It takes two to three weeks for international oil prices to be reflected in domestic prices, as international oil prices have recently fallen. Dubai oil, based on imported crude oil prices, fell $ 5.4 from the previous week to $ 77.3 a barrel. International gasoline prices fell $ 5.0 to $ 86.6 and diesel for automobiles fell $ 5.0 to $ 99.3.
