2012/13 Budget - 44% increase in Premium gasoline

[kg494EJ-1]

All I can say is thanks, I am getting a traveling allowance increase, company pays for my gas all according to new prices $373.75 of it x2 times a week $747.50, x 4 weeks = $2990.00.
It may be enough to forgive for the statement she made where it would only affect high end vehicle owners (audi and bmw )around 6%, still cant stop laughing, but thanks PP will keep driving meh audi or meh high end civic or high end Impreza.

Sarcasm my friend

[Stephon.]

but then again it got people that put all the faith in the world at the dealers overseas thinking that companies in Trinidad import only fully loaded vehicles and then "take out" the sunroof and fog lights and electrical features (I am yet to see how this is possible) etc. And put an extreme markup on the vehicle, which isn't true at all.

I worked at a new car sales place that did that, it is true.
You didn't see a right turn lane being possible, you further wish to prove your ignorance?

Well I personally am still yet to see this happen, but there are a lot of false reports on companies wrt that subject

And what right turn?

yeah but their salary also comes in ₤

Well it makes sense that they didn't raise super and diesel:

Considering most cars run super and others/ commercial run diesel, if they raised those now all hell would break loose... although the hell may break loose in the coming years as they gradually remove the subsidy. As we already know ALL things will rise exponetially once Diesel rises to a high price... then Super of course would cause repercussions but not on the scale of Diesel.

Perhaps Government may consider somehow soaking up a small percentage in terms of subsidy ONLY for diesel just to help keep the major costs of travel and foodstuff down. But reality is in next year or two the premium's gonna rise more, the super definately is going to rise (I'm sure to about $4.50) and Diesel will be the wildcard.

[Grudge]

If you can pass the buck onto the next man, have some partners who are landlords, rent increase $500 dollars next month per tenant.

[aidan]

how come magically plenty gas stations out of premium? I doubt people went and full up after the budget!Is it that they hoarding the premium for tomorrow to sell at a higher price?

Literally 1 min after it was announced I carried one of my vehicles to full up, then I carried my next vehicle to full up lol.

Time getting hard yes time to tighten we belt and take it while we could get it at 4 dollars

[Redman]

What might happen is that where possible stations stop pumping premium.
or just minimize the volumes on hand
3%gross margin will not cover the realities of the cost of providing the service.

More people will buy super,justifying the reduction of premium offerings.

[sMASH]

like allyuh hear sumting different from me. the adjustments to the super and diesel are coming as well, just next year. they just made the premium now so that it would sound a lil robin hoodish. the delivery of the subsidy adjustments was a good public relations move.


i believe that the subsidies should be removed, but in stages, let the effects be taken in parts and absorbed slowly.

hopefully with the extra money from the subsidies, they would be able to fix the roads so that a straight road would not seem like a an obstacle course.

All this talk about the fuel subsidy and the burden it has on the economy is bull$hit,
all they have to do is reduce the cost of operations in petrotrin, make the cost of producing fuels less expensive, but the amount of bobol going on in there its a shame, everyone there turns a blind eye to it because they know the government will subsidize the product output of that top heavy place called petrotrin and that contributes to whats happening now

[Morpheus]

So...........my CK4 Lancer is "high end"?

(+98 on gas lid - so it even more "high end")






*sigh

Making Petrotrin efficient will not impact the subsidy. It will however reduce the drain on the consolidated fund.

The subsidy arises from the fact that the refiner is able to sell it's products at world prices.

Allowing TnT citizens the benefit of cheap fuel requires the govt to make the difference up to the refiner.

every thing else you said re Petrotrin is absofackinlutely true

[Garrett Inside]

Water meth injection system using water alone with super and a proper tune should be cheaper, safer and more powerful for everyday turbo cars instead of premium as an alternative.

Although truth be told I would not mind paying 5.75 for premium if the quality of the gas is better I.e. 100 octane or better. It would've been worth it.

also would any buisness men out there be willing to import ethanol (E85) as an alternative fuel, this will certainly be a viable alternative to race fuel and the now higher priced premium.

[pugboy]

this budget is really a farce, kamla trying to save face after section 34 and not piss off anybody

most ofthe premium car owners own a diesel pickup also so not much difference
plus they are usually company cars

if they really wanted to collect more money they should be taxing vices more
alcohol, cigarettes, casinos, cinema etc
