Reduced prices for petrol and diesel

Leading fuel chains are putting an end to a series of recent price hikes – in the wake of higher global oil prices and a boost to the dollar – with cuts in petrol, diesel and biodiesel prices.

The target price for a liter of 95-octane petrol is reduced by 20 öre to SEK 17.09 per liter at manned stations. The price of diesel is reduced by 10 öre to SEK 18.89 per litre.

For biodiesel (HVO100) there will also be a reduction of 10 öre, which gives a liter price of SEK 22.13.

The prices of vehicle gas and ethanol are left unchanged.

Fuel prices are generally lower at unmanned stations and may vary locally.

Pehrson: Mismanagement at schools should be fined

Education Minister Johan Pehrson (L) wants schools that do not comply with the law to be able to receive fines, as a complement to fines.

– Schools that do not meet the requirements set out in the Education Act must be able to face a direct consequence in the form of a fine. Then you can’t take chances in the way that you might suspect that some schools have done, he tells SR Ekot.

He is referring to Ekot’s previous reporting that the School Inspectorate only went to court in two cases in the last five years and demanded fines.

A penalty order is intended as a means of pressure but often becomes a long process. The issue of fines is currently being investigated and is expected to be finalized this spring.
