Bridgetown.
Barbadians will have to pay more for lower sulphur diesel , this was made clear by Prime Minister Freundel Stuart yesterday, when he officially opened the green maintenance facility of the Barbados National Oil Company Limited(BNOCL) at Woodbourne, St Philip.
The Prime Minister indicated that initial commodity cost, as well as freight charges, would put the price at the pump a lot higher than what motorists now pay for diesel with a high sulphur content.
Stuart was reacting to charges from vehicle importers and motorists that diesel quality was below grade and unsuitable for some luxury vehicles.
He said the Government had instructed the BNOCL to examine the feasibility of importing the low sulphur diesel and the company had started the exercise.
