THERE HAD ALSO BEEN A PRICE HIKE TWO DAYS EARLIER
After the end of the Eşel Mobil System and the update made to Special Consumption Tax (ÖTV), fuel prices increased. On November 1, gasoline had been raised by 4.15 TL, diesel by 3.60 TL, and LPG by 1.45 TL. Thus, the liter price of gasoline exceeded 83 TL in some provinces, and the liter price of diesel exceeded 103 TL.
'I'LL HAVE A CYLINDER INSTALLED ON THE MOTORCYCLE'
After the hikes, Sefa Efe Yazgan, who said he was considering having an LPG system installed on his motorcycle, stated that he had started looking for alternative fuel and said, 'I will have a cylinder installed on the motorcycle; it uses a lot of fuel. I mean, at least the cylinder is cheaper. Since the cylinder is cheaper, we will have it installed, I mean. If we switch to diesel, that will get a hike too. If we switch to gasoline, that will get a hike too. We are switching to LPG, and it is getting a hike too. I guess I no longer know what we will do. We will try running it on water or something. Everything is getting a hike.'
Yunus Karagöz, on the other hand, stated that the hikes affected everyone and said, 'It affects everyone. It affects all the poor people, everyone, I mean. It will find it, it will reach 150, I mean. If we have started being fleeced like this, it will find it, I mean. I mean, I think the queues are a bit of nonsense, I think. Everyone is piling on. Right now, no one is coming or going. Everyone who drives is already driving. Even if the car has already bought one tank, it will inevitably have to buy another on the second tank. I think it is wrong. I bought 200 TL worth.'
'I'M BUYING IT WITH THE MONEY I HAVE LEFT RIGHT NOW'
Batuhan Taşer, stating that fuel hikes were financially straining him, used the expressions, 'It affects me extremely badly, I mean. We are experiencing financial difficulties, you know. Extremely. For LPG, of course, it should have been much lower in my opinion. LPG applies to diesel. Because transportation is an important factor in our lives. Speaking for myself, I am having a very hard time, I mean. Right now I am buying with the money I have left.'
Mehmet Ali Demirbaş also stated that economic conditions were putting pressure on citizens and said that developments around the world were effective in fuel prices.
Demirbaş said, 'Well, may what is best be in our minds. The economy, of course, is not easy in general. Living conditions force people inevitably. May what is best be in our minds again. Of course, we cannot predict this. Events in the world. Of course, we cannot use our own resources when it comes to fuel. We use a small amount. America's, Iran's, Israel's positions are of course important in these situations. Frankly, it does not look like a good situation for the future. But of course, we are believing people, we are Muslims after all. Inshallah, we say, may what is best happen for us. We say how much worse can it get. We will see, inshallah, we will see by living.'
'IT AFFECTS EVERYONE'
Ali Gürgür, on the other hand, stated that the increase in LPG prices would bring a serious burden on citizens' budgets and said, 'There is nothing to do; we have gotten used to it, I mean. There is nothing we can do. A 10-lira hike on 40 liras' worth of gas really affects not only minimum-wage earners but even regular wage earners, I mean. It affects everyone. It affects everything from the needle to the thread.'
