Which gas station offers the best value for petrol in St. Ann?

Introduction

This project outlines 18 gas stations in St. Ann that sell four different types of petrol

namely E-10 gasolene-90 octane none 1l, E-10 gasolene-87 octane none 1l, auto diesel none

1l and ultra low sulphur diesel (ULSD) none 1l.The purpose of this SBA is to help persons

who purchase petrol on a regular basis to get the best value for their money as they

purchase.

Data to be collected

In St. Ann there are 18 different gas stations , some that have the same brand name but in

different towns. Each charge different amounts of money and so consumers find it difficult

to get good value for money. Sometimes even the product is faulty. A survey was then

carried out on the Consumer Affairs Commission website to garner information pertaining

to the costs of the various fuels offered on the market to decide where consumers should

shop to get the best price for each type of petrol.

Presentation of data

After the survey it was noted that all gas stations offer different prices for each petrol type.

The following table discusses this further.

 Discussion

After the survey a numer of things were evident. Firstly, it was noted that Marco Auto

Transport Limited offered the lowest price on E-10 90 Gasolene of $153.00 per 1l and Total

in Ocho Rios Offered the most expensive price of$178.00 per 1l on this product. Secondly, it

was also deduced that Marco Transport Limited stations also offered the cheapest price on

E-10 87 Gasolene with a price of $148.00 per 1l while Cool Oasis and Superior Service

Station in Brown’s Town and Total in Ocho Rios offered the most expensive price of

$166.00 per 1l. Thirdly, Morris Hill Superior Service Station in Alexandria is now offering

the lowest price of $135.00 per 1l for Auto Diesel and the most expensive one is Cool Oasis

in Brown’s Town with a price of $170.00 and fourthly, Cool Oasis in St. Ann’s Bay is now
offering the most affordable price on ultra low sulphur diesel at $160.00 per litre and

Petcom and Rubis, both in Ocho Rios, are offering the least afford price valued at $175.00.

It was also discovered that most gas stations don’t offer ultra low sulphur diesel, maybe

because it is too expensive and only one station doesn’t sell auto diesel and that is Cool

Oasis in St. Ann’s Bay.

Conclusion

Based on this survey it can be concluded that Marco Transport Limited in Moneague,

Morris Hill Superior Service Station in Alexandria And Cool Oasis in St, Ann’s Bay are

the stations to go to to get the best deal on petrol in St. Ann because their prices are the

lowest and so I encourage persons to pay attention to this information because it is factual

and helpful.
