Our country has one of the lowest gasoline prices in the world.

We are 120th from the country with the highest pump price (Uruguay $1.95/L). Only two dozen countries have lower prices than ours. And all those that have lower pump prices than ours are ALL oil-producing countries including Indonesia & Malaysia.

A lot more poorer nations (especially in Africa) have double of our gasoline prices.

Put it in perspective... we are a LOT better off than a lot more countries in the world.

Heck, try peeking out your car window in EDSA. Most of them only have a single passenger. Even in rich America, carpooling & commuting (in big cities) is the norm.

We produce only a minimal amount of oil... less than 10K barrels / day.

While we import around 350K barrels / day of oil.

so...its still not for mass-consumption...that's CNG right? that's odd, a couple of months ago they introduced CNG powered buses for public use.

kaya yata double dun kasi sa sobrang poor dun, lahat sila naglalakad ng lang.

eh dito lakas na nga demand coz of sobra dami PUV's, private-owned cars, add to that, the traffic and pedestrian problem. siguro tubo na sila.

palagay ko nga mas malakas pa din ang fuel consumption ng buong Bayan ng Maynila compared to L.A. + 3 other counties. considering na mas liit ang geographical area ng Maynila. imagine from Buendia to Intramuros (Roxas Blvd) it took me 45 min. eh dati yun U-turn scheme ni BF, nakakaya ko ng 10 min. lang yun.

just take Australia for example, gasoline dun sulit, assuming na P40/ltr din dun tatagal naman ng extra 3-4 days ang full tank nila. grabe dun lang ako nakakakita ng mga 2nd hand units for sale, mukhang brand new pa.

eliminate the inefficiencies in daily travel within Metro Manila, sulit yan near P40/ltr price na yan.

amen to that. no problem kung gas prices lang problema...kaya nga lang di ganun eh, add mo pa traffic, lubak-lubak na kalsada, carnapping/carjacking, un-educated drivers, kotong cops etc.... haynaku po!

oo. kung na-eliminate ang inefficiencies sa transport sector magiging matipid tayo sa gas. sana macontrol ang dami ng public utility vehicles na walang laman na bumabyahe.

The US consumes 20.5M barrels / day of oil.

The Philippines consumes only around 350K barrels / day.
