World Jan petrol prices mostly up, signs of easing

Global gasoline prices have mostly risen in January but some countries have seen signs they will ease into February as crude has fallen from its record highs and there is potential for a slowdown in demand, a Reuters survey showed.

European countries saw petrol becoming more expensive, with UK prices hitting a record high. Prices in some other countries, including the United States and Japan, dropped.
By country, the costliest petrol in dollar terms this month was in Europe’s top oil producer, Norway, overtaking the Netherlands, which fell to second place.

The cheapest was Venezuela. Saudi Arabia, the world’s biggest oil exporter, was near the bottom in the 20-nation survey.
