FALKLANDS SUFFER ANOTHER HIKE IN FUEL PRICES
By J. Brock (FINN)
With the price of crude oil hovering above the $70.00 USD mark, the Falklands have, today, suffered yet another hike in the price of heating fuel. Diesel is now at .39p per litre and Kero is.50p a litre.
Crude prices rose over last weekend and early this week in response to the hurricane damage hydrocarbons infrastructure has suffered offshore in the US Gulf States of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
It is not certain at which price current stocks of refined hydrocarbons products were purchased by Stanley Services and this is reflected in the fact that petrel and propane gas prices remain the same. Stanley Services have, on a trial basis, waived delivery costs on orders above 500 litres, to help keep the cost of Kero and Diesel down.
