Update on Fuel Prices

The West Indies Oil Company (WIOC) has reported a seven (7) per cent increase in the cost of gasoline and a two (2) per cent decline in the cost of diesel.

Based on the refined pass-through mechanism for fuel prices, which takes into account revenue assurance, price stability, and maintenance of subsidies for certain petroleum products, the Government has decided to adjust retail prices at the pump.

 

Effective Friday 22, March 2024, fuel prices will be as follows:

  • Gasoline: $14.50 per gallon
  • Diesel: $14.25 per gallon
  • 20 Pound LPG: $32.00 per Bottle
  • 25 Pound LPG: $40.00 per Bottle
  • 100 Pound LPG: $155.00 per Cylinder

The average regional prices for gasoline and diesel are currently $15.45 and $15.91 respectively while the regional average for the 20 pound and 100 pound cylinder of LPG is $38.28 and $202.15 respectively.

To support affordability for consumers, the Government continues to provide the following subsidies:

  • 20 Pound LPG: Subsidy of $5.16 per bottle
  • 25 Pound LPG: Subsidy of $6.45 per bottle
  • 100 Pound LPG: Subsidy of $17.64 per cylinder

 

Margins for WIOC, inland transport, and gas station dealers remain unchanged.

  1. Scammers,the population need to be ready to experience (2) things as the racketeering pure mafia style: ( carburants ) petroleum derivatives products and the NEVER RUNNING water supply. Is better this gangsters put one RAMSON like all the sheep’s can pay,instead,may you feel do some disgusting stuff to them.

  2. $14.50 per gallon for gasoline.Please buy bikes and ride them as much as possible.A fill up is going to cost a ham and a cow.The cost of hiring a taxi would be going up for sure.

  3. The recent pay raise for public sector workers is costing the people to much.
    Since the public service increase
    ABST went up 2%
    Commercial water went up
    Mobile service went up
    Food went up
    Social security went up
    Fuel price went up
    KFC went up Wendy’s went up
    Money transfer went up
    Please take back the raise public service ABLP we were better off before it.
    The people are being exploited by the government to fund this raise. Please take back the raise.

  4. It is time to also raise our level of discourse on these very important bread and butter issues. There maybe a very important counter argument to be made on these issues but it maybe lost in the insults and downright disrespect by persons who wish to make a contribution to the debate and those who continue to rubbish the MP’s and the name of Antigua and Barbuda.

  5. Antigua and Barbuda people must wake up . We were told by Gaston ” no administration collected more taxes than his ” ,yet our country looks like a ghetto. Poor roads, inefficient internet ,lack of running water ,high inflation and the rise of youth violence and robberies . It is time for people to see things real and stop talking about party politics . Whether ABLP or UPP,let them perform and not just talk .

    • Not must … need to ……. Some don’t want to fight thru rather stay in the shadows while other go to battle then reap the rewards…… it’s bullshit what this government is doing to the people of this country …….

  6. Burger King you meant , we don’t have pizza hut , dominions nor Wendy’s. Alot of people still singing the same song hope them realize before it’s too late with these wicked people only care about themselves.

      • Chris say, pussy meat gone up too🤣.

  7. Red is bread next level let’s celebrate to get our income reduce much further . No Sorry Tarl dey .

    We ask for it last election so they deliver .

  8. We Antiguans continue to pay through the nose for our goods and services, and when you add-on the taxes (including stealth taxes); yet, we see no benefits in our infrastructures; help with small businesses,low salaries, a distinct lack policing; health services going to rack and ruin; and those who are claiming pensions are wondering if they’ll be paid on time.

    AND NOW ANOTHER PRICE HIKE IN FUEL ⛽

    Prime Minister Browne and his cabal are walking a very thin line with the hardworking citizens of Antigua & Barbuda … this cannot go continue unopposed!

  9. You get the “grabberment” government you voted for!! Then the spin doctor will try and justify each tax hike. Numbskull he is. His days are numbered

  10. Price hike with 48-hrs notice leaves people no time to budget/plan.
    When will bus and taxi fare rises be published? And will they have a 48-hour warning window?
    Govt. keep makingA&B more expensive for all residents and tourists, we have events coming up…Easter, Classics, ASW, SIDS, Cricket.
    Does A&B still offer value for money to residents & tourists?

    Govt wages rise
    But
    Not happening for majority of private sector & entrepreneurs.
    People getting poorer and poorer in real terms.

  11. The rich getting richer, while poor sucking salt (that too gone up) …. Read between the lines… If no money in the gov. coffers, who gon pay? The citizens … School children say… more to come.

  12. At this point, I’d love to see a solid discussion, on firm data as to whether it would be best to just have fuel fluctuate on the open market, and what would be the impact on the economy here. I’m not sure what would happen, but some knowledge on this, and the spoons-off on other industries would be great to know

  13. No one should be surprised at this. The dunce in control of our finances continues to rape poor people and there will be no foreseeable end to this abuse until we remove this man from office.
    I don’t care how he tries to justify this, when a barrel of crude oil cost NOTHING during arguable one of the hardest times in the last 100 years, he deliberately kept the fuel prices high to ,”take advantage of a crisis, “his own words. This is a sick, deranged, out of control clown leaking our tax dollars like water through a sieve.
    We have to rise up, en masse and REMOVE this ALP government before it’s too late. They don’t give a damn about the country. They are growing fat off of poor people’s taxes. Corruption runs like Covid-19 through Antigua and Barbuda, with many civil servants right in the heart of it all. Because of the gross mismanagement, we will continue to see taxes appear out of nowhere. No reputable lending agency will lend this government money.
    Poverty will increase as will crime. You who voted for these people, I hope you are happy. We suffer because of your stupidity.
