[shake d livin wake d dead]

As long as the prices are pegged on the international market we can expect increases

Diesel is still subsidized and maybe super by a few cents.

Fuel is a consumable so they will be wanting to apply VAT to fuel soon as well.

lol it should already have VAT man

and I was wondering about the fact that if the pump price is now linked to international prices, that when international prices go up pump price would go up. But then if international prices go up so does govt revenue which means at some point they should then be able to afford a small subsidy, just not the huge one we had before but give citizen a break from yet another increase in cost of living. I say cap it (the pump price) when oil over US$55.

Really it already have VAT factored into the price? Did'nt know that!

Anyways we need to learn to be competitive with the rest of the world. These subsides does only cause people to be inefficient, lazy and dependent. If Grenadians could pay the market price for gas then so can Trini's.
Get off your lazy tails and innovate, figure out ways to increase your earning power so you can pay for what things are actually worth and in the end it will benefit the society as a whole.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

so what would be the new price of super and diesel?

[Redman]

The stated goal is to remove the subsidy.
Therefore we will be paying close to international prices.

How we would be taxed is the question.

What would it take to introduce bio fuel like e85 in Trinidad....... We already so good with making and sucking alcohol, why can't we drive alcohol ?

But then again, a drunk Subaru ain't sounding too bad plus gas might be cheaper to buy ....... Premium expensive

[drchaos]

Most E10 is RON 94 (cause they want you to spend the extra money on premium)
E15 has lots of problems with separating of the alco, water and gas.

If you want to run E85 you should get a Flex fuel vehicle.

[boosted_wrx]

Are there any e85 agents locally ?

I doh see what's the issue...people should not be surprised by these moves...

Yes, one of the few proper moves made thus far by Salty and Crew, although I maintain that our public transport system needs a thorough overhaul first. This doesn't mean rapid rail, or any other unaffordable projects, but simple bus, road improvement, decentralising of P.O.S. etc.

Not really surprised but more like disappointed, all the commodities just keep going up and less cash to flow around while those who have money just keep getting more and more while the other men who trying to make a living just have no work/ business............ Maybe we vote for a fair government each time but we just seem to be the people choosing who to get shaft by, after all we be the ones feeling the hard times
