Expressway Withholding price limits for petroleum products such as gasoline at gas stations

NEXCO EAST (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Chairman: Shigejiro Yagi) is the national average price of the “Petrol Products Market Week Trend Survey” published by the Japan Energy Economics Institute Petroleum Information Center every week. Was set as the upper limit price for petroleum products such as gasoline sold at gas stations on Expressway, but for the time being we decided to suspend the setting of the upper limit price from 0:00 on Saturday, April 12, 2008.

This is because there is a considerable difference in the selling price of gasoline, etc. at each gas station due to the expiration of the provisional tax rate, and if the upper limit price is set as usual, the selling price of gasoline, etc. will be reduced at each gas station. This is because it may hinder the setting.

The national average price of the “Gas station petroleum product weekly market trend survey” will be provided as reference information on our website.

In addition to our company, this measure will also be applied to Central Japan Expressway, West Japan Expressway and Honshu-Shikoku Expressway.
