"Pricing policy: The regulatory authority adjusts fuel prices, uniform throughout the country, every month based on the average international prices during the previous 15 days and the exchange rate. LPG prices are independent of cylinder size, reflecting cross-subsidization. The price-setting mechanism formally includes citizen participation whereby objections can be lodged and considered by the regulatory authority. In Jun 2008, government eliminated taxes on diesel and switched the levy to gasoline to protect the vulnerable from surging oil prices. Costa Rica is a member of the Friends of Fossil Fuel Subsidy Reform.
Information: The national refining company posts detailed information on price adjustments on its Web site going back to 1994.
Compensation: An audit reported in 2012 found that fishing boats had received a total of US$112 million in subsidized fuel (on which taxes had been levied) in the last seven years.
