April

Fuel prices fall for April

The new prices come off the back of three consecutive months of fuel increases.

The new prices set as of April 8 see’s petrol sitting 311.5 toea per litre (tpl) after a reduction by 13.44 toea from 324.94 tpl; diesel at 255.79 tpl after dropping by 9.46tpl; and and Kerosene at 239.57 tpl following a decrease of 10.59 tpl.

In a statement the Independent Consumer and Competition Commission (ICCC) said the new prices are attributed to the decreases in the ‘Import Parity Prices’ (IPP) due to the decreases in the Mean of Platts Singapore (MOPS) in March.

Arkansas can't find enough volunteers to witness back-to-back executions

The volunteer pool is apparently thin enough that state Department of Corrections Director Wendy Kelley invited members of a local Rotary Club to volunteer.
