June 22, 2022 DLCA stated “The price of fuel is estimated to continue to rise in the near future. As the price of a barrel of crude oil steadily increases, production at refineries are unable to meet the demand for fuel and the war in Ukraine continues,” as mentioned in multiple news outlets, including CNN, USA Today and the Washington Post. As such, the Department of Licensing and Consumer Affairs (DLCA) reminds consumers to use the price information provided by DLCA’s bi-weekly surveys or use the real time prices found on the mobile phone application SaveMore VI, to identify the most affordable fuel on each island.
Note: If a fuel station increases its fuel price without obtaining prior authorization is subject to a fine of $200 per day of such violation. The retailer is also subject to a fine of $200 for each day it increases its price over the price authorized by DLCA.
