gas is cheaper than bottled water in trinidad - you are comparing US$ to TT$.
even at dollar for dollar we are a gas producing nation.

also octane boosters mostly rely on MMT as a means of boosting the octane.
using MMT too often can cause problems with sensors, injectors, catalytic converter etc.

besides there was a test in Soport COmpact Car a few years ago between all the top brand octane boosters - it turned out that only the NOS brand made much of a difference by 1 or 2 points. A bottle of NOS octane booster is nearly TT$100 for the silver can last time I checked -

super+octane booster cannot be more economical

Smokey is right, why penalize the middle class when they are the ones who are suffering the most. If you raise gas then raise it across the board. This move will definately drive up inflation. What has the Government done to offset this added expense to premium users.

It is a fact that premium must be used on most Fuel Injected cars or it could reak havoc. So you mean to tell me that people still using super gas. I am not really against raising gas but pleeeeeease do it across the board as a matter of principle. With the added wealth what is teh Government doing to offset rising inflation?

Blah, i havent heard the full budget yet but so far it sounds like sheit. BTW, RORO increase in tax is the best thing in sliced bread but I know it will hurt many businesses, so not to offend but a better transport system of road infrastruture must yield.

[pugboy]

our gas is still dirt cheap so its not the end of the world

we were in a state where nobody thinks about how much gas they spend and now you just have to think about it now

some of us go drinking paying $30 for a drink and never count how many drinks for the night......

the gas was being subsidized by the government who still has to pay for oil at market prices and oil is more and more expensive to pull out of the ground so somebody has to pay for it

I wouldnt mind if we had to pay proper prices for things except for the fact that we still have poor infrastructure in this country, bad health care which my taxes pay for use by nontax paying persons and of course a corrupt government

[equipped2ripp]

i don't mind the increase in the gas price... not everything is for free... people spending $ on the wrong things in this country, gas isn't one of them.

as for me, i'm not bothered... diesel all the way

somebody give this man a bale of Peach Skin Rayon and call him PM!!!

[Hexxx]

They raise the premium gas prices so more ppl would change over to CNG. Ent they remove the custom's duty and VAT on CNG, and they say they going to make the CNG kits and service stations more accessible?

CNG is cheaper than diesel right now also, and it is not possible to change a diesel engine to a CNG. I not too sure it makes sense running to get a 4x4 diesel, especially considering they raise the motor vehicle tax per CC rating by $5, cause when they raise the diesel price when they ready the diesel ppl go be more than screwed!

[r3iXmann]

we were in a state where nobody thinks about how much gas they spend and now you just have to think about it now

i do..which is why it's irking me

they will not raise the price of diesel... they simply can't.

increase in price of diesel = increased price in transportation costs = increase in EVERYTHING

[Amit]

PPL what you think now gas price went up , food and every other items will go up
taxi price will rise , because in some areasd ph taxi is all that they got
i see some one say lawn service will go up, true

every thing high in this country, food, crime, gas, the only thing low is your pay

Pug, a large portion of our wealth is derived from our energy sector. In order for the Government to spread the wealth it must come in the form of subsidies. Now depending on where you put you subsidies determines where you will spreadthe wealth or remove it.

It appears to me that yes they may need to restrain motor vehicle users and that is probably why they have done this. But realistically all the cars are already on the roads. I would love to see people park their cars and take a maxi, who knows? If it works then they have suceeded. But on the same note while deterring motor users at least ensure an efficient road system.

Short term I think this will hurt our economy very badly, unless as I said people use public transport or the Government offsets it with another subsidy like food or something.

[Amit]

you honestly think some ppl would want to park and travel with all this crime and they not doing any thing about it.

[Mark Divr]

i done start to travel bout a month now...and have meh 2.7L gas hilux surf ..home pickin up dust....but i wondering if i can...(this is jus an idea ehh!))
