Q COSTARICA — It is the beginning of a new month, which comes with a hefty increase in the cost of diesel fuel, while super and regular gasoline will see a slight reduction.
In the coming days, which could be as soon as Wednesday, the price of diesel will increase by ¢32 colones per liter, while premium gasoline will increase by ¢2 per liter and regular gasoline by ¢8, according to an announcement by the regulatory authority, the Autoridad Reguladora de los Servicios Públicos (ARESEP).
The increase in the cost of diesel fuel will primarily affect freight transport and the productive sectors that depend on this fuel.
The increase will take effect the day following publication in the official government newsletter, La Gaceta.
These adjustments were calculated based on shipments processed by RECOPE (the Costa Rica refinery that refines nothing) between June 13 and July 10, 2025, and reflect international fluctuations in hydrocarbon prices, as well as the actual costs assumed by the state-owned company, according to Ana Carolina Mora Rodríguez, spokesperson for Aresep.
