Q COSTA RICA — At 12:01 am Thursday, August 6, 2026, significant price reductions for fuels went into effect in Costa Rica, following approval from the regulatory authority (ARESEP) and publication in the official gazette, La Gaceta. This price adjustment benefits families and businesses, marking a significant reduction in the prices of diesel, premium gasoline, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Unusual phenomenon: Super is cheaper than RegularOne of the most notable aspects of this price adjustment is that super gasoline is now ¢54 cheaper per liter than regular gasoline (Plus 91). The RECOPE (the Costa Rican refinery that refines nothing) explained that during the calculation period used to set this price, no new shipments of regular gasoline were required, as reserves at domestic facilities were sufficient to supply the Costa Rican market.
