Gas Price Review - Week Ending December 18, 2008
Strangely this week Petrojam annouced increases in the price of Gasoline products
including Diesel. This is very surprising given the current price of oil and
the current market prices in the world. The price for a litre of diesel will
go up by almost $0.09 while unleaded 87, 90 and E 10 are to go up by $2.75 wiping
out the reductions from the previous week. This is increase comes as the price
of Oil continues to hover around the US$40 mark and fell to as low as $36 for
a barrel. Jamaicans however have to contending with a sliding dollar that has
now passed the JM$80:US$1 mark.
