In keeping with changes in international oil prices and the Government’s application of the modified market pass-through petroleum pricing mechanism, the retail prices of petroleum products for the period April 20 to May 10, 2026, have been adjusted as follows:
Fuel Price Adjustment – April 20 to May 10, 2026:
- Gasoline: Unchanged at $3.52 per litre or $16.00 per imperial gallon
- Diesel: Unchanged at $3.52 per litre or $16.00 per imperial gallon
- Kerosene: Unchanged at $2.12 per litre or $9.66 per imperial gallon
- 20 lb Cylinder (9.07 kg): Unchanged at $34.00 per cylinder
- 22 lb Cylinder (9.98 kg): Unchanged at $38.00 per cylinder
- 100 lb Cylinder (45.36 kg): Increased from $238.50 to $263.50 per cylinder.
- Bulk LPG: Increased from $2.26 to $2.51 per pound
The Government of Saint Lucia continues to cushion the impact of global oil price volatility through targeted subsidies. For this period:
- Diesel carries a subsidy of $2.34 per imperial gallon
- Kerosene is subsidised at $8.61 per imperial gallon
- LPG subsidies remain significant, with $36.04 and $39.04 applied to the 20-lb and 22-lb cylinders, respectively
- The 100 lb cylinder is subsidised at $86.69 per cylinder, and bulk LPG at $0.87 per pound
Without these subsidies, consumers would pay approximately $70.04 for a 20-lb cylinder and $77.04 for a 22-lb cylinder.
These interventions aim to protect households and key sectors of the economy from external price shocks.
The next fuel price adjustment is scheduled for May 11, 2026.
