Gas stations will get higher commission on fuel oil

Fuel transporters to receive raise as well

The Cabinet has agreed to amend the pricing structure of fuel oil. For each tank (20 liters) of fuel oil, fuel transporters will receive an additional commission of $0.05 while gas stations will receive an additional $0.2.

Sami Brax, Head of the Syndicate of Gas Station Owners, said: “We will now receive $1.2 per tank of fuel oil sold.” The Syndicate had called for increasing the commissions to $1.3 per tank, in light of the increase in global fuel prices.

The commission of fuel transporters reached $0.23 per tank. In 2012, the Cabinet had raised their commission by an additional $0.05 per tank, bringing it to $0.18. The Association of Petroleum Importer Companies did not receive any raise.
