Energy Minister Piyasvasti Amranand will discuss the proposed ban on octane-95 petrol with the National Energy Policy Board today, following complaints from consumers who do not want to switch to gasohol.

He said the ban was different from the government's scrapping of leaded petrol some years ago. On that occasion, all auto-makers had confirmed the compatibility of all models with unleaded petrol. But with the proposed ban on sales of octane-95, not all auto-makers had confirmed that their vehicles would run on gasohol.

Piyasvasti said his other urgent priorities included revising laws, drafting laws to govern the energy sector, and preparing for the court hearing on PTT Plc's privatisation.

Oh well.......TIT......

Hmm...could it be that once the freak show was kicked out of power, clearer Thai heads of government are looking at various govt. proposals and asking in Thai, "<deleted>?" Maybe countless proposals were being shoved down the throats of unwilling citizens in order for TRT cronies to receive graft, commissions, more power, etc. Or, the plans were related to elections.

Maybe there's hope, after all.
