Jamaica Gas Prices

The afternoon showers have returned and the hills in Kingston are once again looking green and nice.  We hope that this is the beginning of a green revolution of sorts. The voices of energy conservation are once being heard. A Blog on a Jamaican newspaper’s website  even mentions that a housing development, coming to the hills overlooking the city of Kingston, that will have built-in renewable energy features. The houses will get a portion of their energy needs provided by on-site wind turbines and solar panels.

It was interesting, as a I watched cable television last night, to see Ford advertising its 2008 Focus. Apart from the usual gadgets and features, an integral selling point was the fact that it provided 35 miles per gallon(MPG).   The Ford ‘35MPG’ Focus is a nice looking four-door sedan and seems as if it would be fun to drive. With gas prices in the USA and Jamaica at an all time high,  it would indeed make a good choice for wise energy-conscious buyer.

The message has gotten home in the USA, when will it get home here in Jamaica. One radio commentator mentioned that in the USA SUV sales are on the decline while the opposite is true hear. I believe that soon or later SUV sales will trend down here.
