It is unbelievable… The government, which calls for discounts to the tradesmen and imposes the hikes on the intermediaries, continues to raise the fuel prices under its control daily. Even if the exchange rate decreases or increases, there are huge hikes in fuel prices. After the decline in dollar prices, all eyes were on the reduction in fuel prices, while the successive hikes started to hurt. And acting with justice is expected from the rulers of this country.
DISCOUNTS TO “SLIDING SCALE OF WAGES”, HIGH RISES TO CITIZEN
People's hands could not reach the market shelves. Basic food prices are now pronounced in three-digit numbers… The bazaar market is at a high price… The government officials, who complain about the price hikes together with the citizens, do not take their hands off the hike button at the same time.
As the exchange rates increase, the prices of energy items, especially fuel, increase as the foreign exchange decreases. The discounts that came after the dollar decreased from 18 Turkish Liras (TL) to 10 TL were not reflected to the citizens, but were transferred to the "Sliding Scale of Wage" (Esel Mobile System). While the discount expectations of the citizens continue, the gasoline price was increased by 68 cents in a surprising way the previous night.
FUEL WAS CHEAPER WHEN THE EXCHANGE RATE WAS HIGH
The dollar was 18 TL, gasoline and diesel were 11,50 TL…
The dollar is 13 TL, gasoline and diesel are 13,58 TL
After less than 24 hours after the surprise and terrible price hike, this time a huge hike of 61 kuruş for gasoline and 1 TL and 29 kuruş for diesel fuel are made. The interesting thing is that gasoline and diesel prices, which were at the level of 11 TL and 50 kuruş on the days when the dollar prices exceeded 18 TL, will be increased on 13,58 TL when the dollar decreases to the 13 TL band. Thus, while the liter price of gasoline increased by 1 TL and 21 kuruş in two days, with the latest price hikes that the liter price of gasoline and diesel fuel reach to the limit of 13,58 TL, the record for all time is broken.
