Right now, the wholesale price for liquefied petroleum gas is 3 dollars and 72 cents per gallon. The new price will be 3 dollars and 86 cents per gallon.

The retail price in all urban areas of the country is currently being regulated at 1 dollar and 21 cents per pound, or 121 dollars for a hundred-pound tank. The new price will be 1 dollar and 24 cents per pound, or 124 dollars for a hundred-pound cylinder. Prices will be a little higher in the rural areas of the country.
