Energy minister explains diesel pricing


Energy minister explains diesel pricing(File photo: Apichit Jinakul)Energy Minister Supattanapong Punmeechaow has explained the government's thinking in acting to lower the price of B7 diesel by one baht per litre at the pump. He said it would help rein in the cost of living as global oil prices rise in a time of hardship. Efforts had been made to persuade people to switch to diesel B10, which was still below 30 baht, but this type of diesel was not popular, he said. There were still technical problems regarding the use of diesel B10 and most consumers still used diesel B7. Mr Supattanapong announced earlier that Epac had approved a cap on diesel prices of 30 baht per litre, initially until the end of the month.
