No fuel at any shed in Panadura today. Makes no difference if you increase the quota!!

Pumped fuel from Panadura today. IOC had all types. Others had 95. Just like you the 3 wheeler folk were with twisted faces! Because their main excuse for not reducing fares even after fuel was reduced more than 100/- a liter was that less quota. As for some commenting that sheds pump more than quota at a higher fee- I have got many times with absolutely no increased price.

No point Hon. Minister, the key issue is NOT the quota, the purchasing power. The demand has gone low!
