So, I went to fill at the gas station this morning. Drew for the white nozzle premium fuel. Attendants, pedestrians other patrons and even cars went silent as I began filling my car. All eyes on me seemingly counting the minutes I filled using 95. Not a whisper in the Unipet station. You could hear the pump dispensing my fuel only. Think at the end of my refueling someone even cheered.

Well that's how it felt at least.

why you always on pios for jed?

We all know anytime something affects him we dont hear the end of it here.
Remember when he bought a pioneer deck and blew the pico fuses? Since then we know him for saying 'pioneer is sh!t' and 'buy ah alpine', never heard the end of it.

The way some ppl complaining in here you swear that when they drill all that comes out is high quality gasoline and not petroleum that needs someone to pay for exploration, production, refining and distribution. Even if the Oil is our patrimony we have to pay for all the work that goes into getting it and then processing it.

And even if it is our patrimony we should still make the best economic use of it.

Most people's grouse is that they are attempting to do away with a 4b subsidy, yet spending 58b in other areas, where there will be NO IMPROVEMENT.

Come next year, the health sector will still be sheit, the police force will still be sheit, the education system will still be sheit, roads/licensing will still be sheit, passport/id office will still be sheit etc etc.

The Government has no idea how to manage money properly, and is throwing it into a black hole year after year. At least with the fuel subsidy, every citizen gets a reprieve at the gas stations.

Quite a lot of the shiet you refer to is not the Government's fault but that of every individual of Trinidad and Tobago. How does the Government get people to take pride in their jobs and come to work everyday in the Public Sector and provide the service that should be provided? Merely throwing money at the probelmwouldn't work
The Government made Licensing, Customs and Police corrupt?
The government makes the doctors who take a RHA contract but then goes to a private institution to work during working hours?

We the people of T&T through collective responsibility has what it takes to move the country foward. But we all too selfish to ever do so.

I don't get it... What I'm I looking for?
and why d you have your fogs on? It's against our modern laws you know

Thank you Dizzy. I thought I alone felt that way. When Petrotrin workers strike every monday morning for more pay to sit on their ------ we just sit back and say nothing. All of this is included into th ecost pf producing the fuels that we purchase everyday.

I agree with teems.
Lead by example. When we have corrupt politicians, we have corrupt people.
We voted the government into place. It is up to them to develop and implement change.

I guess he put up the photo to show the fuel economy gauge (reading around 50mpg), which is the gauge at the bottom of the tachometer.

A few points:

- Not sure where this 4 billion figure come along, according to data presented earlier in this thread the average over the last 3 years that we have paid in gas subsidy was 1 billion

- Premium becomes unsubsidized at a price of $4.75... so these corolla drivers are now paying for the rest of us

- You'd be surprised just how high quality some of the crude we get out of the ground is, its known as "sweet crude" and looks as good as high quality 10w30 (we export this)

- We keep the crap crude and import more crap crude to refine... that is why your diesel vehicle smoking and yuh injectors and fuel filter always clogged

- Mysteriously the weekend of JOE-GUM (dais what I call it) the diesel quality improved so vehicles carrying dignitaries would not have any problems

budget debate. pp government so far well prepped on rowley's response

[pioneer]

The price can still go up despite the subsidy being removed.


I say cut minister's salary, they do nothing for plenty.

[streetbeastINC.]

removal from diesel and super next year
bread-30$ flour-60% increase/hardware items through the roof. transport civillian etc-

want to make the country money?? stop buying huge suvz for all ministers/ministries cut the mad salaries and allowances from the top- with some of the allowances/perks these ppl collect they dont touch salary.
stop serving excessive alco and food at all government functions---and many more steps.....

[DJ Q]

stop buying huge suvz for all ministers/ministries

At least 40 new police cars every year.
Enough buses parked up waiting to fix.

That alone could subsidize gas enough for it to be free.

[streetbeastINC.]

there is a new model pajero parked up in a ministry i visit, why? the brake seized... parked up for 6 months.....no worries...pcu prado fill position

[PariaMan]

I say we star a petition for no taxes on Hybrid vehicles.
No Extra Stations, No loss of power.Fewer visits to the gas Station.

also remember to cut all the deadweight from the public sector.

[DJ Q]

What upsets me is that these aren't Almeras we're talking about. Very very high end fully loaded vehicles that cost all of us money to watch them sit there and rot.

They could at least auction off old gov't cars to the public or something.

who enjoys the hi life at the hyatt? more than government/opposition and their freinds and families....on the treasuries expense
