The price of RON 95-III gasoline went up VND70 to VND21,490 ($0.91) per liter, while that of E5 RON 92 went down VND60 to VND20,410 ($0.86).

The major reason cited was rising food and electricity prices due to prolonged hot weather conditions and state utility Vietnam Electricity (EVN) adjusting the average retail price of electricity.
