Fuel prices cut before SongkranFrom pan to pump - Bangchak petrol stations launch a ‘Fry to Fly’ programme allowing customers to exchange 2 litres of used cooking oil for 1 litre of regular diesel or gasohol (excluding premium grades) until April 30. SOMCHAI POOMLARDFuel supplies will remain adequate throughout the Songkran holiday, while retail oil prices were set to fall from Saturday after the Oil Fuel Fund Executive Committee approved cuts to levy rates, Energy Minister Akanat Promphan said. Mr Akanat said on Saturday the recent softening in global oil and refined product prices had allowed authorities to adjust domestic retail prices downward. He said the financial position of the Oil Fuel Fund has improved significantly. Further price adjustments will depend on global market developments, particularly uncertainty surrounding tensions in the Middle East, he said.
