Pricing Model

There is now renewed talk coming from the Minister of Technology and Energy of reviewing the ex-refinery pricing model used by PetroJam. It is hope that this review will remove the fluctuations caused by certain conditions in United States that do not truly affect the price at which we get Oil. The Jamaica Gasoline Retailers seem to be in agreement with the review suggesting that it is long overdue.
