Dominicans are expected to dig deeper into their pockets for gasoline, diesel, kerosene and other fuels effective today.
The Ministry of Trade has advised that from today diesel prices will increase by 62 cents to $13.12 per gallon, while gas will be sold at $13.19 per gallon, an 11 cents increase.
Increases are also expected in the price of kerosene and cooking gas.
Domlec indicated last month that consumers would have to pay more for electricity in this month, if PDV Caribe goes ahead with planned increases in the cost of fuel.
Sorry to say, this is world wide. In london gas is now £1.39 per litre, that is about $5.60 a gallon. convert that to EC (about $25.00 per Gallon) and you will see fuel is still cheaper in D/ca than in the UK. LOL!!!!
yes but you need to compare cost of living and the overall economic status of of the population plus the possibility of squeezing more miles per gallon from the vehicles on your roads. here we dont have a choice. must deal with rough terrain.
That is not a Dominica ting it’s a world ting
not even Venizuella that can stop it
Life is getting real ruff for Dominicans in ah dis year time. Whats up with the Petro caribes ? This Petro caribes was the whole talk of the town and folks really thought that gas prices would be very very low in Dominica. Da was a good leg break! Now worries and more worries for gas and diesel.
Boy we die in DA. I guess we have to go back to candle and cooking on wood.
thought Petro Caribe was supposed help against high prices since they have a refinery on island… hmmm that was the promise to get into the island but Chavez is a business man, friend them all get what you want.
everything increasing but your salary…look a ting wi
with all that increase, every week, 2 weeks and month, we get the same wage/ salary.
BUT WAHT ALLU EXPECT THE PEOPLE TO DO?
food prices are going to increase drastically. that’s wht i’ve been hearing. so we islanders are lucky. at least we have the weather condition to plant year round. don’t know what those living in the big cities ar gonna do. hunger is not a good thing.
How are we going to deal with all these increases, please please Mr. PM help us by removing or lower the vat on fuel. Why are we keep on killing we poor children who are trying to make it.
There’s no VAT on fuel….please try to be informed before you speak!!!
Patriotic Citizen: u see how allu be,,, blaming this on b.p,,, yeah maybe they have a small part but we knew it Ghadaffi’s fault here,,,, the same ghadaffi who give d/ca n st vincent money,,, yep yep his fault and now the crisis in japan have made things a lil worse,,, u said about nuclear energy lol u can’t be talking bout dominica are you?? we have wind energy,,, we have hydro energy n geothermal energy,,,, the u.s has all these also and coal to go,,, besides how long would it take to develop the nuclear energy,,,,,,,,
This was a mere error on my part, but in regards to BP, oil prices are rising everywhere and the extreme loss that was recognized last year is somewhat accountable for this… It’s not solely based on Ghadaffi —it’s a global detriment there are mutliple factors contributing to the increases.
This is all effects from the major oil loss from BP last year… The offset in the prices did take a while to be realized however they’ve been rising… At a USD4/gal in NY, but unlike Dominica we can’t so so less reliant on gas…. But there are so many alternates hat we can recognize… this is where nuclear energy looks ever so promising.
Gas prices do not influence my ability to move about nor cook my meals up here in morne au Diable.
I feel sorry for you all down there on the Plantation. This is just a small sample of things to come.
you all have become too dependent on modern conveniences.
but tell me…. if u not dependent on modern conviniences you should not be using to convinience of internet news. get off dno and go back to transister radio.
Sensible thank you very much, you hit the nail right on the head.
What transistor radio? Go back to using smoke signals.
so how come u using computer if we get too dependent on modern conviniences as u put it?????
so neg mawon! What your lap top running on , wood?
coal pot and coals will have to do, cuz i cant take much more
A pile of dry wood, three large stones, and a little bit if kerosene will do the trick. Ki diable gas sa? Don’t forget the big pot. Let’s go back to basics.
That is a 5% increase on gas. I read on the news that oil futures were trading down in anticipation of reduced demand from Japan, and the price per barrel of oil was down. Tell me again why gas prices gone up?
wi papa bondieeeeeh gas go p again jus now horse and donkey will start to reign again.
Yeah bring back the donkeys and one big truck going Roseau. LOLOL
You can’t even get the donkeys back unless you want to go to Antigua and round up the wild ones and then pay all costs involved with bringing them back here.
boy i suspect dem donkeys go raise their prices too
yaw yaw
well is now Dominicans would want to give domlec bad name…sad when is not them ppl fault …the world is changing and with it everything …prices and all,just look at all the disasters out there now and fights over country’s. land and oil..u must expect some result for all this , Dominicans hold strong everything is just for a time ,it will get better and that to shall pass
there is no getting better, we just have to adjust our finances and our lifestyle.
