Fuel prices in Moz.

Also latest on fuel prices: (From allafrica.com):
The sharpest increase is for petrol. A litre of petrol rises in price
by 17 per cent, from 26.57 to 31.09 meticais (at current exchange
rates, there are about 34.1 meticais to the US dollar).
A litre of diesel will now cost 28.16, rather than 24.7 meticais, an
increase of 14 per cent. As for kerosene, its price goes up by 15 per
cent from 17.92 to 20.61 meticais a litre.
The smallest increase, just four per cent, is for LPG cooking gas,
which rises from 42.77 to 44.48 meticais a kilo.
These prices are for the port cities of Maputo, Matola, Beira and
Nacala, where the fuel is unloaded. Elsewhere in the country, fuel
distribution companies are allowed to include their transport costs
when calculating the final price to the consumer.
Fuel prices were frozen between March 2009 and March 2010. During this
period, the government kept fuel prices low by subsidizing the fuel
companies. As from March, the government has been gradually removing
the subsidy, and so further price rises are likely in coming months.
