Just a question...if all subsidy has been removed from premium...but subsidy still on super...and the government is encouraging people to switch to super...which means the demand for super now goes up...which means more super would have to be produced...

Is that really gonna help reduce the debt?

[SR]

the subsidy on super is going to be reduced as well................

[pioneer]

This we know...

[Dizzy28]

Made my 1st fill up at the new price..$299

[pugboy]

that would be in an ideal world, where govts spend money wisely, don't allow tiefing by party financiers, provide proper health care etc.

we are far from ideal, but we been getting away with it for a long long time in this sweet country.

if one were to think carefully,
the only other thing people have really bitched about paying was their cable bill when the companies merged and became foreign owned and had to pay the proper legal rates.
when last anybody complain about their electricity or wasa bill ?

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.

[Dizzy28]

^The subsidized WASA and TTEC bills?

[ztune]

I don't get it... What I'm I looking for?

exactly what rowley was saying.....

[ingalook]

I don't know why people supporting this dotishness?

Yuh have to be a special brand of chupid to raise the price of a product and make less money... my form 4 econ students would have said "look at the elasticity of demand for premium" before they raise the price.

I'll ask the question again - who benefits from this decision?

- Increase in the fuel subsidy (less money for government to spend)
- Increase in transport cost
- Increased maintenance cost to motorist who make the switch
- Increased cost to motorist who dont't
- Increased frustration and confusion among the public
- Increased distribution cost per unit of premium (infrastructural cost spread over less consumers who now use premium)
- Increased the relative operational cost of supposedly budget cars that NEED premium

The government have accomplish one amazing thing here, they have made a decision that benefits NO ONE!
