990 to February 1991. The Whitegate price for petrol applies to leaded petrol and Euro unleaded petrol, 95 Octane level. The Whitegate gasoil price applies to gas oil for use as domestic heating oil or as road diesel. Kerosene is not produced by the refinery at present.
Wholesale and retail prices of petrol and road diesel are determined by the Minister for Industry and Commerce.
