Citizens continue to monitor gasoline and diesel prices along with changes in Brent crude oil prices and currency rates. DIESEL PRICE INCREASE AT MIDNIGHTAt midnight, there was a significant price increase for diesel without any announcement. Following a price increase of 90 kuruş reflected at the pump, the price of diesel in Istanbul is 42 lira 5 kuruş, in Ankara it is 43 lira 12 kuruş, and in Izmir, it is sold for 43 lira 63 kuruş. HOW ARE FUEL PRICES CALCULATED?Fuel prices are calculated by refineries based on the average prices of refined products in the Mediterranean market, which includes Turkey, and changes in the dollar exchange rate. As a result of this calculation, the prices applied by distribution companies may show slight variations due to competition and market freedom among companies and cities. EPGIS HAD DECIDED NOT TO ANNOUNCE PRICE CHANGESAfter the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK) filed a complaint against EPGIS, the only union that announces price changes, the union stated that it would not share fuel price changes with citizens until the legal process is concluded.
