Oil companies in the CNMI raised their prices yet again over the weekend by another 10 cents per gallon. <\/p>\n
According to a gas attendant at Mobil Oil Marianas, Mobil raised its prices early Friday morning. <\/p>\n
Mobil took the lead with a 10-cent increase. From $4.75 a gallon, Mobil Oil Marianas raised its Extra fuel price to $ 4.85 a gallon. Mobil also raised its Supreme fuel from $5.20 a gallon to $5.30 while its diesel also went up from $4.91 a gallon to $5.06.<\/p>\n
Shell Marianas raised its prices early the following morning, Saturday. <\/p>\n
According to a 28-year-old motorist, he no longer notices when gas prices go up and down. <\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t really notice anymore because prices go up like every month. It\u2019s not like we can just not put gas. They\u2019re capitalizing on something that\u2019s a necessity,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
His female companion echoed the sentiment, stating that it\u2019s just something that everyone is forced to deal with. \u201cAt this point, I feel like I should start biking. I work a part-time job, sometimes I have to decide whether to spend my last $5 bill on gas or on food for the day. Most of the time I choose gas because I need to apply for jobs. It\u2019s unfair. There is no choice,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
