A number of oil companies announced new decreases in the prices of gasoline and diesel fuel. Starting with December 30, motorists will pay by about 0.40 lei less per liter of gasoline and by about 0.30 lei less per liter of diesel fuel, IPN reports.

According to a communique of the National Agency for Energy Regulation, the average selling price of gasoline fell from 17.35 lei to 16.94 lei per liter, while of diesel fuel – from 14.95 lei to 14.64 lei per liter.
