Danuta Pavilenene, BC, Vilnius, 20.10.2008.Print version
The decreased prices for crude oil affected the prices for oil products in the global market. Last week, a liter of A-95 petrol cost 3.45 litas in Lithuania, 3.58 litas in Latvia, and 3.50 litas in Estonia.
The price for a liter of diesel fuel stood at 3.73 litas in Latvia, 3.79 litas in Estonia and 3.62 litas in Lithuania.
According to Daiva Joksiene, head of the marketing department of Lietuva Statoil, the prices for crude oil dropped because of the continuing crisis in the world"s finance markets, the decreased consumption of oil and its products in the U.S. and other countries, as well as the restored level of the U.S. reserve, which was imbalanced after the month of hurricanes.
