Good news for Jamaican Motorists

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Jamaican motorist can breathe a little sigh of relief as the ex-refinery price of 87 and 90 Octane decreased by $0.27 while the price for Diesel increased by $0.05 . The decreases still does not bring the prices below those ex-refinery prices of two weeks ago but right now any decrease is a welcome one.

Diesel most expensive fuel

Diesel is not the highest price fuel of the three used by Jamaican motorist. This is mark change from a how thing use to be. Diesel was once touted as the cheaper alternative fuel and Jamaicans were once encouraged to look at purchasing Diesel-powered vehicles. Despite the increase the fuel economy of Diesel engines still make those vehicles an attractive alternative.

On the gas prices scene, the thing that Jamaican motorists will have to look out for are the service stations that decide to actually reduce the prices and how quickly they will do so.
