This week, the average prices for gasoline and diesel at domestic gas stations have seen a slight decline for the fourth consecutive week.
On June 13, the Korea National Oil Corporation's oil price information system reported that the average gasoline price nationwide fell by 0.5 won to 2,009.9 won per liter compared to last week.
Specifically, the highest prices were recorded in Seoul, where the average rose by 0.7 won to 2,051.5 won, while Daegu reported the lowest average price, which decreased by 1.4 won to 1,990.6 won.
There were also differences in prices among companies. The highest average price was at SK Energy stations, which charged 2,013.8 won, while the lowest was at Alttel gas stations, with an average of 1,995.9 won.
Diesel prices also saw a decrease, with the average falling by 0.3 won to 2,004.8 won.
International oil prices experienced fluctuations earlier this week due to ongoing clashes between the U.S. and Iran, but dropped later in the week following comments from President Donald Trump regarding a potential peace agreement between the two nations.
The price of Dubai crude, a benchmark for imported crude oil, fell by $4.5 to $89.7.
International gasoline prices rose by $1.3 to $117.5, while international diesel prices decreased by $7.9 to $140.1.
Meanwhile, the government has frozen the sixth round of maximum oil prices, which has been in effect since May 22. As a result, gasoline prices remain at 1,934 won per liter, diesel at 1,923 won, and kerosene at 1,530 won.
