The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) announced today (April 28) an adjustment to the auto liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations from May 1 to May 31, 2006. The adjustment is made according to the terms and conditions of the contract of the dedicated stations.
An EMSD spokesman said that the adjustment on May 1 reflected the movement of LPG international prices in April. The adjusted auto LPG ceiling prices for dedicated stations would range from $2.57 to $2.94 per litre, representing a decrease of about $0.43 per litre.
The spokesman pointed out that the ceiling prices are adjusted according to a specified pricing formula. The formula comprises two elements - the LPG international price and LPG operating price. The LPG international price is the LPG international price of the preceding month. The LPG operating price will be adjusted on the first day of February every year according to movement in the Composite Consumer Price Index in the previous year.
The following are the ceiling prices for respective dedicated LPG filling stations in May:
