Petrol Drops J$4.50 as Diesel and Cooking Gas Rise

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Both grades of petrol are falling by J$4.50 per litre from Thursday, October 22, 2026, under Petrojam’s latest weekly ex-refinery schedule, while diesel, kerosene and cooking gas become more expensive.

E-10 87-octane gasoline falls to J$201.81 per litre and E-10 90-octane to J$210.57.

Automotive diesel increases by J$1.59 to J$246.91 per litre. Ultra-low-sulphur diesel rises J$2.94 to J$271.59, while kerosene climbs J$4.50 to J$229.72.

Propane cooking gas rises J$4.50 to J$85.77 per litre, and butane also increases J$4.50 to J$106.19.

The split movement provides a little relief for petrol motorists, but it increases the wholesale cost of diesel and fuels used for cooking and lighting. For households and small businesses already managing higher everyday expenses, the changes will be felt differently depending on which fuel they use.

These are Petrojam’s ex-refinery billing prices, not guaranteed prices at the pump. Marketing companies, distributors and service stations add their own mark-ups, so final retail prices vary.
