China Faces Fuel Supply Crisis
11.01.07
China raised domestic gasoline and diesel prices on Thursday, the first increase in 17 months, as officials respond to a worsening supply situation by easing losses at state refiners. The increase will raise gasoline prices by 9% and diesel by 10%.
Officials hope the price increase will spur refiners to boost production and imports, heading off shortages that have caused gas lines, widespread rationing, and at least one death.
The gap between local and global prices remains wide. Diesel costs about $0.64 a liter at the pump in Beijing, versus around $1 in Singapore and $2 in Britain. Tensions are mounting between the government and its increasingly independent oil firms over who should pay for fuel subsidies.
