Ever since diesel capped at 30, they sure are making up for it in the other petrols.

 

Aside from that increase, Jan 2021 to today, we use E85, and that's up 60% from last year.

Price 5 Oct 2021 of other fuels, when diesel capped at 30 baht ...

Despite prices for fuel spiralling out of control at the pumps due to the "military operation" in Ukraine the PM has kindly allowed Thais to continue using their cars.

Idiot.

Delivering happiness to the Thai people.........if one thing were to trigger a people's revolution it would be Thais not being allowed to drive their cars like in those ridiculous adverts on TV. 

Fording streams and scaling mountains in cars is inspirational enough for thai drivers.

Just be glad the ads don't show them in demolition derbies, street races, jumping curbs, driving on sidewalks, sailing through U-turns, sliding on wet pavement, flying off bridges, crashing into trees/poles/klongs/ditches/trailer trucks/pedestrians/motorcycles/storefronts/houses and each other.

 

Things could be much worse.

Policy of left hand doesn't agree with the right hand?

 

The Cabinet today 3/9/2022 is considering in part banning the use of diesel vehicles driven by air pollution.

 

Prayut: "We need to closely examine automobile engines, whether they are properly equipped with a pollution filtering system and whether the engines are in good condition. "

Sorry, that's not a thing in the Kingdom.

I see no problem in the comment drive your cars . This will result in more taxes paid 

Soon the situation will explode as the majority of the Thai population which is suffering from the Pandemic, resulting in low tourist numbers coupled with a large increase in pork prices and  now increasing the burden with high oil prices due to Putins desires 

I have seen the Thai baht fighting back which helps the situation .

Now beginning to falter .

Exciting times

I would love this to happen. All those agricultural utility vehicles off the road along with the dangerous idiots that drive them.

 

I pray to all Gods, monotheistic and polytheistic, to make this happen.

I can afford to , but many others ,with the price of daily necessities rising due to

inflation , the debt they already have , maybe they cannot,  fairly easy for most

people to purchase a car, it's the running costs that they fail to take into account.

Didn't do much for the PM 2.5 air quality here in Bangkok.  Air sucks from all of the construction and trucks.

Wot?

Not really spending but collecting less revenue off of diesel.  They lowered the taxes on diesel by 2 baht/liter a few weeks ago.
