Petrol and diesel prices are expected to go up marginally at the pumps in the first pricing window beginning May 1 until May 15, this year.
The Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) is predicting that the prices at the pumps are expected to sell at GH¢ 9.538 per litre of petrol and GH¢ 10.829 per litre for diesel.
Comparatively, the average price then goes up by 19GHp per litre (1.94%) over that of the previous window, with petrol going up by 7GHp per litre, representing 0.7%, and diesel also being up by 32GHp per litre, representing three per cent.
This will bring the average price of petrol and diesel for the next window to be at GH¢10.183 per litre.
On the other hand, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is likely to be sold around GHȼ10.093 per kilogramme, showing a reduction of about 21GHp or two per cent over that of the previous window.
