Heavy rainfall over much of the country is adding delivery challenges as well.The price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in Shanghai was $4.73 per gallon, close to a 3.5 percent increase from the previous average price, the official Xinhua News Agency reported Saturday.China resets energy prices every 10 working days to adjust to market conditions. Oil prices have remained at more than $100 per barrel mark for July because of political unrest in the Middle East.The NDRC last week said Chinese crude oil production increased 3.2 percent during the second quarter of 2013 when compared to the same time last year.
