Since news broke that the GOJ was going to place a new tax on petroleum products and the denial of the Government, fuel prices have increased by close to $5.50 per liter, which will bring in thousands of dollars to the Jamaican Government.
Has Petrojam deliberately been pushing up gas prices to guarantee the government of Jamaica a certain level of taxes ??

You are right on the money Jay!! Fuel in Montego Bay for the last few years have been cheaper, by approx $4.00 to $5.00, and up to a few weeks ago, than in the Ocho Rios area. Now they are the same. Backdoor Tax?
