Giving imbert the benefit of the doubt since the finance minister apparently isnt sure of what he read in parliament, all premium vehicle users should join together and file an injunction to allow for premium price to be reverted while its reviewed

[ingalook]

This is a tax on the middle class - plain and simple, a few of the "luxury cars" like BMWs and Audis need premium, but most can run fine on 91 RON (super is 92) or are deisel (like all the big Q7 an ting dem ministers already get tax breaks to buy)

The cars that NEED premium are the 09+ corolla, 1.5 lancer (2.0 is super), Swift sport etc. all cars that cost well below $200k (middle class cars)... I think there isn't much outcry because these drivers who cannot switch represent a fraction of the motoring public.

BUT... many people have switched, from premium which had a $.73 subsidy to super which has a $1.81 subsidy, and an economist as well as an auto-enthusiast this makes ZERO sense

The government is now spending more on the subsidy, a few are now paying double the price of super, some are mashing up their engines trying super - NO ONE WINS!

Mechanics win.

Not really... they have too much work as it is... and few new mechs coming on the scene...

Some small tanks there. Filled up from just below1/2 yesterday and took $190.

[Morpheus]

CY Lancer

WTH. How big is that tank? Anyway the CY is "huge" compared to previous generations. Tank should be bigger too

Manual says 59 litres. I also highly suspect that the halves are not necessarily halves. Even in my ole CS3 from 1/2 tank to F was more than 1/2 the stated capacity of the tank.

PP is a failure. Trinidad is one jokey country, its crazy. Only thing left to do is take everything in stride and wine wine wine wine/migrate.

RORO Y12 Wingroad here. Added $40 Super to a third tank of premium a lil while back. Sounds like windchimes under the bonnet when going up a hill and during the first engine tumble for the day.

What should I do? Avoid hills, bypass the first start of the day and go to the third, or swap the Nissan badges for Infiniti, since it's a government implied high end vehicle now?

[silent_riot]

Just buy premium yo.

[nervewrecker]

Man make an illegal U-turn and start to burn out on the road just so yes. Looked like he was doing donuts.
