Fluctuations in exchange rates and Brent oil prices continue to directly affect fuel prices. As of midnight, a price increase of 1.61 TL per liter was applied to gasoline and 8.89 TL per liter to diesel. While these record increases immediately reflected on pump prices, the SCT (Special Consumption Tax) reduction made yesterday has been effectively reversed.
Fluctuations in exchange rates and Brent oil prices continue to directly affect fuel prices. As of midnight, a price hike has come into effect for both gasoline and diesel groups.
With the Presidential Decree published in the Official Gazette, the fixed SCT (Special Consumption Tax) on diesel was set to zero lira between August 13-31. Following the zeroing of the SCT, a massive discount of approximately 9 lira was applied to diesel prices yesterday. However, due to the rise in international product prices and exchange rate movements, the new 8.89 TL hike made at midnight completely eliminated the effect of yesterday's SCT discount.
THE BIGGEST HIKE IN DIESEL IN RECENT PERIOD
With the new tariff effective from Friday, August 14, the biggest price increase in the diesel group in recent times was recorded. The increase in the liter price of gasoline and the record rise in diesel were directly reflected on drivers' fuel tanks.
GASOLINE LITER PRICE INCREASED BY 1.61 TL
An increase in gasoline prices, which drivers have been eagerly following, was also inevitable. With the 1.61 TL hike reflected on the liter of gasoline as of midnight, the liter price of gasoline climbed above the 71 to 72 lira level in three major cities. The cost of filling a tank has become heavier once again for gasoline vehicle owners.
