    IOC and CPC taking their turns - expect the CPC's turn soon

    Calistus Jayatilleke Tuesday, 02 October 2012 08:40 AM

    One gets the feeling that this is a trick used by CPC that whenever they want to jack up prices, they get LIOC to do so first and then raise it themselves to fall in line. Then the chain reaction starts with bus operators, transporters etc. increasing their prices with the ultimate loser being the poor consumer.

    dont worry petrol price will too go up once we enter the t20 semi finals

    Fassey Tuesday, 02 October 2012 06:29 AM

    People are very busy with T20 so its the best time to increase the prices of commodity. The news will be passed unnoticed, as all are more concerned and interested in T20

    Eventhough price go higher I always use their diesel/petro as I am not sure what we get from CEYPETCO. I mean the low quality oil deals...

    Mohammed Hiraz Tuesday, 02 October 2012 03:18 AM

    again raise? then what next?

    Saman Tuesday, 02 October 2012 03:13 AM

    Forget the oil prices people, Sri Lanka are now in the semi-finals! So let us party! By the way, we should not forget that GOSL has been subsidising the oil price at a loss to protect the consumer for years! For a third world county with no proper tax system and with free education and health, it is hard to sustain these freebies in the the long run. Of course the dogs will bark as usual.

    Hooray, now the price hike in bus fares and the rest. Can Johnny explain if this is to safe guard local oil production.

    This increase in price make the ordinary citizen to suffer more,it is like the bull trampling the person who fell down from the tree.

    Ahmedh Monday, 01 October 2012 04:50 PM

    we are busy watching T20 ... don't have time to see all these...... :)

    Shankar Monday, 01 October 2012 04:26 PM

    IOC here is only for the purpose of Indian presence in the country. Rs 6 difference means, they do not want to sell the product. Waste of 100 filling stations in the country.

    Curious Monday, 01 October 2012 04:11 PM

    Look out for another Protest !

    Lanka Monday, 01 October 2012 03:46 PM
