I am enraged! I am in shock! I am in trouble...

Are there cheaper fuels than kero out there? or will I just have to work harder to spin with fire?

The last time I bought kerosene a couple of months ago, it was about Php 26ish($.46) a liter, now its Php 32 ($.60)... and I don't know if that seems much to you guys, but over here it's a bit of a shock. Considering we used to be able to buy 5 liters of kero and spin all night with what it would have cost us to buy a big mac meal. Now I pay the same amount for a little over 3. And the prices are still rising...

*sigh* This bites...

Ha! Wish I could get it that cheap! The best I've found is 4l for £4 - that's $1.77 per litre! But my sources are fairly limited.. still!

What a wonderful miracle if only we could look through each other's eyes for an instant.

ours is around AUD $1.60 per litre at the pump, in bottles its up to $2.50/L in some places.

Everything's dependant on oil, thats the problem...

It's all a matter of perspective really... We don't have first world buying power so things here *appear* cheap until you start making local wage. Having said that, I'm pretty sure I'd just faint if I had to buy fuel from your stations.

I'm not really angry, more like shocked at how quickly prices can rise. Never really experienced anything that dramatic (well, the peso dropped significantly some years ago...)

I also realize that this isn't the most environmentally friendly way to do things. So now I spin fire for special occassions, and stick to whatever else have you when I'm just passing time.

*sheepish grin* After reading your posts, my complaint seems to be a bit on the shallow side of things. Mental note: let the shock subside before posting rant... wink All's well biggrin
