Constant Weekend Rise at the Gas Pump

[tidus1203]

OT: Thats part of life. Pero mahal din gastos nila dun mas mura nga ng konti gas nila pero ang mahal ng bahay at renta doon. Not to mention pati food mahal din doon compared to us. Probably for me if gas goes up to P60 I am definitely going to start commuting maybe 3X a week then use the car 2X a week....

OT na din.

Tidus is correct. Mas mura ang gas nila dun. In fact, my parents just arrived from NY last week. Cost is around $ 3/gallon or roughly around Php 31.50/liter. Mura din ang house because of the mortgage crisis that they are experiencing there wherein there are lots of houses that are for disposal.

sabi nga ni Hillary Clinton kung market forces lang sana eh dapat $55-56/barrel lang. Mga oil traders (who sit and trade in front of their computers) and speculators ang may influence sa prices.

And to top it all, dami galit (according to CNN) sa mga record profits ng Shell, BP, etc ..

^^ Mas mura parin bahay dito sa Pilipinas. Dito makakabili ka na ng matinong bahay for P5M roughly $120,000. Wala kang mabibiling matinong bahay for that amount even though their housing bubble has popped unless sa mga provinces ka bibili yung mga Idaho, Montana etc...

thats true, prices in the US are more than here... yung gas lang talaga ang prob dito.

i think tidus idea is ok rin, yung alternate use of cars and public transportation. at least fridays and weekends para kung may gimik after work... your not using public transportation during the wee hours of the night.

ang taas na talaga ng gas ngayon, to think before the cost per liter is around php 25 tapos ngayon ibang klase yung pagtaas.... parang its a true sign that the resources are getting scare.

[shadow]

either way wala tayong magagawa mga developing country (3rd rate) kung tumaas ang dollars apektado pa rin tayo, fuel prices will not go down dahil dollarrs din ang pagbili ng mga oil cos dito..so no choice talaga but to use public transport more..hehehe

[[archie]]

^^ agree... wala na talaga tayo magagawa sa prices ng gas. kialangan na talaga ng use of pubic transport.

[meledson]

Kung wala sanang bad trip na traffic, di lalaki ang consumo natin sa gas.

Hirap gumising ng super aga para makapasok na wala pang traffic.

may suggestion ako para makatipid ng malaki pero madami aangal dito sa tsikot, bawas-bawasan na muna mga EB, fun runs at track days joke

[Galactus]

speculating talaga yan mga oil companies na yan. nag-depreciate ang peso nagtaas sila pero nun nag-appreciate ang peso, di sila nagtaas

obvious naman kumbakit nagtataas mga oil companies locally, bec DEMAND IS LOW!
bakasyun eh, what can you expect? no student commuters therefore less PUVs on the road, less PUV on the roads, no Traffic!

and also no classes, therefore no baon, therefore no panggastos sa malls, therefore wala gano delivery and importation. alam naman natin it's the age bracket 15-28 ang nagpapagalaw ng Malls.

sa private motorists naman, halos 30% of private car owners are abroad or in vacation kaya hindi nagagamit tsikot nila.
sobrang magpang-isa mga executives ng mga oil players na yan. masyadong opportunista, product kasi ng rebel 60's and 70's kaya walang pakelam.

i wouldn't be surprised pagdating ng June baba ang presyo bec. volume is high na eh

This must be a new form of economic theory. From what I learned, the law of supply and demand is the exact opposite: Prices are high when there is a lot of demand for a particular product, and stays low when there is no market for it. Baka iba ang economic theories at kalakaran sa mundo ni Ringo.

Ringo, is your "hollow-earth theory" patented already? You should publish your ideas asap, so people would know how hopelessly ignorant you are!, este, so more people can be enlightened (me lets out a loud guffaw).

[tidus1203]

Bago nga yan ah. Prices are rising cause dmand is low

[tidus1203]

oo nga naman, basics ng economics yun ha? weird na balikad.

[uls]

iba talaga world view ni ringostarr...

---------------

kahit sabihin natin mahina ang demand dito sa Pinas...

Nakasalalay ba sa Pinas ang oil price?

sinasabi ba sa news "Oil hit $120 a barrel in futures trading due to low crude stockpiles in the Philippines" ???

"Oil hit a record high of $120 a barrel today due to strong demand from the Philippines because of the summer driving season, analysts say"

hahahaha

The Philippines is soooooo damn small even if we do not buy oil for a whole year, it wouldnt affect oil price.

The US, Japan, China, India... anyone of them can easily absorb what we don't buy.

The oil companies are helpless too.

They buy oil from producers.

The producers themselves cannot set oil price.

They can only increase or decrease supply, which affects the price of oil.

si bush may kasalanan ng lahat! war freak at sugapa sa langis! kaya hindi rin nila maiwan agad ang iraq kasi malaki na puhunan nila dun. kaya next target din nila ang iran. its also the reason kung bakit di nila tinira ang north korea kahit confirmed ang WMD nila. wala naman kasing oil ang nokor. haay sana eleksyon na sa US para mapalitan na ang presidente nila. ang layo na sa topic. hahaha. haka haka ko lang to ha. hindi ko pinagpipilitang totoo :D

actually i've been practicing the 2x a week commute for years now. mas matipid talaga sya. pero ok lang sya pag yung sasakyan mo is point to point at malapit lang ang mga sakayan. in my case kasi, yung sakayan ng van at fx walking distance lang from my home and office. pagbaba ko, office or bahay na agad. 1 ride lang kaya ok lang. mahirap pag 3-4 rides ka pa at agawan kada ride. dun mo ma aapreciate ang sariling sasakyan.

best na lang talaga is bawas lakad sa weekends at rush hours. pasok na lang tayo before 7am tapos tulog na lang sa office. and since medyo maaga pa naman at konti sasakyan pwedeng hindi mag aircon on the way. tiis na lang talaga.

kaya magpasalamat tayo sa color coding at no choice na hinde gamitin ng isang araw..hehehehe

oooppsss, wala palang kwenta ang coding sa most of the motorist dito kasama na ako at meron pang palit ng sa coding day....

[tidus1203]

^^Problema dyan (at least for me) is parking fee naman. The earlier I go in the more expensive my parking fee is... Damn ang mahal ng parking dito sa Makati... Mga Makati peeps san kayo nagpapark near the Greenbelt area??

[[archie]]

parang choosing the lesser evil...

pasok ng tama lang sa oras... mahal gas
