The Utility Regulation and Competition Office (OfReg) of the Cayman Islands confirms that there are 28 retail petrol stations across the Islands; 25 retail stations on Grand Cayman, two retail stations on Cayman Brac and one retail station on Little Cayman.
This constitutes 11 Rubis retail stations across the three Islands. There are 11 Esso (SOL) retail stations, one Refuel and an independent retail station, which markets ethanol-blended gasoline and biodiesel-blended fuel, and five marina retail stations located across Grand Cayman. Almost all retail petrol stations have a convenience store attached.
As of 29th December 2023, the average self-service price for premium, regular and diesel fuel was CI$5.44, CI$5.35 and CI$5.91 respectively per imperial gallon (IG), although prices vary from one station to another. The fuel prices in the Cayman Islands are influenced by the price of fuel on the international market. Self-service petrol prices are typically 5¢ per IG less than full-service prices. Weekly prices for retail fuel across the Islands are posted on OfReg’s website. The (import) duty component of gasoline is 75¢ per IG and 85¢ per IG for diesel.
The quality of gasoline sold in Cayman is generally regular unleaded (89 Anti-Knock Index (AKI) octane) and premium unleaded (93 AKI octane), which are available in the US. Regular E10 (87 AKI octane), mid-grade E10 (90 AKI octane), and premium E10 (93 AKI octane) are also available.
Cayman Islands Law states that all fuel stations must display their fuel prices in CI dollars per imperial gallon, except at marinas, where prices must still be displayed in CI dollars per imperial gallon for comparison purposes but may be dispensed and charged in CI dollars per US gallons (which is approximately 20% less per volume than imperial gallons).
