It important for the public to understand that petroleum prices are likely to remain high since Grenada imports nearly all of its fuel.  Consumers are, therefore, urged to act wisely by conserving and using energy efficiently. 

Furthermore, consumers are encouraged to immediately notify the Price control/Consumer Affairs Unit in the Ministry of Finance of any instance of overpricing at telephone number 440-1369.
