Why this matters: For Puerto Rican households and businesses, the increase in gasoline prices may impact daily expenses and transportation costs, affecting the local economy.

The Department of Consumer Affairs (DACO) released an update on gasoline prices in Puerto Rico, amid fluctuations in fuel costs on the island. According to the update, regular gasoline prices should range between $0.99 and $1.05 per liter, premium between $1.13 and $1.22, and diesel between $1.25 and $1.32.

The prices have increased due to the conflict in the Middle East and disruptions in oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global supply.
