Price of Regular Fuel Set to Increase

For the third time in two weeks the Government of Belize has adjusted fuel prices.  Tonight at midnight, regular fuel will go up by three cents, taking it from nine dollars and seventy eight cents to nine dollars and eighty one cents per gallon.  The prices for premium gasoline, kerosene and diesel will remain unchanged at $9.89, $6.46 and $9.20 per gallon, respectively. According to the government, the price change reflects the current demand and supply conditions of crude oil in the international petroleum market and fluctuations in the acquisition price of refined fuel products in the countries from which Belize obtains its supplies.
