Gasoline prices are expected to hit a record high in Korea as average oil prices in the nation have climbed for seven consecutive weeks.

The Korea National Oil Corporation (KNOC) said Friday that gasoline was selling six-point-seven won higher as of the end of this week at an average of one-thousand-989-point-six won per liter.

The record high of one-thousand-992-point-four won per liter was reached in November 2011.

Weekly fuel prices have now been on the rise for the past six weeks following a period from the second week of November where prices fell for nine straight weeks.

Prices at the pump were the most expensive in Seoul at an average two-thousand-64-point-nine won per liter.

The KNOC says oil prices rallied because of sanctions on Iranian oil exports and the conflict between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency over the country’s development of nuclear arms. The corporation says fuel prices are expected to rise further in the weeks ahead.
