Oil Prices hurt Jamaica in every way
This week has seen Oil take a wild ride. Last week Oil fell below the US$100 dollar mark but this week Oil has traded as high as $130 per barrel before moving back down to around $106-107 in trading on Tuesday September 23, 2008. In Jamaica we hope the price will keep trending down not up.
I have been noticing an increase in lines at certain gas stations in Kingston, a sure sign that motorists are picking the best places to buy gas.
Hot spots to get gas at the lowest prices in Kingston include
- Petcom on Slipe Road
- Unipet on Slipe Road
- Total on Heroes Circle
If you know the prices please do not hesitate to submit.
Energy Crisis
In Jamaica, the price of Oil is not only hurting motorists. It is hurting all those, including myself, who have to depend on the Jamaica Public Service Company to provide energy.
The stories are frightening as bills have skyrocketed by as much as 50-60% over the last three months. JPSco promises some relief in the September 2008 bills and we now await with hope.
In the meanwhile we must continue our efforts at conservations including planning our trips and avoiding uneccessary trips
