Fuel Prices Ease Across Several Pacific Island Nations Despite Ongoing Supply PressuresKaya Selby RNZ Pacific journalistFuel prices have plateaued throughout the Pacific, though supply chain "uncertainty" keeps costs high regionwide. Samoa, Tonga and Fiji have each decreased their fuel price caps for August, though each of them remains higher than before April when the global fuel crisis began. In Samoa, diesel is down by 13.2 percent to $2.49 tala per litre, and in Tonga, it has fallen to $2.87 per litre. Samoa sources directly from there, while Fiji also sources, to a far lesser degree, from Malaysia and South Korea. The Cook Islands had spent 152.6 percent more, the month where diesel prices blew up to NZ$4.65 in Rarotonga, and $5.38 in the Northern Group.
