2012/13 Budget - 44% increase in Premium gasoline

[Polydor]

The new Minister Of Finance clearly didn't demonstrate an ability to exercise critical thinking when it came to this particular adjustment.
A big banker and senior exe. don't have a gut feeling about being led down a flawed justification?
Why doesn't the gov't consider a regulated approach for the sale of diesel by issuing some form of licsence to qualify for subsidised prices with preference given to 'goods',public transport and heavy industrial vehicles and equiptment.This must be based on an application process with 'T' registration not facilitating automatic qualification.
Weed out the luxury liners!

^^^ to add to that all vehicles licensed with "T" plates should be charged a yearly fee for use of roads as they do the most damage.

my $0.02

[pioneer]

That would require them to actually THINK about a policy, why would they do that?

[toyolink]

On a lighter note 'planass' comes in all different forms and clearly is abbrev. of 'plan the ass'.

shoulda keep that 2cents to yourself or better justify your statements

[TRAE]

the 43% increase in the price basically signals to super and diesel users....brace allyuh MC

re think that, if diesel goes up say by 100%.... who exactly feeling the full brunt of that, not the owners of such, would be everyone else

highway taxis go charge double

[Morpheus]

My humble CK4. Rubbing shoulders with Audis and BMWs according to the PM. Therefore I can afford to pay the hike. Well yes.

I guess they have no clue about high compression engines. VVL, VVT, MIVEC, VTEC, GDI unite!!

Can somebody confirm for me the recommended fuel for a HR15DE engine, please?

Super from manual,90/91

That's not quite correct, that 90/91 octane they talking about? Is actually the AKI (Anti-knock Index), which is the average of the RON and MON.
So this AKI, is what's displayed on gas pumps in other countries. But in Trinidad, they only display the RON on the pumps.
So back to the point I was making.... What they calling premium in Trinidad, has a RON of 95, and an MON of 85...the average of these two figures is 90.

So there you go. You need the "premium" gas..

Hope I ain't confuse anybody

[Jonathan]

if a vw gti still ran okay on the dyno with regular grade fuel vs the recommended premium grade fuel, a drop of a few hp and ft-lbs of torque is not all that bad, it means good news for vw owners in tt since most of the vehicles besides the diesel versions are simply 1.4 and 1.8 turbos.

Based on the article via link below, we would not encounter any problems with the switch to super.

Don't confuse the AKI with RON. There's a big difference.

[nervewrecker]

penal sando taxi prices already gone up, they all start working with premium unleaded.

I waiting to hear sando - pos price hike

[eliteauto]

some Premium cars are not so Premium it seems

[Stephon.]

So this list is actually accurate!

[tr1ad]

need i say more

didn't put the tida cuz ..... well crossdrilled only premium by proxy

[Habit7]

Some of that info was retrieved from http://www.cars.com . Most US gas stations dont have 95 RON gasoline so it doesnt relate to cars which can be of different specifications.

In addition they refuse to include the year of manufacture for those models, which can range many different specs.

[sMASH]

sooo, in 2013, WHEN the subsidies for the other fuels go up, what allyuh goh do den, run to the cng?

all the subsidies are being reduced, it just made public relations sense for the premium alone to be effective with the budget.

btw, prices would go up on every thing when the subsidies are removed, but it is necessary evil to be economically safer.

Question: Why have they been pushing CNG instead of LPG? Propane and butane in LPG would have much more energy than the methane you get in CNG so would be better for the small engined cars we have here.
