Fuel Prices

[OnMyWay]

There is a lot in the news about fuel prices but I am not sure if I have seen anything about the PH prices.

I just filled my Trailblazer.  Diesel, 70.94 litres at 56.61 per L = 4016 pesos.  About $4.17 per gallon. $78.

There is one guy to thank for the rise in global fuel prices that started in January 2021.  And now the Ukraine situation is adding fuel to the fire.

That's really not that bad, about the same price as it is in Australia right now.  Traditionally Philippines fuel prices have been on the cheaper side for Asia but they're pretty much on par now.

I forgot to put that it was diesel.  Hawaii is always among the highest.

It is all relative to past prices.  It wasn't that long ago I was paying 25 pesos a litre.

I just looked here:

California is higher than Hawaii, which is ridiculous, considering the logistics.  It is all taxes, which they then flush down the toilet on projects like a bullet train from the South boondocks to the North boondocks.

Yeah... but there is nowhere to drive to so not as painful.

We are up to CAD$1.80 per liter.  That is 72.7 pesos per liter.  We WISH we only paid 56.6

Diesel is 53.9 pesos per L here in Western Washington. Prices have gone up since the regime change.

Building back better!  The fuel prices I mean.  Better for the oil companies.

You are still lucky.

In Sweden we pay 115 pesos/liter right now for the diesel, most of it is taxes of course

Subic might be higher.  When I moved here 10 years ago, Subic Bay Freeport had lower prices than the rest of Luzon.  Now they have higher prices.  We have a few discount stations, but my Trailblazer had issues when I used the cheap diesel.
