The Public Services Regulatory Authority (Aresep) has approved updated prices for gasoline, diesel, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), following a request from the Costa Rica Oil Company (Recope).


The gas price adjustments reflect fluctuations in international fuel markets, influenced by heightened political tensions between Israel and Iran during import negotiations held from May 9 to June 12, 2025.

The updated prices will be as follows:

• The price of super-branded gasoline (RON 95) will increase from ₡665 to ₡669 colones per liter (p/l), roughly $1.33 p/l.

• Regular gasoline (RON 91 or Plus 91) will rise from ₡643 to ₡653 colones p/l, about $1.30 p/l.

• Diesel prices will decrease, from ₡530 to ₡527 colones p/l, approximately $1.05 p/l.

• Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), used for cooking, heating, and vehicles, will also drop in price. A 25-pound cylinder will now cost ₡7,460 colones, down from ₡7,210 colones, or roughly $14.42 per unit.

The new prices are effective on Wednesday after being published in the official government bulletin La Gaceta.

The Public Services Regulatory Authority (Aresep) is the State-owned agency in charge of setting the price of public services and products.

The Costa Rica Oil Company (Recope) is the State-owned company in charge of importing, distributing and selling fuels in the country.
