Starting Saturday, April 18, 2026, consumers across Grenada, including its island dependencies Carriacou and Petite Martinique, will face substantially higher retail prices for most major petroleum products, according to an official price adjustment announcement.
The new pricing structure brings uniform $17.00 Eastern Caribbean dollar (IG) per gallon pricing for three core liquid fuels, a shift that brings sharp increases from previous rates. Gasoline, which previously retailed for $15.18 per IG, will rise by $1.82 to hit the new unified rate. Diesel sees a more moderate increase of $0.89 per IG, climbing from its former $16.11 price to match the $17.00 benchmark. Kerosene bears the steepest hike among liquid fuels, jumping by $3.90 per IG from $13.10 to reach the $17.00 new price point.
For liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), more commonly known to local households as cooking gas, pricing changes vary by cylinder size and geographic location. Across both the main island of Grenada and the smaller islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique, the popular 20-pound household cooking gas cylinder will retain its current price, holding steady at $40.00 in Grenada and $49.00 in the smaller island dependencies. However, larger commercial and bulk LPG purchases will see notable increases. In Grenada, 100-pound LPG cylinders will rise from $296.60 to $350.00, a $53.40 increase, while bulk LPG will climb $0.55 per pound from $3.05 to $3.60. In Carriacou and Petite Martinique, 100-pound cylinders increase by $43.40 from $319.60 to $363.00, with bulk LPG following the same $0.55 per pound hike to $3.60 that applies to the main island.
