In the recent budget our finance minister Colm Imbert made the announcement that effective immediately Super gasoline has increased by almost 25%! From $3.97 to $4.97 per litre.
Given that most of us here at Shyft use Super Gas, we began to think about the cost implications. How much less money will we have in our wallets every year? So we sat down decided to crunch some numbers.
Our super savvy finance sales team member Veera got to work.
- An average vehicle (Tuscon, Sentra, Grand Vitara etc.) in Trinidad has 55 litres of gasoline.
- That means it used to cost you $218.00 to fill up at the pump. Now it will cost you $273.00
- On average, given our “great roads” (cue funny commentary) and depending how much you drive or if you use you’re A/C, you have to fill up gas between 2 – 4 times each month. We assumed, a fill up amount of 3 times a month for the average Trini driving to work less than 40km each day.
That means if you are an average driver you will spend $9,928 on gas this coming year. But, last year your bill would have been $7,848. That is an increase of $2,200 a year. Think about that for a second. Your salary most likely won’t increase, food prices are going up and you are now out of pocket an extra $2,200 a year.
Now how can you get this money back? A simple and proven technique is by saving on car insurance …. No we don’t mean to simply stop buying car insurance (that would be illegal and quite frankly foolish). However, we suggest shopping around to make sure you are getting the best deal on your car insurance.
