Estonians Pay More than Ever Before for Gas
Gasoline prices have reached a record high in Estonia, due to the world market and increasing domestic costs.
On December 28, gas and diesel cost 1.2 euros per liter at Statoil stations, reported ERR radio.
Statoil representative Kai Realo said prices in Estonia are dependent of the world market as the country does not have its own refinery. Domestic taxes are the primary reason why gas is more expensive in Estonia than in some other EU countries, Realo added.
