Prices just went up again. Why…? Anyone knows the economics here and care to explain? Is it true that petrol price adjustments here follow that in Singapore? Why ain’t Thailand getting petrol from Malaysia where it is so cheap…? Or is the tax on this black oil just so high?

The conditions of having a car with prices of petrol here so high clearly does not match the purchasing capability of Thais drawing their lower then average income (compare to other countries) and yet we still see so many red plated cars added to the roads everyday. I don’t get it.
