Fuel Prices

Have you seen the fuel prices these days? It’s now at $55 per liter for diesel & $63 per liter for gasoline. This translates to $275 per gallon & $315 per gallon respectively. At latest exchange rates, this amounts to more than US$4 per gallon and US$5 per gallon respectively. This is not good! Now I’ve realized the good of speed limits. It’s the most economical pace to drive. It now takes JA$2700 to fill my tank up from JA$1200 about a year ago. This is more than double! At this rate, it’s going to be better if we rode bicycles. But I know no Jamaican motorist is going to do that. Pride is at stake. Let’s hope that we can start driving with our eye on the fuel level & make better choices concerning our driving habits. Also, let’s pray that God orchestrates something to cause a drop in fuel prices before it gets ridiculous. Later.
