Subsidy for gasohol 95 will terminate year end

The Oil Fund will stop subsidizing the price of gasohol 95 after premium 95-octane gasoline is removed from the market at the end of this year.

Bangchak Petroleum Plc. president Anusorn Saengnimnuan (อนุสรณ์ แสงนิ่มนวล) said the price of gasohol 95 will increase after cancellation of the subsidy of 1.50 baht per litre.

Metta Banthoengsuk (เมตตา บันเทิงสุข) said gasohol 95 has been subsidized to attract users.

The subsidy for gasohol 95 will end at the end of this year but the money will be used to subsidize gasohol 91 instead, Mr. Metta said.

This is absolute madness!

91 is crap and makes your engines dirty, Gasohol has about as much power as a pint of cold p1ss and burns twice as fast.

Now they want to subsidise a 91 version of Gasohol...!!!

I wonder if the government office behind this owns a chain of mechanic shops, they're certainly going to be busy with all these engines exploding!

Once again Thailand out-does itself in the "lack of common sense" game!

Pure lunacy!

Time to buy that diesel pick up I've been thinking about and lose my beloved Toyota.
