Taiwan's state oil company CPC is holding pump prices flat for another week, good news for drivers even as world oil prices keep climbing.

• Gas and diesel prices stay unchanged from Monday, so there's no reason to rush to fill up.
• World oil prices keep rising because US-Iran talks have stalled.
• The government widened a fuel tax cut, and CPC is eating the rest of the cost to keep Taiwan's prices the lowest in the region.
• Since late February, holding prices down has cost CPC around NT$17.3 billion.

Outlook: Prices likely stay frozen while the US-Iran standoff drags on, but the bill for keeping them there keeps growing.
