Fuel price increase

Our economy hasn’t fully recovered yet from the effects of the pandemic that even up to these days continue to threaten us but new challenges always come up by surprise. In times of war, violence, crises I think that we as ordinary citizens are the most affected. Last night, I saw long queues of vehicles in all gas stations I passed by. People want to gas up the last time before the considered highest increase of gasoline and other petroleum products here so far will take effect today. So what’s next to follow? I think it’s not impossible that the prices of commodities not just the basic would follow through. In photo is what I have for my afternoon snack.

Fuel prices here are $14.21/liter. Are your prices cheaper than that?

Lower than that but it's already higher here. If we have the same price, my goodness it's already sky high.

@ZedSmart We buy gas by the gallon, but it's $3.76/gallon multiplied by 3.78 to show price by liter of fuel.

@DaddyEvil I thought the 3.76 is divided by 4 to get the price per liter.

True the transport sector is the first to feel the effect of the oil crisis we are having due to the war in Ukraine. I think this will trickle down on other commodities and affect our purchasing power and hopefully, wages should follow suit to adjust to these drastic changes.

@ZedSmart That is true and it usually is the last to be adjusted when a crisis like this one happens.

If there's no salary or wage increase, this is very difficult to ordinary Juans to cover their needs with the increasing prices to follow soon.

We still maintain the price of $1 per liter but the prices of basic necessities can no longer be contained

That's good. However, we have no choice but to deal the price increase.

@cacay1 Do you think it's the war or it will still go up even if it's not happening right now?

That's true. It hits us all hard. The sad thing is we can't control the domino effect.
