THE GOVERNMENT ALSO CONTINUES TO SUBSIDISE LPG PRODUCTS, CONTRIBUTING $33.19 PER 20-POUND CYLINDER, $35.91 PER 22-POUND CYLINDER, $47.46 PER 100-POUND CYLINDER, AND $0.47 PER POUND OF BULK LPG.

In keeping with the modified fuel price pass-through mechanism, the Government of Saint Lucia has maintained the retail prices of fuel and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) products for the period July 13 to August 2, 2026. 

Under the current fuel pricing cycle, the retail prices of gasoline, diesel, kerosene and LPG products have been maintained.

Gasoline and diesel will remain at $16.75 per imperial gallon ($3.68 per litre), while kerosene will remain at $10.41 per imperial gallon ($2.29 per litre). 

The retail prices of LPG products have also been maintained, with the 20-pound cylinder remaining at $34.00, the 22-pound cylinder at $38.00, the 100-pound cylinder at $288.50, and bulk LPG at $2.76 per pound. 

Government support for kerosene and LPG products remains in place to help cushion the impact of international price fluctuations on consumers and businesses.

During the current pricing period, kerosene continues to receive a subsidy of $2.74 per imperial gallon.

The Government also continues to subsidise LPG products, contributing $33.19 per 20-pound cylinder, $35.91 per 22-pound cylinder, $47.46 per 100-pound cylinder, and $0.47 per pound of bulk LPG.

By maintaining these support measures, the Government continues to shield households and businesses from the impact of volatility in international energy prices while helping to keep cooking gas affordable.

Under the modified fuel price pass-through mechanism, fuel prices are reviewed every three weeks.

The next fuel price review is scheduled for August 3, 2026.
