How you can save up to $9 per litre on Gas
As you follow the prices of gasoline across Jamaica especially in Kingston you notice some interesting trends. In last week’s gas review, I noted that the price differential between the high and low price for 90 octane was a staggering $9.65. (see Gas Review of week ending October 1,2008 )
This week so far there has been a reduction in the difference but at this point it remains a staggering $9.49 per litre or roughly $43.08 per gallon. (See Last 7 day Reports for details . Note this is a live report.)
Most motor cars can hold in the region of 12 gallons if not more. That said, let us say that you only have 2 gallons in your tank and you decide it a time for a fill up. By picking the right gas station you could save a tidy sum of $430 (10 x $43) on one refill. If you can $430 per week, it will add up to close to $21,000 for the year. Now that might be small change to some but for many that money could come in handy.
The lowest prices on 90 Octane, based on information available to jamaicagasprices.com.jm, seems to be in the Cross Roads area of Kingston. This can be found at the following service stations, Worldtron’s Esso, Petcom, Slipe Road, Unipet, Slipe Road and Total Heroes Circle.
