The Government of Saint Lucia continues to cushion the impact of global oil price volatility through targeted subsidies.
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.
