They said that according to the revision the price of Lanka Auto Diesel was reduced by Rs.7 per litre and Lanka Petrol (Octane 92) was reduced by Rs.5 per litre.
This means that a litre of Lanka Petrol (Octane 92) will now be sold at Rs.148. Meanwhile, a litre of Lanka Auto Diesel will now be sold at Rs.111 by LIOC
XtraPremium 95 (Euro 4) Petrol will be sold at Rs.167, reduced by Rs.5 per litre,
