It is different from one store to another. Some stores even sell it for 12,000 kyats. There is no problem with selling less.

Later, the price gradually came back down to only 5,000 kyats per liter. It has been more than a month or two. Now, two or three days later, the price has risen again because of the scarcity of fuel.I had to buy a liter at 9,500 kyats this morning. The outside price is different from one place to another. In some places, there are some selling for 10,000 kyats.
