JUST about three weeks after enjoying a major reduction in the price of gasolene, motorists using this fuel from yesterday found themselves having to pay 86 cents more per gallon.
Precise when prices will be adjusted either up or down as determined by market forces.
Gasolene has now increased from $10.65 to $11.51 per gallon, while diesel has moved from $11.07 to $10.69 a gallon a reduction of 38 cents.
Reductions have also been announced in the price of the 20 pound cylinder (LPG) from $24.20 to $24.15, the 22 pound cylinder from $27.01 to $26.95 and the 100 pound cylinder from $192.33 to $192.08.
Kerosene remains unchanged at $10.11 per gallon. Bulk LPG moved from $1.84 per pound to $1.79
maybe the day will come and gas stations will put big signs on the stations to advertise the actual gas price for the consumers like in other countries
and who knows maybe the day will come gas stations compete with each other on different prices
Kenny and the SLP government is trying to show St.Lucians that the 3-month pass through mechanism was better than what we currently have; but the truth of the matter is that no new shipment of gasoline has entered the country since the last price reduction; therefore, an increase of 86 cents per gallon is unjustified.
If a new shipment of gasoline enters the country, at a higher cost, I would understand the increase, but since that has not happened, I am baffled by this unnecessary increase.
What Kenny gives with the right hand, he takes away with the left.
