avelanch Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Watching TFC this morning, and apparently the highest gas price is 1.10 Pesos per litre: that's a whopping 3 canadian cents per litre... 11.36 cents per gallon for the americans on the board... I want to know how they can possibly have such cheap gas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Philippines Price per gallon of gasoline: $4.87 Rank by most expensive gas: 43 Rank by pain at the pump: 3 The Philippines is transitioning to a manufacturing and services economy from one based primarily on agriculture. Demand for cheap energy is high. Wages aren't. Filipinos' pain at the pump is partly offset by an unconventional energy resource available to their economy. The country is the world's second-biggest producer of geothermal energy after the U.S., according to the International Geothermal Association. The island nation of 95 million people and 7,100 islands uses this natural energy source for about 17 percent of the country's energy needs. The average daily income is $7.11. The share of a day's wages needed to buy a gallon of gas is 69 percent. The average daily consumption is 0.03 gallon, the fourth-lowest after India, Pakistan and Turkey. http://www.bloomberg.com/slideshow/2013-02-13/highest-cheapest-gas-prices-by-country.html#slide44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 well the filipino news showed this morning that gas was 1.10P per litre as the highest in Manila, so I have no clue where bloomberg's numbers are coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 It averages about P60/litre in the PI. No idea what news you're watching. I trust Bloomberg's numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hudson bay rules Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 no, the on screen graphic said 1.01P per gallon, so that part she didn't alter. I wonder if it was talking about natural gas prices and she just missed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
