Motorists are to pay at least $1.40 more for gasoline come tomorrow.



The state owned oil refinery says the increases are due to changes in the US Gulf Reference Prices.



As a result, a litre of unleaded 90 will be sold for $68.33, while a litre of unleaded 87 moves up to $66.89 cents.



A litre of E-10 gasolene will now cost $64.86.



Both automotive diesel and kerosene have been increased by $1.10.



A litre of diesel will now cost $65.57, while kerosene will be sold for $56.64 per litre.



The price of a litre of cooking gas has been increased by $0.05 to sell for $30.57.



As is customary, retailers will add their mark ups to the announced prices.
