The Government of Saint Lucia has maintained the retail prices of fuel and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) products for the pricing period July 13 to August 2, 2026 under the island’s modified fuel price pass-through mechanism.

Motorists will continue to pay $16.75 per imperial gallon ($3.68 per litre) for both gasoline and diesel, while kerosene remains at $10.41 per imperial gallon ($2.29 per litre).

Retail LPG prices also remain unchanged. The 20-pound cylinder will continue to retail at $34.00, the 22-pound cylinder at $38.00, the 100-pound cylinder at $288.50, and bulk LPG at $2.76 per pound.

The Government continues to subsidise kerosene and LPG products to help offset the impact of fluctuations in international energy prices on households and businesses.

During the current pricing cycle, kerosene is being subsidised by $2.74 per imperial gallon. Government support for LPG includes subsidies of $33.19 for a 20-pound cylinder, $35.91 for a 22-pound cylinder, $47.46 for a 100-pound cylinder, and $0.47 per pound of bulk LPG.

The administration expressed that the continued subsidies are intended to help keep fuel affordable and to reduce the impact of global energy price volatility on consumers.

Fuel prices are reviewed every three weeks under the modified fuel price pass-through mechanism. The next review is scheduled for August 3, 2026.
