We were unable to get a quote from Dangriga.
Even at press-time tonight, GOB had not sent us a press release on the increases.
Some gas stations representatives with whom we spoke said that they received a call on Tuesday, June 14, from a Texaco representative informing them of the new prices.
A spokesperson said that he was informed by his employer on Monday night that the new prices were coming into effect on Wednesday, June 15, and he made the changes sometime around Monday night.
