The Papua New Guinea government says it is likely to subsidise the cost of fuel to help consumers.

Sir Michael Somare said the National Executive Council would decide next week on whether to subsidise the cost of fuel or reduce tax on fuel products.
Some motorists feeling the fuel price pinch have been trying to save petrol by switching off their engines and rolling down hills in neutral.
