Gas not lasting as long since fuel raised?

Diesel tax?

Can you elaborate on that tax.

For the last 5 months I using a premium / non diesel and checking the mileage I clocked, I would've needed 2 full oil changes and stuff with my diesel van compared to this xv. Considering premium fuel to diesel pricing and service costs it really opened my eyes to how real the diesel tax does hit the pocket yes.

Running costs of a properly maintained diesel here is much more than the average petrol car in my experience. I talking working 7days a week doing at least 800kms each week.

Even at many car wash places they charge u more for a van compared to a car. Why? Van has more flat panels and easier wash procedure to me. Being straight out of school with a y11 drop low, rims, music and constant fibreglass flare kit fixing when I started my grind. Switched to a stock d40 and the diesel maintenance every 5000 - 6500kms is near double the cost compared to prior. (Oils, 2 fuel filters etc)

I used to keep track when I had the time, it adds up. That's why I'll always envy those 2.7gas Hilux lol.

yup, diesel only made sense because the fuel was dirt cheap
Diesel pickups have higher maintenance costs, and their fuel mileage is horrible

the subsidy was abused. the diesel price outside is generally higher

[MG Man]

correct...diesel was subsidized to facilitate affordable commercial transoport

[zoom rader]

Yeah for Caricom nations in the diesel Sea Lots racket by PNM gang members

One of whom, allegedly, is a big radio owner and big time water man.

So who benefitted under Tantie Kams from the diesel racket?

This was long before UNC was ever born. Their operation was up and running in the late 1980s

Ah go rest this here

In which book prices going to fall at the pumps in T&T.

Never happen.

But when oil reaches US$100.00 / barrel and gas reaches US$5.00/mmbtu, let me see what is going to happen.

[bamfo_dennis]

Since when the price of anything in Trinidad ever goes down? The prices will not reflect real lows of prices on the global market, they will just continue to rise above a fixed point (give or take a few cents fluctuation) by the new gas station mafia.

Correct is right.

But Impsbert said there will be no gas station mafia. He said the 1% will not be able to take over a batch of gas stations.

Ole people (OP) tell us that way way back in the day Gov't T&T had " a negative black list "..

Anybody here can tell Tuners what was life like in those old time days ?

What was the price of gas etc etc ?

Come on OP tell us !

[bluefete]

Yuh mean when gas was 0.25c a gallon and pitch oil (kerosene) was 0.10c per gallon?

Life was much simpler then. No set of foreign fast food businesses. The negative list allowed for growth and consumption of local foods.

We had Texaco, Esso, Shell and BP as gas stations.

We used to get Bermudez vanilla cookies and milk in primary school for free. We used to take the biscuits and make chillibibi with it.

Sounds like good days

So how T&T reach in this MC situation NOW ?

And who was in power and control in THOSE days ?


BTW an OP just tell say " Red Solo was 10 cents and Hops and Cheese 10 cents "

So what happen ?

[bluefete]

What happened? We became independent, via PNM, and started to do away with the best that the British left us and kept the worse.

We had a train service that reached far areas of the country. Zoom wrote about this already. Williams ( and the 1%) decided it was too expensive and wanted more buses on the road. Well, you see the wisdom of that idea today.

We had a revolution in 1970 that changed the social fabric of the country, for the better in most cases.

Then 20 years later, we had an attempted coup, the price of which we are still paying in 2021.

Cost of living and basic prices went up.

Compare the prices of good when PNM came into office in 2015 to now.

We are now in a Covid era where global prices on basic foods have increased.

We are technologically more advanced but treat each other like rats.

Brace your self for more increases when the gasoline subsidy is removed in July/August 2021.

Give me the old time days any day.

Zoom? You mean you? Since one person use the same account (yours and ZR).

But in any case, I agree with the rest of your post.
