As international oil prices decline, domestic gasoline prices are also on a downward trend. After reaching 1,796.38 KRW per liter on October 4, prices have continued to fall, dropping to 1,630.55 KRW per liter as of the 5th of this month.



The international price of Dubai crude oil, which we mainly import, rose from $74.8 per barrel in June to $93 in September, but then fell to $89 in October and $83.5 in November. On the 4th, it dropped further to $81.3, leading to expectations that the international oil price stabilization trend will continue into December.
