Gas price drop

According to Opinet, a website providing oil price charts run by Korea National Oil Corp., the price of refined fuel products has dropped in the first week of November, snapping a 19-week rising streak. The average gasoline price per liter sold that week stood at 1,660.4 won ($1.47), 29.7 won lower than the week before. The drop came about a week after the government implemented measures to cut fuel tax over the next six months. Yonhap
