Prepare for a major decrease in the price of butane tomorrow. Government announced
today that the price for a 100 pound cylinder of butane gas in Belize City will
cost $96 tomorrow.
That is a $28 drop from the $124 it’s been selling for since the last
price change on September 16th. It is also the lowest price for butane gas in
years. The retailers we checked with today couldn’t remember the last
time they sold butane for under a hundred dollars.
The $28 dip will take effect countrywide. The new prices for the districts
are $98 in Belmopan and San Ignacio; $97 in Orange Walk; $99 in Benque Viejo;
$100 in Dangriga; and $101 in Punta Gorda. Those prices don’t include
the $2 delivery charge. That means in Belize City the new price of a delivered
tank will really be $98.
