(UPDATE) OIL companies raised their pump prices on Tuesday, Aug. 26.
The per-liter price of gasoline rose by 70 centavos, diesel by 50 centavos, and kerosene by 30 centavos.
Continued tensions between Israel and Iran, between Russia and Ukraine, and the big drop in US crude inventories and gasoline stocks triggered the price increases, local oil industry sources said.
