The price reductions for fuel announced by the Guyana Oil Company (GuyOil) earlier this month have not filtered down to Lethem, Region Nine, where gas stations continue to charge prices that are twice that of GuyOil’s.
“When I heard the gas price dropped, I felt a bit relieved because since restrictions have been in place, food supplies gone up and everything gone up. So when I went to Lethem to stock up, I was surprised that it barely went down,” said Clareta Isaacs, who spoke with Stabroek News about fuel prices in Lethem.
GuyOil announced significant reductions in fuel prices from April 3, following previous reductions announced on March 18.
