ayos nalipat na dito

hindi ba sa off topic toh dapat? heehee

it'll be more helpful sa pinas if you do what the author is suggesting...
that's one of the trait of us filipinos, ayaw magkaisa. i believe there's no harm in the article if you'll be more perceptive and inituitive (di lang sa F2L).

DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggestcompanies SHELL and CALTEX and PETRON.

edited na ito ah, yung na-receive ko dati Shell and Caltex lang dumagdag ang Petron hihihi

sometimes i just dont get it.

arent the gas price increases actually a no-choice move by gas sellers?

i mean, they're not the ones producing gas.

gas companies are big companies simply because everyone needs gas, not because their products are expensive.

the US itself is in a crisis.

our gas isnt more expensive than theirs (correct me if im wrong)

simply put, the oil companies that produces oils are to blame i think. some have stopped their productions, some have worker strikes.



well, imo the only way we can replenish our pockets is that we do not rely on gas so much, forever. i mean, not just for the mean time to let the gas prices go down, but i do mean forever.

the current rate of oil consumption will surely deplete the natural resources this tiny planet has, in no time at all.

i do not know if its true, but my dad says people, especially in the US, must still rely on oil from the arab nations, if not, no money goes to the middle east countries and there could be trouble.



anyway, my 2 cents. but heck i wanna ask, why IS the gas prices increasing, in your opinions?

Exactly what I had in mind Sir Bryan. I was just waiting for someone to say it for me. Thank you.

Shell, Petron, Caltex and what not are just vendors. They do not have control over their prices. The law restricts them from doing so. They can only put "patong"/ mark-up to a certain extent, beyond that margin it'll rain lawsuits and rocks. As a matter of fact, minimal lang ang patong nila. If oil producing companies sell it to them at YY.xx per liter, they can only add so much. Just enough to sustain their company. Parang sa cube, may taxes, transportation expenses etc... Nobody in the right mind would like to operate a business that was created to fail. In other words, walang negosyante ang magnenegosyo ng palugi.

Okay. Eto muna ngayon. Kakain lang ako.
"POST UNDER CONSTRUCTION"

If you don't know, gas here in the US reaches $4. Do the math, our car can take 12 gallons of fuel.

Sad to say we're unfortunate that the purchasing power of the Php vs US$ is as we put it 1:40.. so a 1:4 price of petroleum here to the prices in the US is still, in my opinion pricey for the average Juan De la Cruz compared to Uncle Sam.. don't u think?
i think this dpendence on fossil fuels'll end when let's see..
1. they're all used up & the atmosphere's all heat up.. (we're doomed! )
2. re-"industrialization" using alternative fuel
3. cold fusion is readily available
4.. blah! blah!
ang mabuting gawin ngayon.. ligo nlg tayo sa dagat! whehe.. Ciao!

If you think that boycott on these companies - Shell, Caltex, and Petron - think again. If oil prices goes down, we'll stop the boycott and then they again increase prices, then we perform againg a boycott, and they lower their prices......blah blah It's a cycle.
Moreover, there's something we call a cartel - an organization of different oil companies that agree on prices they would offer...
Let's put it this way: For example the cartel consisting of Shell, Caltex and Petron agreed a price level of P50/liter (it includes each company's profits). Any amount beyong the agreed price shall be divided among members.

If SHELL offers 51/liter.
PETRON offers 53/liter.
And CALTEX offers 55/liter.

The total excess of P9.00 shall be divided among these companies
according to their agreement. UNFORTUNATELY, we don't know who the members of the cartel are (because it's a secret organization).

Let's just make way for evolution, anyway. I agree with benjediman. Let us not depend on gas forever. PEACE!

The gas in US is now $4?!

Sayang lang yung invention nung isang pinoy na gamit ng car as gas is water. Kung may support lang sana sa government edi sana naminimize, kahit papaano, ung gas crisis sa pinas. Howeverm I think the government don't have any other choice cause if they do support that inventor, the world bank will not anymore lend us money. Pero today the Philippine government is into producing natural gas...
