Motorists can expect a hike in the price of fuel effective today.
The Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica (PetroJam) said oil prices remain high supported by the continued weakening in the US dollar and supply concerns.

Unleaded 87 will be sold for $70.86, while a litre of unleaded 90 will cost $72.30.
Automotive diesel oil will be increased by $2.37 and will cost $75.66.
The price of cooking gas goes up by $1.18.
