Balinese friends have expressed concerns not only about the increase in the price per litre of petrol for their motorbikes and cars but about the flow on effect on everyday items such as rice
months ago when the increase was looming, but not yet in place, i talked to a driver about how much they would increase their prices by. i ignorantly thought that they could just work out the increase in the petrol portion of their tour price. however they said that as most other everyday items would increase it wasnt that straight forward.
as such there will probably be an inital price rise to tours to cover the petrol increase with a second price rise shortly after once the additional cost of everyday items is known. seems only fair to me.
thanks for the post CBB i had noticed a lack of posts about the petrol price increase too.
