Demand has fallen to 120,000 cylinders for the two-week
period, while the same period last year witnessed a demand for 150,000
cylinders.
Meanwhile, the demand for kerosene remained low, while the
demand for diesel also dropped by 30 percent, Seidat added.
Demand for gas cylinders is expected to rise over the next
few days as a weather depression hits the Kingdom, especially given the high
costs of kerosene, diesel, and electricity for heating homes, the syndicate
head noted.
Seidat also predicted that fuel prices will drop near the
end of the month based on the syndicate’s monitoring of global fuel prices.
Every year, Jordan consumes nearly 4 billion liters of
various types of fuel, he said.
