snoop1130 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 BANGKOK (NNT) - According to the Department of Energy Business, fuel consumption in Thailand took a plunge of 4.4% in the first eight months of 2021 to a daily average of 131 million liters, compared to a daily average of 137 million liters last year. Demands for the major fuel types - diesel, petrol, jet fuel and compressed natural gas - all took a nosedive. However, demand for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) increased. Chief of the department, Nantika Thangsuphanich, said the restrictions on both air and land transport in the second and third quarters were the major causes for the decline. People were working from home due to the widespread coronavirus outbreak during which curfews were also imposed. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-10-06 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 No Surprise in the fact that the use of vehicles and transit have used less fuel with the lockdowns and such. I have noticed that with my driving and fueling the price for the to 95 fuel is a little ore than over a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oil and gas prices going up steep worldwide. French government intervening/regulating. More to come. Thai government doing the usual: capping Diesel price using funds from other fuels.
