(Kimblery B. Esmores)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The CNMI saw its second fuel increase of 2022 less than two weeks since the last, with fuel prices up by another 15 cents.<\/p>\n<p>Around 3:30pm yesterday afternoon, Mobil Oil Marianas led the way with a 15-cent increase. <\/p>\n<p>Mobil\u2019s Extra fuel went up from $ 4.96 a gallon to $5.11. Mobil also hiked its Supreme fuel from $5.41 to $5.56 a gallon while its diesel increased from $5.23 a gallon to $5.38. <\/p>\n<p>Shell Marianas has yet to increase its prices as of 5pm press time but both oil companies typically mirror each other\u2019s price changes, so Shell is expected to impose the same increase today.<\/p>\n<p>According to an 18-year-old motorist, he believes this is only the beginning and that fuel prices will only increase from here. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure we\u2019ll see another increase before the month\u2019s end. Fuel prices are increasing everywhere, not just here. It\u2019s going to get higher before we see another rollback,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Another motorist, a 54-year-old male, said the year has just begun and the CNMI can\u2019t catch a break with these back-to-back increases. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is ridiculous. We can\u2019t catch a break. We\u2019re seeing gas increase every two weeks. That\u2019s insane. People are barely making it in this economy and gas is just continuously increasing? It\u2019s not right,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CNMI saw its second fuel increase of 2022 less than two weeks since the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":360034,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-360032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/360032","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=360032"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/360032\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/360034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=360032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=360032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=360032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
