Price of fuel at the pump keeps pumping up
Residents across the country are still reeling from Sunday’s hurricane. While personal losses are still being tallied, the pockets of motorists will also be battered as an increase in fuel prices is sure to add to the existing woes. As of tonight the cost of premium fuel will once again go up an additional thirty-six cents from nine dollars and thirty-two cents per gallon to nine dollars and seventy-two cents. There will also be a twenty cent hike in the price of regular fuel. The cost per gallon will now read nine dollars and thirty-three cents at the pump. Those driving diesel vehicles will fortunately not feel the additional pinch as the price per gallon remains the same.
GAS PRICE HIKE AT THIS TIME.???????????????………………………….
HOW HEARTLESS!!!
this is how the pm will get aid to the public off the backs of the poor hard working people of this country by raising fuel prices instead of going to the world and begging or help no that is beneath him just keep killing the poor people.
Is this a natural rise of fuel price due to market conditions or is this how Barrow intend to pay for the hurricane damages?
Price in the world market has not risen on fuel. This was a scheduled plan by the minister and gov’t of Belize. It is sad that even after this disastrous hurricane, he still plans to implement that increase.
The Prime Minister should have some sort of conscience and pity on the less fortunate citizens of this country that needs that additional 2cents a day!!!
Just another way in which the gov’t of today demonstrates their love for the poor people of this country. Thank you Prime Minista!!!
how high is the gas price going?
i’m not surprise about this since on the previous media press he said that he’ll get the money for those affected but has no idea where it will come from, so here’s how he’s getting the money from rising prices, people, what he’s doing is squeezing all of us to help the needed one, instead of finding help abroad or taking from his fat paychecks for the help of our needed brothers. we too are struggling with the hardship and ontop he wants to squinch us more what a pm we have eh.
Barrow,
Its a cold blooded shame what the Barrow administration is doing the Belizean people. The remedy to pay for lavish recurrent expenditures are two fold (1) increase revenues by taxation or by (2) curbing costs. But Dean will not cut costs. That man will never live the life of the proletariats and have his cabinet and CEO’s take the bus to work (when working if at all) to cuts costs and live the life of the masses.
But you will agree that they will take advantage of the last days in office.
We need to stop blaming the DEAN BARROW administration, fuel prices is rising every where, in the states, it’s going up as well, the rate rite now in some states is 3.15 U.S.
This is the time that additional dollar that was added should be removed this is the time we as Belizeans need it most, after Richard
Usual thing from Barrow Government… Did he not PROMISE to remove HIS $1.00 tax on Gas???? Oh, another of his tons of Broken Promises… 2013 is TOO FAR away, Belize needs him and the UDP OUT !!!
After a hurricane, after we have spend all our money that we do not have, after we have some of our homes destroyed…;..they will increase fuel prices….so why just Premium and regular….ohhhhhhh almost all Goverment vehicles are running on Diesel…………Heartless Barrow……shame on you….not even considering us Belizean…….greedy politiicans..
IT’S LIKE KICKING BELIZE PEOPLE WHEN THEY ARE DOWN……………………
IT’S MEAN & HEARTLESS ………. THIS IS A BAD TIME TO RAISE PRICES.
This is a political move, from the government its not a world issue, oil prices has been stabilized, Barrow have mercy on us..
Maybe since Barrow likes to nationalize companies he should consider nationalizing the storage tanks for the fuel we receive that way he can take bids from different companies to import the fuel instead of sticking with this Esso/Exxon arrangement which obviously is squeezing the life out of Belize.
THIS IS REALLY RIDICULOUS ON BEHALF ON THE BARROW ADMINISTATION!!!!!!!!!!! AS A YOUNG BELIZEAN I AM GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF THIS GOVERNMENT!!! I HAVE BEEN NOTICING THE COST OF LIVING IS GOING UP DAY BY DAY!!!! DEAN OLIVER BARROW WHERE IS THE PROMISE YOU MADE TO THE POOR BELIZEAN PEOPLE TO KEEP FUEL PRICES UNDER BZ$7.00???????????? DEAN OLIVER BARROW WHERE IS YOUR PROMISE YOU MADE TO THE POOR BELIZEAN PEOPLE THAT YOU WILL BRING DOWN THE COST OF LIVING NO MATTA WAT???????????????????????
