Greetings to all the fuel-conscious consumers out there! In today’s scoop, we delve into the hearts of engines and the wallets of drivers, as we discuss a sizzling hot topic that’s been igniting opinions all over social media. The pursuit of fair play has reached the fuel industry, where every drop counts and the noble Deputy Prime Minister and Energy Minister Pirapan Salirathavibhaga has leaped into action with a legislative zeal worthy of applause.
If you’ve been cruising the information highway, you might have run across a certain TikTok sensation, Ritdech Daengpradit, who, with the tenacity of a modern-day Sherlock Holmes, uncovered a mystery at a PTT petrol station in Saraburi. Picture this: Ritdech expected a cavalcade of fuel, precisely five litres, corresponding perfectly with the digits that danced off his credit card. And yet, when he played the role of a scientist, his measuring escapade revealed a curious case of the missing millilitres – not once, but twice!
Now, Mr. Ritdech was not about to let this slide into the forgotten fathoms of the fuel tank; no, he demanded answers. Why, oh why, did his petrol purchase fall short of perfection? Enter the dynamic Deputy Prime Minister Pirapan, a man not content with resting on his laurels, who took to the social media stage to declare a crackdown on this liquid larceny.
Our venerable Deputy Prime Minister unearthed a rather peculiar piece of legislation, overlooked by many, carelessly permissive of a 1% fluctuation in fuel – a tiny window through which some petrol providers gleefully jumped, pilfering up to 50 millilitres more or less than what the good consumers paid for. “Unacceptable!” cries the Deputy Prime Minister.
His solution? A gallant overhaul of the Fuel Trade Act. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, he’s launching a legislative makeover that promises to patch up those pesky loopholes and ensure that when you pay for a river of refreshment for your ravenous ride, every drop will be accounted for.
In solidarity with our cause, let me tell you about Somjit Nguikai, a rubber farmer from Prachuap Khiri Khan, whose gallon dreams were dashed to 4.5 litres when he expected nothing less than the full five. This valiant agrarian took his plea to the provincial commerce office, standing shoulder to shoulder with every driver who’s ever felt the sting of the pump deceiving their pockets.
The march towards fuel fairness is on, and with Deputy Prime Minister Pirapan brandishing his legislative sword, we edge ever closer to that fuel utopia, where every cent is sacred, and every millilitre matters. So buckle up, dear readers, and keep your tanks—and hopes—full, for change is on the horizon.
