Belizeans got a most unwelcome after-Christmas gift when they went to the fuel pump this morning: the price of regular and premium fuel has zoomed past the ten dollar mark.
Premium has gone up forty cents a gallon from 9.89 to 10.29. Regular has gone up fifty three cents a gallon from 9.51 to 10.04 a gallon. Diesel is the only one that went down, modestly, from 9.19 a gallon to 9.14 per.
