Gas cylinder price drops

AS published on Monday, January 16, by the Official State Gazette (BOE), the maximum price of a butane gas cylinder was reduced by €0.92. A bottle of gas should now cost €17.66.

The maximum sale price of liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) is reviewed bimonthly on the third Tuesday of each month, by resolution of the General Directorate for Energy Policy and Mines.

This revision is calculated based on the cost of raw materials (propane and butane) in international markets and also takes into account the cost of transportation and the evolution of the eurodollar exchange rate.

As a result, the revision, either upwards or downwards, is limited to 5 per cent and the excess or defect in price accumulates, to be applied on subsequent occasions.
