Jerry, I see your point. I think the key thing is share. You might not benefit but a family member or friend might.

What I have done is to plan my purchases and in that way I am able to pick up cheaper(not necessarily the cheapest) as a I journey around Kingston and when I was out of town regularly a few years back.

On the week-ends, the heroes station stations are usually empty though and I have made a few purchases them.

It is really going to be interesting when it hit $100 mark regularly. I suspect you are going to see 105.1 instead of 105.10.

This is indeed a brilliant idea as its a pain when you stop to get gas somewhere and then of course murphy’s law…the next gas station you come to has it cheaper. However the other issue I think is sometimes its just not worth the effort to drive across town…to wait in a line for 30mins (heroes circle total) to save a few dollars.

I guess at that point its a judgment call…Funny thing though the other day I went to country and of course most gas station price display are built to to accept only 00.00 four digits LOL gas over $100 really kick started the creativity.

We really need to focus more on long term consequences rather than immediate benefits. Despite increases in the SCT associated with the sale of vehicles and possibly later the revenue earned from the tax on petrol, what are the substantial benefits that we can think of? There are already many challenges owing to the number of vehicles on our roads. Commuting to and from work is little short of a nightmare for many persons. Let’s not add to that the condition of the roads that we drive on. Maybe my views are the result of my inability to understand these situations from the vantage point of a layperson. However, I strongly believe that if some kind of SWOT analysis should be conducted, then the results would not be in favour of this initiative.

I feel it most for the residents of Portmore who do not have a real alternative.

It is ironic that Portmore get the highest increase on the Toll and one has to wonder if Politics has reared its ugly head here. It is time the Government of Jamaica stop playing Politics and start looking out for the citizens of this beautiful country. Portmore has the most Teachers, Police Officers and other Civil Servants who the Government is asking to hold constraint yet they are facing increases left, right and center. I pray that God will show our leaders that they should care. I would like to introduce a Jamaican Proverbs site with you and your readers http://wisejamaican.com.
