The reduction brought the price of A92 petrol down to VND15,670 per litre from the previous VND17,570 per litre.

Meanwhile, diesel prices were reduced by VND1,460, resulting in a cost between VND15,120 and VND15,170 per litre.

Now, kerosene stands at VND15,610, a reduction of VND1,500, while fuel oil (FO) is priced at VND11,750 to VND 12,220 per litre, VND1,080 lower than the previous price.
