The price of AI-80 gasoline has risen in Uzbekneftegaz gas stations. They started selling the petrol for 6,800 soums, Kun.uz correspondent reports.

The press service of Uzbekneftegaz also confirmed the increase in prices.

“We can’t explain to people, prices are set by the market. Uzbekneftegaz will not raise or lower prices. If the price rises on the stock exchange, it will automatically affect the price of gasoline in our gas stations,” Siyovush Turakhodjayev, head of the company’s press service, said.

Last year, gasoline prices also rose sharply. After critical discussions on social networks, a “working group” was formed and the price was reduced to 6,500 soums.
