Langis sasampa sa P50 per litro

[RIKK03]

I paid almost $3 per gallon here in the Bay area. Some parts of the bay area like San Fran are pushing to almost $4..Damnnnnnnnnnn. I grounded my Explorer and use my beater corolla instead. What really sucks is, the Explorer is flex fuel meaning I can use ethanol (85) but only one station exists in Cal and that's in San Diego.

Oil tops $67 as US demand soars

The US thirst for gasoline and fears of a hurricane have pushed the oil market further into uncharted territory, with prices breaking the $67 mark on Friday.

Worldwide petrol and gasoline prices are at unprecedented levels.

US refinery stoppages have come just as car sales and demand hit highs, and amid persistant security fears.

In real terms, stripping out inflation, oil is well below the $80 a barrel on average for the year after the 1979 oil crisis.

But the average price this year more than $53 per barrel is higher in real terms than the level during the l973-4 first oil crisis.

aabot yung price ng gas to 37 to 38 pesos per liter. pero gagawin nila .50 centavos per week.

4 pesos pa daw kailangan nila bawiin, para di sila lugi sa present prices. so expect prices to hit 42 pesos per liter tumuntong ng 38 pesos at na implement na ang EVAT.

Bataan nuclear power plant di natuloy kasi under earthquake fault line daw.

Diba may inventor dito na ng invent na car that runs on water....totoo kaya ito....?

Pag naging totoo itong invention mamahal na yun water dito sa pinas...

Itanong natin sa author ng thread na ito.

what about coco bio-diesel?

nugundam, pareho pa din ang presyo ng langis sa US and Pinas. Kung aakyat ng PhP50 ang langis jan sa Pinas, paniguradong $3.63 na din ang 87 octane dito.

As of Aug. 14, PhP36/litre pa lang naman pala, akala ko PhP50 na.

As of yesterday, 87octane is $2.63/gal = PhP144 (4liters of 36each)

$2.63/gal = PhP144.65 * 55.00 rate

The "inflation" argument pisses me off. We dont give a F**k about the inflation rate in the year 74-75. Yan ang ginagamit na sandata ng mga hinayupak na oilers na yan eh. Kaya ang lakas ng loob magtaas ng langis. Lumalabas na utang na loob pa natin ngayon dahil dapat pala $80 per barrel na :swear: mga hayuf.

[ssaloon]

imposible na aabot sa P50/liter this year...

baka January 2006.

91 octane in California is as high as $3.21 as I type this message. ($12.84 per liter)


PhP70 na kung convert sa peso

[scarab]

baka January 2006.

...ganyan ang presyo sa HK when i was there a month ago (accdng to the cab driver). pero iba daw presyo for PUV from the privately owned ones.

hindi ba dapat yung computation mo fafa kards is $3.21 per gallon, or $0.8025 per liter, or P44.94 per liter in pesoses?

tama ka kapatid! :bwahaha:

Buti pa ang Europe hindi nag increase in last decade

This time of the year, $5.00/gal woo hooooooo

World running out of time for oil alternatives


PETTEN, Netherlands - The world could run out of time to develop cleaner alternatives to oil and other fossil fuels before depletion drives prices through the roof, a leading Dutch energy researcher said on Thursday.

Ton Hoff, manager of the Energy Research Center of the Netherlands, said it could take decades to make alternatives affordable to the point where they can be used widely, although high oil prices were already stimulating such research.

"If we run out of fossil fuels -- by the time the oil price hits 100 dollars or plus, people will be screaming for alternatives, but whether they will be available at that moment of time -- that's my biggest worry," Hoff said.

"That's why we need to use fossil fuels in a more efficient way to have some more time to develop these alternatives up to a level where the robustness is guaranteed and their price has come down ... This could take decades for some technologies."

Stubbornly high oil prices have renewed worldwide interest in sustainable energy sources, such as solar, wind and biomass as well as biofuels.

But the world currently covers just some two percent of its energy needs with renewables as high costs and mixed policy initiatives hinder a wide-spread usage.

"The high oil price makes people at least think about alternatives ... For us it's a definitely a stimulus to work even harder than before," Hoff said.

Lowering costs

ECN, one of Europe's leading energy research institutes, is working to improve or develop new technologies to boost efficiency and lower the costs of power production from wind, solar and biomass, he said.

ECN researchers are trying to raise the energy conversion efficiency of solar panels to above 20 percent from the current 17 percent, while reducing costs.

"In 10-15 years, I expect that solar energy conversion could be in competition with electricity produced from coal," Hoff said. He believes the Netherlands has the potential to cover a large part of its power needs with solar energy.

ECN is also researching to increase the size of wind power turbines from the 3 megawatt a turbine produces now to 5 or 6 MW. This could be done by raising the height to 100 meters from 70 now and enlarging wings span to 120 meters from 90, he said.

ECN is also part of the $225 million "Global Climate and Energy Project" led by the U.S. University of Stanford and financed by General Electric, Toyota, Schlumberger and ExxonMobil.

The project aims to crack new technologies on fuel cells, which make electricity from hydrogen and emit only water vapor, energy production from biomass and separation and storage of carbon dioxide (CO2). The greenhouse CO2 gas is released when burning fossil fuels and is blamed for global warming.

Under the project, ECN will develop a new type of membrane reactor, which will separate CO2 during the process of producing hydrogen from fossil fuels, Hoff said. The CO2 could later be stored by companies in depleted gas or oil fields.

Hoff and other researchers say a transition to the so-called hydrogen economy could take decades as the cost of building new hydrogen-burning cars and power plants and storing CO2 are huge.

To test hydrogen usage in real life, ECN is in talks with the northern Dutch island of Texel to install hydrogen-based facilities, which would supply electricity to homes and offices.

"The idea is to see the pitfalls, fix them ... and prepare for the future. My hopes are that this will stimulate the usage of this type of new technology because it is extremely important to have it in real life rather than in laboratories," Hoff said.

yup - malabo yan. unless tumama ng $90-$100 per barrel. medyo stable naman ang peso-dollar rate (bumaba lang ng konti dahil sa GMA scandal) pero nakakabawi na naman ngayon.

also, OPEC wouldn't allow oil prices to soar that high. that will only push the faster development of alternative fuel - making infrastructure & the actual cost viable against high fuel prices.

[nugundam93]

kainis nga eh, i was actually about to try mixing veggie oil with diesel, mas mahal pa siya per liter kesa diesel. oh well. heheh.

[ranod55]

not only in the philippines are suffering this oil crisis,maski d2 sa middle east eh tumaas din,di nga lang mataas tulad dyan sa atin,lahat naman ng bansa eh apektado-yung nga lang kawawa ang mga bansang mahirap at walang langis tulad natin...


hay buhay,dati wala kang sasakyan mahirap at problema sa pag-alis,pagpasok at pag punta sa mga importanteng lakad.ngayon may sasakayan kana problema parin sa mahal ng gasolina eh parang mahirap narin gamitin lagi ang saskyan,mas-mabuti pang mag commute...

25% increase this year in florida :swear:

oil closed on the Merc last night at almost $64 :swear:

[kaloi]

time to use my motorcycle again. magkano ba yung segway? i think i have to buy that para travel in style pa din.

musta na ung V8 natin hehe

[kaloi]

musta na ung V8 natin hehe

hahaha...i have no problem with my v8, i used the shell extra with 88+ octane rating lang na gas. very cheap pa rin. kaso nga lang iisa na lang ang meron nun dito at puro tricycle pa kumpetensya ko.
