The price of gasoline in Cambodia jumps up again at the end of last week while gas stations are increasing their price to reflect the increase of oil price on the international market. On Sunday, along various gas stations, such as Total, Caltex and Sokimex, the price of gasoline varies between 4,350 and 4,450 riels per liter following a 200 riels increase last Wednesday and Thursday. Stephan Dion, the chairman of Total Cambodia, told The Phnom Penh Post on Sunday that: “We started increasing the price on Thursday.” He added: “The price of gasoline increases because the price of crude oil on the international market has increased.” He said that “If the price on the international market increases, we will increase accordingly.” On Sunday, the average price of gasoline in Phnom Penh varies between 4,100 riels and 4,150 riels per liter. Two weeks ago, the price of gasoline ranges between 3,900 and 3,950 riels per liter. Total stations have the highest price: 4,450 per liter as of Sunday.

Bun Rany,
Could you stop to steal money from poor Khmers ?
In western countries, when gas cost $1, oil distrbutor companies pay $0.40 to government.
Bun Rany pays nothing.
She steals money from Khmers or from government tax money.
THAT IS CRIMINAL, BUN RANY!
