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

The Department of Consumer Affairs (DACO) has released an update on gasoline prices in Puerto Rico, which have been fluctuating due to the conflict in the Middle East and disruptions in oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz. As of August 7, the price of regular gasoline is expected to range between $0.95 and $1.02 per liter, premium gasoline between $1.09 and $1.20, and diesel between $1.18 and $1.27.

The conflict and disruptions have caused a surge in fuel prices on the island.
