Here are three Jamaican websites that can reduce your search for useful information, and save you money.

A critical issue at the moment for the Jamaican public is gas prices. The cost of petrol resembles what most wish their stock portfolio charts looked like. The website www.jamaica gasprices.com.jm is invaluable.

The website consists of a blog, a weekly gas price review and a submit prices page.

It also has a great mobile version, which displays very well on most if not all-mobile handsets with Internet capabilities.

The site offers:

Information on gas prices and industry news.

Fuel conservation tips.

Information on service stations, and more.

The site www.events.in876.com provides users with information on upcoming events.

Its listings include stage shows, religious vibes, festivals, sports, seminars, arts/culture, carnival, performing arts, and more. The site's design mimics a wall calendar in its display of events.

Though not the most unique of Jamaican websites, it does allow you to post your listings for free.

Consequently, the site offers a lot of information on upcoming events.

The website www.top5jamaica.com is regarded as the veteran among Jamaican websites online. For the last eight years, this site has focused on Jamaican content, listing over 4,000 websites across 60 categories.

As the name suggests, Topfivejamaica lists the top five websites across each category.
