ガソリン、８週ぶり上昇　１６９円８０銭―経産省

　経済産業省が８日発表したレギュラーガソリンの給油所店頭小売価格の全国平均は、６日時点で前週比１円６０銭高の１リットル当たり１６９円８０銭だった。値上がりは８週ぶり。足元の原油価格上昇を反映した。
　地域別のガソリン価格は、４１都道府県で値上がりし、５県で値下がりした。高知県は横ばい。最高値は長崎県の１８１円７０銭。
　原油市場では、欧州連合（ＥＵ）によるロシア産石油の輸入禁止などによる需給逼迫（ひっぱく）への懸念が強く、原油価格は当面、値上がり基調が続く見込み。
　経産省は９日以降の補助金支給額を２円１０銭増額した３８円８０銭と決定したが、原油価格の上昇分を吸収するには「とても足りない」（日本エネルギー経済研究所石油情報センター）という。（2022/06/08-17:27）

The average retail price of regular gasoline in Japan as of Monday rose 1.6 yen from a week before to 169.8 yen per liter, up for the first time in eight weeks, reflecting higher crude oil prices, an industry ministry report showed Wednesday.
   The average pump price rose in 41 of the country's 47 prefectures, fell in five others and stayed flat in the remaining one--Kochi. The highest price was marked in Nagasaki, at 181.7 yen.
   Crude oil prices are expected to remain on an uptrend amid supply concerns chiefly reflecting the European Union's ban on Russian oil imports.
   The industry ministry has decided to increase the amount of subsidies paid to oil wholesalers by 2.1 yen to 38.8 yen per liter beginning Thursday.
   However, the subsidy increase is not near enough to offset the higher crude oil prices, said an official at the Oil Information Center, which conducts the weekly survey on behalf of the ministry.
