Pump Prices Up And Down

The Ministry of Finance is reporting tonight that fuel pump prices will be fluctuating once again.

Effective at midnight, premium gasoline will go down by 50 cents from $11.13 to $10.63 per gallon. Kerosene will also decrease by 27 cents from $7.72 to $7.45 per gallon.

That works out in the public favor, but - don't start singing "Gasolina" just yet - because regular and diesel are going up, quite a bit.

Regular gasoline will go up by $41 cents from $9.96 to $10.37 per gallon. Diesel will increase by 17 cents from $9.79 to $9.96 per gallon.

The Ministry says that these price changes reflect the fluctuation in the acquisition price of refined fuel products in the countries from which Belize obtains its supply.
