Gasoline prices fall again but remain above earlier levels

ORANJESTAD — Gasoline prices in Aruba will decrease by 17.9 cents per liter effective Wednesday, November 11, 2026, following October's sharp increase. Diesel prices will also decline slightly, while kerosene will become more expensive.

The Minister of Finance, Economic Affairs and Primary Sector announced the following new prices:

- Unleaded premium gasoline: Afl. 2.945 per liter (down 17.9 cents).

- Diesel ULS: Afl. 3.362 per liter (down 1.4 cents).

- Kerosene: Afl. 3.186 per liter (up 6.7 cents).

Gasoline still more expensive than in July

A comparison with earlier Noticiacla publications shows that November's reduction offsets much of October's increase but does not reverse the price increases recorded over recent months.

In July, gasoline cost Afl. 2.658 per liter. The price increased to Afl. 2.909 in August, Afl. 2.918 in September and Afl. 3.124 in October.

At the new rate of Afl. 2.945, gasoline remains 28.7 cents per liter more expensive than in July, although it is just 2.7 cents above September's level. 

For motorists purchasing 50 liters of gasoline, November's reduction represents a saving of Afl. 8.95 compared with October. However, the same amount of fuel still costs Afl. 14.35 more than in July.

Diesel prices are declining only marginally following October's substantial increase, while kerosene continues its upward trend. The new kerosene price is 62 cents per liter higher than in July.

The figures show that despite some relief for motorists in November, fuel prices remain considerably higher than before the series of increases recorded during the summer.

All prices include BBO, BAZV and BAVP taxes.
