Low supplies of fuel lead to long queues at service stations

Some fuel stations were no longer able to sell petrol starting at noon on 10 November, and the people had to queue for fuel, Ko Tun Naing, a taxi driver from South Okkalapa Township told the GNLM.
“When the petrol prices fall, we can’t buy them. If the price goes up, we get the fuel. The fuel price dropped about K20 recently and we cannot buy it. If the digital boxes that display the fuel prices at the filling stations are unplugged, that means… we can’t buy the petrol. But we need to queue at the stations where we can buy the fuel,” he said.
Although long queues of motorists formed at petrol stations on the morning of 11 November, the shops were reselling in the same afternoon, said Ko Min Oo, a private car owner.
On 11 November, the prices were K2,060 per litre of 92, K2,160 per litre of 95, K2,195 per litre of diesel and K2,315 per litre of premium diesel, according to the gas stations. — TWA/KTZH
