Jamaican motorists face a marginal cost increase at the pumps this week as State-operated refinery Petrojam unveils the latest update to its closely watched pricing regimen.

Reflecting the volatility on the global stage, Petrojam ended a two-week reprieve to increase 87-octane gasolene prices by $2.56. As of Thursday (March 9), the product closes at a baseline price of J$168.07.

Petrojam was consistent with price increases on nearly all its commonly sought products, except butane, which now costs $3.06 less than the prior week.

It is expected that retailers will add their respective mark-ups to the announced prices.
