    Which is what makes lead poisoning so dangerous. It can easily be misdiagnosed.

    I noticed yesterday the price of Fuel was 55 pesos per liter. I am sure last month it was only 44 pesos per liter so if that is right then a hell of a jump in price. I often take a peek on the way into the city (Dumaguete) each month to gauge prices here. I think if I do buy a vehicle here it will be a Diesel to avoid the Ethanol problems of stale fuel in the tank from lack of use, and Diesel is cheaper and more economical than gasoline so I think it would be a win-win situation overall.

    Unfortunately you're right. More wishful thinking here. It will of course only hit the poor.

    Look for another price increase next week. Hurricane Michael shut down a lot of production in the Gulf of Mexico.

    One nice thing here though is, all price increases and decreases if they ever come, always take affect on Tuesday, so if you know it it going up you can gas up before then if needed.

    How can you compare the cost of driving a diesel pickup with that of a small hatchback? Why not just compare it with driving a motorcycle too?

    Some of the cost increase is also due to the train law. It's going to go up more in the next two years, gasoline going up more than diesel;


    Excise Tax per Liter Current 2018 2019 2020
    LPG ₱0 ₱1.00 ₱2.00 ₱3.00
    Diesel ₱0 ₱2.50 ₱4.50 ₱6.00
    Regular and unleaded premium gasoline ₱4.35 ₱7.00 ₱9.00 ₱10.00

    Hopefully it also makes those people with oversize cars / pickups that are only ridden by one or two persons and with empty cargo area reconsider their choice of vehicle...

    Last month gasoline price was around 52 peso; never mind. Whether using diesel instead of gasoline to drive more economically, I have my doubts when comparing fuel consumption, it also depends on the kind of car. For instance a Nissan Navara Frontier (pick-up). With one liter of diesel I made 10 km. A hatchback, for instance a Mitsubishi Mirage, I can make 20 km on 1 liter gasoline average. So for a 100 km ride it takes 5 litres of gasoline = 225 peso against 10 litres of diesel = 480 peso.

    And this is the big pusher of the inflation. Costs more to run the boat engines for fishing, costs more to move vegetables from farm to market, costs more to transport products to stores all around the country whether by truck or ship. Hands up everyone who believes that these companies will just say, "Oh well, another cost we have to suck up and reduce our income". No, it gets passed on to the consumer eventually.
