The fuel fell late, not because of the demonstrations of the population, but because of oil, said Valentin Zlatev, president of the Bulgarian Association of Oil and Gas, at a meeting of work in Stara Zagora.
I'm surprised there were no protests three months ago when we started raising fuel prices, and now they are down, Zlatev said.
It was neither logical nor useful to reach an agreement between the companies on fuel prices. We work in a very competitive market with raw materials at a stock market price and the costs of producing and transporting fuels are almost the same, said Zlatev.
A year ago, the Commission for the Protection of Competition had investigated the fact that the fuel prices at the service stations were the same, and that is why the prices are different now. Oil is traded at international prices, fuel technology is also virtually the same. Prices depend on the efficiency of the refineries. In a refinery in the Netherlands, similar to that of Burgas, there are 250 people and three thousand are employed in ours, but we have never allowed ourselves to downsize, Zlatev said.
If the bioenergy component declines in the winter, we can expect a drop of 2 cents per liter of gas, 95 and 5 cents of diesel, said Jivodar Terziev, owner of a BPGA member company. Biodiesel acids, however, can pose big problems for your car's engines because biodiesel is hard to control at temperatures below five degrees, Terziev said. If the introduction of biocomponents in the winter is no longer necessary, they should increase in the summer, as the country and traders will be fined, Terziev said.
