Fuel prices are finally fluctuating in favour of the consumers with the recent fall in prices this week. The new prices took effect at local petrol stations from Monday, July 9.
The price of gasoline at the pumps is presently $15.44 a reduction of $1.14, while diesel is now retailed at $14.15 per gallon, a reduction of $1.15 from its previous cost of $15.30.
This reduction came as a result of reduced cost from suppliers which had come down to the pumps and to consumers.
Consumers are welcoming the recent reductions in fuel price. One motorist said about the new prices. “It’s time we get some kind a ease somewhere. Everything just increasing but we pay not increasing though, so it’s a good thing that we can see fuel price go down.”
Last year fuel price sky rocketed to $1.50 per gallon, with diesel at $16.06. In April this year, the price trickled to $17.43 while diesel had gone to $16.92.
