FUEL companies raised pump prices last night in Shanghai, bringing most prices back to the government's ceiling.
The retail prices at Sinopec's 560 stations are 4.55 yuan (67 US cents) a liter for 90-octane gasoline, 4.95 yuan for 93-octane gas and 4.71 yuan for zero-grade diesel.
The new prices, which came into effect at 7pm, are in line with the price ceiling set by the government in mid-January, said Shen Xiangyang, deputy general manager of Sinopec's Shanghai sales branch.
Rival PetroChina also raised 90-octane gas price to 4.55 yuan a liter, 93-octane gas to 4.90 yuan and diesel to 4.66 yuan at 9pm yesterday at its local stations, according to employees at several stations.
Sinopec and PetroChina have engaged in a price war since late December as China introduced new pricing rules and crude costs fell.
