Last week, oil companies had mixed price adjustments, decreasing prices for gasoline while increasing diesel and kerosene prices.
Department of Energy (DOE) data showed that the price adjustments last Tuesday made the gasoline and diesel year-to-date prices to have net increments of PHP7.15 and PHP4.45 per liter, respectively.
On the other hand, year-to-date price of kerosene had a net decrement of PHP1.35 per liter. (PNA)
