LPG for vehicles price rise likely

The pump price of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for use by vehicles is likely to increase this weekend in line with the government's policy to float energy prices, Energy Minister Arak Chonlatanon said on Tuesday.

The Energy Policy Administration Committee will meet on Friday to consider the newf retail price. The regulator, meanwhile, agreed on Tuesday to cut the OIl Fund levy on all types of fuel by 0.20 baht a litre to maintain domestic retail prices at current levels as global oil prices have rose again.

Mr Arak said the retail price of LPG had been capped at 18.13 baht per kilogramme for a long time for household cooking use and for the transport sector.

    Cooking is essential,transport needs capping why not introduce a 2 tear price structure,Keep domestic down and let transport pay a realistic price.That in turn will help reduce ,dare I say it Global warming, and help us all,the roads are in a mess due to overweight vehicles using them, plus they were never designed to take such loads in the first place and it would make people think more efficiently.Not a hope in ,the hot place, I know but food for thought.
