diesel fast approaching the price of gasoline

[GlennSter]

supply and demand lang yan..dumarami ang demand sa diesel.eh saan ba gawa ang diesel?diba sa pinaggawaan ng gasoline?CMIIW.

i dont think ma-pha-phase out ang jeepneys if ever man mas mataas na ang diesel sa gas..sa dami ba ng commuters dito eh..malamang fare hike ang sagot ng mga jeepney operators..no choice eh.. and the commuters too have little choice to make..

malamang nga hindi ma phase out ang jeepney dahil sa presyo ng diesel (if and when) na mas mataas pa sa gas.. but doesn't it make sense for a jeepney operator (who has capital or who can borrow capital) to shift to gas engines pag nakita niya na mas kikita siya in the long run?

even the govt may see this trend and open up a special credit facility (through banks or other financial institutions) for the affected sector para lang makatulong to keep transport fares to a minimum...

fyi lang... the govt (well at least some financial institutions) have a lot of money to lend out to SMEs.. billion billion ang perang pwedeng ipahiram... hassle lang nga kasi daming requirements para lang maka avail... so who ends up borrowing from them? the commercial banks and the bigger banks... hinihiram ng mga banko sa govt at a low low rate.. then ipapa utang sa mga clients nila at a much much higher rate..

teka OT na naman ako...

honestly speaking if the diesel price would match with that of the gasoline, bibili nalang ako ng isang sasakyan that runs in diesel and isa pa that runs in gasoline...

[cowboytuna]

napansin ko din un halos magpantay n sila kahapon... i really hope na wag nmn sana kc buses, cargo trucks and jeepneys uses diesel engines... wawa na nman mga pinoy... dagdag pasanin na naman..

Diesel fuel is actually more expensive both here in the US and Canada - i was thinking, well, its supply and demand - but in the case of Philippines, i dont know.

[mbt]

not necessarily, diesels are inherently more fuel-efficient than gasoline engines, sometimes significantly so, so it's not a hard-and-fast conclusion

[oldblue]

yun ba nagpapadumi ng mga center islands, sidewalks. yun ba kahit pinturahan ng dilaw or pink (MMDA) after a week, kulay putik na. caused ba ito ng diesel.

if so, okey na yun maging parehas ang presyo nila, baka sakali luminis na ang P'nas.

Been burning oil since day 1. More miles to go.

[nugundam93]

come to think of it, even if diesel price equals gas, mas tipid pa rin ang diesel engine...

[KCboy]

diesel in the phil is less expensive kasi diesels are are less refined.....diesels are now cheaper in canada now, although sometimes gas is cheaper dahil sa flactuations in prices. diesel in canada kasi stable ang price unlike gas na taas baba.

just think of it this way, kahit same ang price ng diesel sa gas, u still get more kilometers per liter sa diesel than gas so wag namagalit n mataranta.....pag masmataas na diesel sa gas....dun tayo magalit.

[notEworthy27]

in my opinion, diesel parin ako. yung fuel : mileage ratio better parin sa diesel. kahit na sabihin mo tumaas pa. kaso pagdumating yung time na yung ratio sobrang laki na ng difference and mas makakatipid na sa gas. bibili na lang ako ng isa pang tsikot, :D

[av8or5]

hmmm..for me..i like gas fed cars better. It's more quiet, more responsive, less vibration, and i am not ashamed of it's tail pipes. Take out the factor of mileage per liter, gas na ako. (sana hindi ako marinig ng trooper ko or else mag tampo sya and masira..heheheh )

[Mojo]

diesel ako
diesel mas lesser ang toxic gases

sobrang reliable ang diesel, wala na ignition system, basta naka crank na ang engine, tuloy tuloy na.

umaabot ng 1million km ang buhay ng diesel engine, sa gas, around 250k to 500k km lang.

[nugundam93]

oh noes!!!!!11!

fence-sitter nako tuloy. i miss the quietness and quick response of gas engines, but i miss also the strong pull ng diesel and tipid mileage. hehehe...
