Following a 20-cent increase just three weeks ago, the CNMI was given a nice surprise in the form to a 10-cent reduction in prices over the weekend. <\/p>\n
Local oil companies like Mobil Oil Marianas and Shell Marianas now charge $5.21 per gallon of regular fuel, from $5.31. Meanwhile Supreme fuel has gone down from $5.76 per gallon while diesel dropped from $6.18 per gallon to $5.88. <\/p>\n
According to local motorists, they were gladly surprised as a reduction in prices is always better nothing. <\/p>\n
An 18-year-old female who just recently started driving said she was so happy to pull up to the pump to see that fuel prices had gone down. \u201cI don\u2019t use the car often but when I do, I have to gas it and it can be pricey, especially since I just started my part-time job. But I was so happy to see the gas went down again, that\u2019s a few cents less for gas,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
Another motorist, a 49-year-old mother of three, said she\u2019s always happy to see gas price rollbacks. \u201cIt may seem like a few cents to some, but I always welcome fuel rollbacks because I have to drop and pick up my kids everywhere. It makes a great difference for me,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
A 52-year-old motorist humorously said his wallet is \u201ca little happier now.\u201d \u201cI drive a truck and sometimes I don\u2019t even want to go out because of gas prices. When I hear that gas went down again, I always think \u2018my wallet is going to be a little happier\u2019 because I can save a few cents,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
