TCI Fuel Prices Hit Astonishing Highs – Some Drivers Paying Up To $11 Per Gallon

Turks and Caicos, May 22, 2026 – Fuel prices across the Turks and Caicos Islands remain shockingly high, with motorists in some islands now paying as much as 11 dollars per gallon for gasoline and diesel, according to the latest government fuel report.

The report, released May 20 by the Department of Trade, Industry and Fair Competition, reveals dramatic price differences across the country, exposing the growing cost burden facing residents and businesses outside Providenciales.

The most eye-popping figures come from Salt Cay, where both regular gasoline and diesel were listed at 11 dollars per gallon as of May 18.

In North Caicos, regular gasoline climbed as high as 8 dollars per gallon, while South Caicos stations listed fuel at 8 dollars and 35 cents per gallon.

Even in Providenciales, where prices are typically lower due to higher competition and volume, some stations reported diesel prices ranging from 7 dollars and 40 cents to 7 dollars and 67 cents per gallon. Premium gasoline also approached 7 dollars and 70 cents at some locations.

One of the sharpest increases was recorded at Mervco in Providenciales, where regular gasoline jumped a full dollar in just two weeks — from 5 dollars and 70 cents to 6 dollars and 70 cents per gallon.

The Department said the monthly reports are intended to give consumers greater transparency and understanding of fuel pricing trends throughout the islands.
