This report covers rum now more expensive with key details and context.
In Trinidad and Tobago, an interesting price shift has emerged, with puncheon rum now costing more than fuel. A full tank of Super gas is approximately three hundred dollars, while a single 1.75 litre bottle of puncheon rum is about five hundred and forty five dollars. When broken down, puncheon costs more than three hundred and eleven dollars per litre, compared to gas at six dollars and ninety seven cents per litre. This scenario raises a significant question: why does a socially enjoyed drink carry a higher per-litre cost than the fuel that keeps the country moving? The situation symbolically represents the surprising gap between necessities and luxuries. It’s a reminder of how value changes and prompts questions about the evolution of our spending habits, as rum becomes a luxury item and gas remains the more affordable option.
