but we're not all fed up are we? The current government has done an incredible job considering many countries have implemenented severe austerity measures (in other words huge tax increases and benefits cuts). The UK has announced a guaranteed 500,000 job losses in the civil service alone. Where are the Maltese equivalent? That's right it's not going to happen in Malta because there is no need due to excellent management of the local economy.

The Maltese have been some of the luckiest people in Europe in the last couple of years and they need to look beyong their own shores to see how fortunate they have been.

Are you serious? Int bis serjeta? So, if you don't use your car you just go and say that the fuel prices should increase drastically? So in my case, since i don't smoke , should I go around and say that cigarettes should double in price and gas cylinders also since I use my fireplace? And for your curiosity I don't have a 15k car but a family car worth 5k like the majority of us i presume. What a SELFISH human being !!! - description of sel-fish - devoted to or caring only for oneself; concerned primarily with one's own interests, benefits, welfare, etc., regardless of others.

V.Borg

Nov 1st 2010, 09:14

So mr C.Cassar looks like you go to work or around Malta by bus, by horse or by bike?

Do you think increase will effect the use of cars? This is like cigarettes, each year we have an additional but never have heard anyone stop because they are getting expensive ... so that is silly reasoning like many things we are hearing lately! Same reasoning using electric cars, but with the cost of electricity who can afford these? Maybe we invest in solarpanneled cars, makes everyone happy!!!!

What is needed in Malta is respect to the citizens.... just for your information most of the unnecessary driving is due to the bad service and scheduling of the public transport. As you seem to be very knowledgeable on prices and fuel of vehicles, i invite you to get a comparison price list of the price of fuel in Europe compared to those of Malta. As regards to the €15000 prices, it would cost much less wasn't it for the current Taxes imposed on motor vehicles, meanwhile I encourage you to come out with a figure or percentage of the number of cars valued at €15000 out of the present 300,000 vehicles roaming on the Maltese roads. Please do not include the GM plated luxury cars in your statistics. Ma ndahhkux aktar... ilna 20 sena nghoxew bid-dahk u ma nifilhux nidhku aktar....

Charles Callus

Nov 1st 2010, 09:31

Isn't it the government itself that was saying that we need to buy new cars to scrap the old bangers in order to help the environment?

Define "unnecessary driving". Do you mean the ones that need to deliver food stuffs, gas, bread, stone, concrete etc every morning? Do you think that they can use the public transport or a bicycle or push bike like you obviously do? Do you think that with the recent increase in tax, the price of food will stay at the present levels for long?

I think that before you come and advocate an increase of €1.00 you should really consider the ramifications.

The only selfish ones are those that are bemoaning a single Euro cent price increase. These are the same people who constantly moan about the poor air quality in Malta which has proven to be caused primarily by vehicle pollution.

As usual in Malta, non of the locals wants to lift a finger to improve anything - it's always someone elses job, the authorities, the government - never themselves.

If the Maltese want to remain at the bottom of the pit in europe they are doing a very good job.

Ah you are so intelligent Mr Cassar why not in the next election challenge to get a golden seat in parlament, maybe you'll be our saviour and would change our bad habits with your NEW ideas!

We shall follow who leads by example ...

C Cassar

Nov 1st 2010, 11:33

Well, at least I made an effort. I sold my car and only rent one when I need to. This eliminated the on the spur of the moment short journeys which are the unecessary and most polluting. The amount of walking I do has increased 1000s% and so my fitness has also improved.

Also, before someone comes on here moaning "what about the old, ill etc", those people make up the minority. School children still get collected by specila buses whose coast is always bemoaned by the parents. Well, simple solution, the kids can walk to school and back. A good 45min walk in teh morning and another in the evening will do wonders to get them out of their obese ways.

So, yes I do try to lead by example, so who's going to join me?

Mela ahna l-konsumaturi se nhallsu dirett ghal ghali tal-fuel meta mmorru nimlew il-karozza, u se nhallsu nergghu ghal gholi reiflessi f'hafna mill-prodotti u servizzi li nixtru. Il-fuel mhuwiex kumdita' imma huwa bzonn u gholi ta' 1c (meta diga ghollieh bi 3c +VAT dazju bla raguni) dan se jgholli l-hajja aktar. Dan jghidulu r-ripple effect. Il-paga taghna ma tiflahx iktar tiggebbed u z-zieda mizera li taghna mhux ilu li hadhomna!!

@ Joseph E Briffa:

Your comment doesn't make sense. Shorter distances does not mean less consumption. Consider Malta as a crowded city where there are more cars then eligilble drivers, and you have to drive, stop, drive, stop, turn left, than right, then left, bla bla bla... and change gears all the time and drive with low gears. Driving on low gears and accelerating consumes more fuel.

Abroad long distances are covered by highways where you drive between 110 and 130kmh (depending on the country's speed limits). That means keeping the car on top gear which consumes less fuel per kilometer.

If you're going to answer by saying that even abroad there's traffic in cities, you're right. But then you can use a faster alternative by using ring-roads (which are highways that go around the city).

The price of our fuel is tied to the price on the international market - I hope we can all agree that everyone should pay the correct cost of a product - so if the price goes up on the international market then it has to go up at the pump - on the very rare occasion that it does down in the market it goes down at the pump - How else can the price mechanism work?

I am not willing to subsidise either your large industrial plant or anyone else's small car - everyone has to pay the cost - there is NO ALTERNATIVE.

Victor Buttigieg the price went up by 4 cents because you have to add VAT to it. Now it has gone up again so it went up nearly 5c PER LITRE or 22c PER GALLON or 9c4m of the Malta Lira PER GALLON in less than a week. And the MISER SCROOGE only gave us €1.16 per week increase. MISER SCROOGE.

Paul Barrett

Oct 31st 2010, 18:04

The announced price for unleaded petrol at the last change (pre-budget) was Euro 1.19. The actual price I was charged was Euro 1.1928 per litre at the garage I use.

Liters delivered 30.6
Pump showed 119 per liter
Pump showed price of Euro 36.50.
A simple calculator shows that 30.6 * 1.19 = 36.414 and therefore an overcharge of .086 cents. (In round numbers a nine cents overcharge).

I do not know if this is an isolated mistake, an isolated garage rip-off, an Enemalta rip-off or a Government authorised charge, All I know is that the officially announced price and the pump price differed from the price charged to the customer. Individually not a big deal but over the thousands of liters sold, a considerable hidden income to someone.

Does anyone actually officially check the prices of the quantity delivered against the price charged and indeed I wonder what the actual pump price will be this time around.

The rise is 1 EURO cent per litre. My car's tank holds 60 litres so it's 60 cents more to fill up a tank. I know it's not tremendous but consider this: I started driving since February 2010 and price for diesel back then was 0.98EUR per litre. In less than a year, the price risen by 14c. That sums up to 8.40 EUROS MORE to fill my car's tank! And that's in less than a year!
