Gas prices in Trinidad & Tobago

[Blaze d Chalice]

Is time to wean the people off the governmunt.

[Redress10]

Whether you pay the subsidy at the pump or the Government pay the subsidy you are still paying for it regardless.

You rather the subsidy reach all the way to 5-10 billion dollars depending on the price of oil on the international market? Why not just regulate fuel use yourself? Subsidies create wastage. Might as well save that same subsidy money and divert it into creating a world class public transport system and further wein ppl off private car expenses.

But at this point, it makes no sense to subsidise things when trinis take those savings and spend them on frivolous expenses that do nothing to further our economy and productivity? If trinis were taking subsidy savings and banking it and reinvesting it etc then the economy benefits. But if they just drinking, smoking or feteing then away it not making sense at this point.

At the end of the day, taxpayers deserve the best use of their tax dollars to ensure they benefit. Some can't be benefiting at the expense of others. Let them find away to subsidise public transportation costs and to an extent goods transport costs and let private individuals regulate how much fuel they willing to use and pay for.

Let "h" cars pay a lower price for fuel and maintain taxi fees and let us see now how many "ph" cars will really remain when they paying higher fuel costs but can't charge more fees legally etc.

Is time to wean the government off the ppl.

What does the government actually produce at this point? Atleast with communism and socialism you have factories etc but what exactly is gov't producing if everything is subsidised?

Going Tobago, ferry subsidised and plane subsidised. This country even wants to make money or make sense at this point?

Now we talking…

The rape rate would also reduce with less people pulling the bull.

Gas today is almost USD $5/gallon

So,
$5 x 6.7993 =TTD $34/gal, ÷ 3.78 l/g= TTD $8.994/l, call it $9.00 flat. And that $9/l have room to move upwards without warning depending on supply availability, and since we no longer have petrotrin we can't even produce a fraction of what fuel we use and have no control or choice but to pay what the global market calls for.

Now, consider that prices in this lil mud hole does defy the laws of physics in that when ting goes up it stays up, and that a $1 increase in fuel = a $2 increase in taxi fare and practically everything else, and understand this.

If dem jackass allyuh call leaders have their way to implement their mindless ideas about liberalization of the energy sector and fuel retailers setting their own margins, more than half of allyuh dead, and the rest of allyuh would only be able to wish allyuh could afford to ketch allyuh arse.

Great is d pee-on-dem

Maybe a work from home policy needs to be permanently implemented by the public service and private sector as well too so as to save on fuel consumption of people having to drive to work every single day.

[hover11]

When the law passing for gas station owners to set their own prices....why the government bracing that?

[pugboy]

for real, let them ph become proper taxi drivers with proper insurance

Let "h" cars pay a lower price for fuel and maintain taxi fees and let us see now how many "ph" cars will really remain when they paying higher fuel costs but can't charge more fees legally etc.

[pugboy]

it was supposed to be ready for early this year

That would make sense but to paraphrase Duane point, is the corruption that frigging things up. Won't take much for man to siphon gas from their tank and have some black market action going.

[st7]

if taxis using electric cars... their rates will go down?

[eliteauto]

if taxis using electric cars... their rates will go down?

Not at the price of electric cars

[MaxPower]

if taxis using electric cars... their rates will go down?

Do prices ever go down for anything?

Work out how much to fill up a Tiida dey for me

Currently, a Tiida tank from empty costs TTD $220 to fill.
If they selling at prices similar to the US, that would go up to TTD $396 an increase of $176.

With those kinds of fuel prices, EVs and hybrids would become the best option for personal vehicles, but the prices for them would skyrocket due to demand, leaving many without an alternative.

[MaxPower]

Wow

[Country_Bookie]

How come government never looks to remove this "subsidy" when oil prices drop to $40 & $50 / barrel. Prices always go up because of price increases internationally..... but never seem to go down when prices fall on the international markets.

At the height of the pandemic, oil prices were less than $30 / barrel. How come gas prices went down everywhere in the world except Trinidad?

[daring dragoon]

how we all forgot the fork up and murder of the diver by paira management. just so after that we hear gas going up, flour going up, water going up, covid is an endemic and everything open back up including your children lives being put at risk after doing everything possible for 2 years to not get covid. we all must find something else to occupy our small mind and forget about the 4 murdered divers. bet you not one drop of gas , water etc increase in price.

ask if it goes up now and in a few month gas prices drop will prices go back down.

Cost of electricity went up, cost of gas is continuing to go up, cost of groceries is going up, cost of fast food has gone up. The only thing that hasn’t gone up is the paycheck of ppl that worked through covid.

When your house is paid for, you have a side business making more than your government job, got back all your swindled money, and caddying for the Minister of Finance, none of that matters.

hybrids are the better option as EVs are priced only for the upper middle class and higher. so why they doh take off the taxes on that? if they do that then the prices wont have to raise much - those cars are not scarce any longer
