1  The prices of petroleum products are valid in the 0-zone, i.e. areas where no transportation costs are added to the prices. The average list prices of motor gasoline and auto diesel are retail prices at the filling stations. Prices of kerosene and light domestic fuel oil include transportation to the consumer in quantities of respectively 0-2999 litres and 2 400-3 999 litres.
2  In 2000, the taxes on auto diesel were changed twice, while the taxes on both auto diesel and gasoline were changed twice in 2001. The prices in the tables are estimated as an average.
3  Refers to auto diesel oil that contains less than 0,005 per cent sulphur, by weight.
4  Refers to light heating oil that contains less than 0,05 per cent sulphur, by weight.
5  Paper and paper products and energy intensive manufacturing are not included.
