The price of a standard 12kg gas cylinder for household use will go down by 80 cents to €18.40 from today, Liquigas Malta Limited announced.

However, the price of unleaded petrol will go up by 2 cents and will stay at €1.46 per litre until the end of June.

It is better news for drivers of diesel vehicles, who will continue to spend €1.36 per litre, the current cost, to fill up over the same period.

The cost of kerosene for consumers will be down 1c to €1.38 and gasoil for heating is up by the same amount, locked at €1.05 for the three months.

These prices reflect those fetched by Enemalta for the latest shipments of imported fuel.

Gas prices are only fixed for a month, until April 30.

A 15kg cylinder will cost €23, down from €24, while one of 25kg will be priced at €38.35, down from €40.

Liquigas said distributors of its cylinders are not allowed to charge more than these prices.
