International oil prices fell, and New York May oil futures fell to a negative number, but local auto fuel prices remained high, and oil companies were suspected of "accelerating the slowdown."

The Consumer Council today (21st) released a survey of local vehicle fuel prices. As a result, it has been found that, in the past four years, with the unchanged fuel tax on vehicles, the price paid by local car owners for each liter of fuel has also increased by $ 3.

The Consumer Council said that because of the lack of transparency in import prices and costs, it is difficult for the Consumer Council or other stakeholders to further analyze the proportion of various costs that account for more than $ 3 increase. The Consumer Council hopes that the government and oil companies will be able to disclose relevant data and enhance social understanding of the industry to solve the mystery.
