Dominicans will enjoy a further drop in fuel and petroleum product prices, according to the Ministry of Trade.
The new prices come into effect on the island today (Monday, March 2).
The new price for gasoline is $10.28 per gallon retail and $9.58 wholesale.
Diesel now sells at $10.01 per gallon retail and $9.36, wholesale.
Kerosene will now sell at $8.46 per gallon retail and $7.98 per gallon wholesale.
The prices for LPG cooking gas are as follows:
This is about the third time that the prices of petroleum products have dropped in Dominica since oil prices continue to plummet on the international market.
Below are the outlets and prices for LPG cooking gas across the island.
Alright then Petite Savanne is not that far away from Bagatelle to merit a different tariff. Fond St Jean should definitely have the same tariff as Bagatelle?!!
why they did not show d before price of lpg it went up. so the new should alower price because some gone up
Fill up your Jerrycyans !! Get a big one!! This wont last forever
I HOPE the people of GRAND BAY and the SHOP KEEPERS of grand bay are seeing the maximum prices to sell cooking gas so when i come and buy gas ‘doe’ tell me oh i have to pay transportation to go and get the gas so the regular size gas is 36.67 i wont mind if u sell it $37 but doe tell me nothing about 39 40 cuz i will report u and then all u will say i bad i waiting for the shopkeeper in the geneva area
am in Bronx ny I pay 2 49 a garlon
and yet you still can’t spell “gallon”
some thing to think about Dominicans , cooking gas on st.croix us virgin islands $90.00 us for 100lb cylinder,20lb cylinder $25.00 us. calculate .la vie dou in dominica
It looks like they pay salaries in EC currency in St. Croix
Dominica is about 1-2 months behind. In another month or 2, prices will be going up again.
what’s your point? or do you have one?
That not making any sense by not this government should have fuel at less than $10.00 per gallon.
based on what? i am not defending the government but i am trying to see if you understand how the pricing system works or if you can just complaining because its the easiest thing to do.
I’m not hearing nothing from the bus drivers and the fisher men.They demanded an increase and it was granted to them, I’m not hearing them saying now that they are going to decrease the bus fares, nor the fisher men are going to lower the price of fish. Now with the fisher men, some were given boats, and motors by government but that wouldn’t deter them from selling their fish at $10.00 and $11.00 a lb.
We are not enjoying the drop from the price of fuel, the price is way too high, fuel should not be selling for more than $8.00 a gallon. I know that we do not have fuel in DA but it has dropped from a little over $100.00 to less than $50.00 a barrel on the world market, this is my basis in believing that fuel should be sold , not more than $8.00
grell ! I agree with you on that comment.dam right.
And the price of FISH still remains the same???!!
Why aren’t the bus drivers lowering their fares? They themselves said it was because of fuel prices that they had to increase.
it should be done across the board, fishermen etc.
Well, I doubt Savarin will appreciate the drop in prices at the pump, since last week he contended that the low selling price of oil is responsible for the global economic devastation which we know does not exist any longer.
In 2008, the housing, (Real Estate ) market collapsed, in the United States, and since investors in the more developed nations, including banks, bought trillions of dollars in Mortgages, when the industry collapse billions were lost: the collapsed had nothing to do with oil. I can testify to that because in one day I personally lost more than a million dollars.
On that day I had property’s valued at more than a million dollars which value dropped to less than four hundred thousand dollars. The economy of the world has long recovered, the price of my properties are right back to where they were prior to the collapse. Skerrit and Savarin holds on to that lie about oil price to deviate from the poverty in Dominica.
drive down to pointe michel where it is the cheapest… but look out for the volehs they full with them
Enjoy??? What, a few cents? Remember it is not a favour the government is granting anyone. For that matter, the returns the govt. gives is miniscule compared to the astronomical drop on the world scale. Crude oil has dropped from over $100 a barrel, to less than $50 a barrel.
Bull BULL why is it more in certain areas,it should be one price island wide.
it depends on the distance of the village. you must consider cost in transporting the cylinders to those areas.
I agree with you it should be one price thru out the Island, so why the different prices.
different prices because of the distance the distributors have to travel to distribute the fuel/gas
I can’t believe you need someone to explain that to you. Any dummy could figure out why the prices are higher in the villages as you go further and further out of town
YUP so the cost of transportation and all other taxes are taken into account when determining the diff prices so watch out for those voleh shop keepers !
You obviously don’t know much about business and profit margins, but I will give you a little crash course. Whenever you include the transportation factor into the equation it drives up the cost of the product. The further the goods are transported the more expensive they become. There is need for a vehicle to transport these heavy bottles to the various locations across the island, which may involve a hire agreement. Even if the business owns the vehicle, the fuel and wear and tear must be factored in and will be expressed by a cash figure which will be bolted on to the selling price of the goods.
uh huh that shop keeper will make me and her fall out ya i fed up with her
maybe it has alot to do with transportation costs to the further districts…
The further away from the city, the higher the price due to cost of transportation. The gas does not just appear at the different locations.
I can’t believe you need someone to explain that to you. Any dummy could figure out why the prices are higher in the villages as you go further and further out of town
Grell you people obviously out of Dominica far too long, you actually think Dca is a state in your adopted country!!!!
Get some Common Sense boss!!!!
