Gas oil - D 70.50 per litre (a reduction of D2. 00 off the current pump price)
Kerosene - D63.19 per litre ( a reduction of D4.11 off the current pump price).
The reasons for the reduction are as a result of the decline in the International price of Petroleum products and the foreign exchange rate.
