I thought they increased it in the past to allow for the cushion. Why do these people continue to lie to Ghanaians?

November 7th cannot come fast enough

I think it is about time Ghanaians started buying donkeys, camels, and horses. In about 2 years when the price of oil goes up, only politicians can drive in cars.

When the price of fuel dropped to €30 per barrel they kept mute not to tell Ghanaians but once it's going up a bit see what they are doing to their own people? Ndc so evil and criminals.

WHAT SORT OF ROBBERY OF THE PEOPLE IS THAT ...PER THE ADJUSTMENT FORMULA...PRICES ARE DETERMINED BY THE MARKET TREND AND FLUCTUATIONS - MEANING GHANAIANS GET REDUCTION OF FUEL PRICES WHEN THE WORLD MARKET PRICES OF CRUDE OIL GOES DOWN (PLUS AOTHER FACTORS LIKE EXCHANGE RATE DOWND OR STABLE)...BUT THE OPPOSITE OCCURRED WHEN PRICES WENT DOWN AND DOWN WITH THEIR SO CALLED EXCHANGE STABILIZATION....PRICES/LEVIE/TAXES WENT UP AND CHOCKED THE PEOPLE!!!
THEN THE PRICES STARTED GOING UP AGAIN GRADUALLY AND PRICES ONCE AGAIN HAVE STARTED GOING UP MORE TO CHOKE THE CONSUMERS OF FUEL (WHICH AFFECTS EVERYBODY WITHIN THE ECONOMY)!!

I DON'T BLAME THEM (NDC GOVERNMENT/PETROLEUM CONSUMER REGULATORS) BUT THE STUPID STUPID GHANAIANS THAT ALLOWS THIS TO HAPPEN TO THEM AND ARE MORE WILLING TO VOTE AGAIN TO RETAIN THIS WICKED GOVERNMENT THAT IS CHOKING/STARVING TO DEATH!!!!

You are all fools.Why do you adjust prices upwards when there is an increase but do not reduce prices when it decreases at the world market.Nonsense.

When the prices fell to $30, how much relief was given to the Ghanaian consumers? When it went up $6.00 you are quickly raising the prices. Can't wait to get rid of these thieves who take Ghanaians for fools.

God will punish all those who contributed to the fuel increment. When the fuel prices go down at the world market it doesn't attract any reduction, however a slight increase attracts increment.

Ghana indeed is an interesting country.When oil prices are going down in the world market we increase the prices of our products.When prices are going up also we increase our own.What kind of game is this government playing with its citizens?That the ordinary man in his country should never feel happy?That Ghanaians should always suffer?

The NDC government is raising Eurobond and also travelling to secure loans for his campaign. He is going to use the same method he used in Talensi and Asankragwa. He has started renovating Ho stadium and building an airport there, too. He has sited one university at Asankragwa to bewitch the people to vote for him. From there, he will move to Brong and Northern Regions. I am appealing to all Ghanaians to vote out this good-for-nothing NDC Party.

THEY KNOW THAT SOME TRIBES WILL ALWAYS VOTE FOR THEM, SO THEY DON'T CARE A HOOT ABOUT ANYTHING. WAR-TORN COUNTRIES LIKE BURUNDI, IVORY COAST, ETHIOPIA, SUDAN, AND LIBERIA ARE SURPASSING US IN GOVERNANCE AND IN DEVELOPMENT. GHANA IS SICK. VAGABONDS ARE RULING GHANA NOW,

This is the highest price in any oil producing country in the world. It shows who we are as a country, or does it?

Ghanaians are indeed cowards, daft, meek, non-assertive, foolish, dumb, useless. because it is only in Ghana where such non sense can happen while we sit down and just pass comments without action. When petroleum price was 147 dollars per barrel on the international market, a gallon was sold for 5 cedis 30 pesewas in Ghana. Thes NDC crooks never let the government of the day rest because according to them, that price was too high. Today, a barrel of petrol sells for 40 dollars , a gallon of petrol is over 15 cedis in Ghana. All that Ghanaians can do is to lament for a few days and it is over. If we do not pour onto the street in a massive protest as happened in others countries whose citizens are brave, these selfish and uncaring politicians will always take us for a ride. I am not even surprised. poverty created by these same insensitive politicians has reduced most Ghanaians to the status of animals thereby unable to think. Let us start demonstrating,it is the only way.

Sadly. the parliament has been reduced to nothing more than a rubber stamp. NDC and NPP are more important than our national priorities. Every piece of legislation passes in the parliament, regardless of the mood or sentiments of majority of the populace . As the next elections loom, I will humbly ask of Ghanaian to critically assess the performance of the candidates, especially that of the incumbents, whether they deserve to be returned to parliament. These MP'S get free supply of gas , paid for by the poor tax payer ,so they don't feel the pinch when fuel prices go up. So far as they represent the majority party, they rubber stamp whatever the President and his cabinet send to parliament for approval. The minority will make so much noise but that will amount to nothing, Some democracy !!!!! So dear countrymen, so far as we continue voting along ethnic lines, and our MP'S continue to deliberate pass legislative agendas along party lines and refuse to vote their conscience, Ghana has a long way to go, and such arbitrary increases in fuel prices, will see no end.

I can"t believe this. We have good and able people in Ghana, who can help steer our country from this bad direction the Ndc and its thieving gangs are driving us to, but they seem unconcerned. We better act fast because tomorrow might be too late.When a person cries, it is not his or her eyes alone that sheds tears. The nose crys along with the eye. When the country fails all this political parties supporters( ndc,npp ,cpp,qqf,and etc) will all suffer.There be no exemptions. T H I N K!!!!!
