Oil oracle predicts US$200 a barrel

[Higgsboson]

i live in Jee Bee.. no choice, i work in the north... S$6000 = RM$10++k

 

6k a day or a month? a month 6k is norm employee salary for most folks.

[Jl1500k]

By then CNG should getting popular and CNG tank should have improve and make it smaller and lighter to fit in all the car.

[Ahyoo2002]

1) Unless Hybrid inprove further with lower cost, if not it is not justify for such high price and the saving in FC is not that great (at least to me)

2) CNG is cheap now bc no tax, what if government want to tax? I understand CNG also increse price recently, not too sure how much is the increase.

3) Bio-diesel, also not so good to me as diesel road tax will kill us

You sure you want $200 oil?

 

Oil is almost the basic to everything, if it increase, many many other thing will also increase,.

 

The inflation will be sky high if oil hit $200

another sad article

 

Think oil prices hurt now? Just wait

[Yaoxing]

wahh... I not even $6k a month.... means I'm a low income earner le....

[Ahyoo2002]

All these will affect spending in US and eventually we will be affected.

 

So, I really can not understand, are these people know what they said when they said oil hit $200 is good

[Nighthawkcity]

Hi, just curious to know, on what basis do you justify that 6k is a norm salary for most folks? Is it just your own claims/deduction or you work in singapore stat board?

[UncleWolve]

5K is norm..

[Higgsboson]

The question to ask is is it within our control? If not, then either one can don't drive his vehicle or adapt to the increase in gas price. In other words, if the increase in price is gradual, there will not be drastic effect on main street real economy no doubt the pain of inflation and higher gas/food price will make some suffer.

There is no such thing as a "norm" when it comes to salary imo. How do one define what is norm and what is below/above the norm? Its too broad a range to justify. Diff income group got diff "norms" that is.

Baseline...

 

i.e. if u take an average (not of the entire population) but taking into account the educational opportunities available in singapore and salary range of most organization ....

 

i would say a Uni grad in his 30's will be around there...

it really depends on how u position urself. if u r smart, u can make $$ out of it. 危机

This one I agree with you

U might laugh now but very soon u will be like us but worse. I like to see how much your govt will subsidise in future oil prices.

 

Ppl will need to buy more fuel cos compared to S'pore, M'sia land mass is big. Unlike S'porean & Thai drivers u got no next door country to buy cheaper fuel.

 

Compare what ppl earn vs the % spent on fuel. I think ppl in M'sia dun fare any better dan ppl living in S'pore.

 

Ppl in M'sia dun have a choice of public transport. Unless u live in the city but dan most of your $$ will go to expensive accomodation.

 

Everyone driving in the world will feel the pinch. Only u will be laughing at non other dan yourself.

 

Ytday's newspaper reported the PM saying they will not be increasing the subsidies petrol costs any time soon. Instead they will focus on preventing "abuse".

 

I think they meant those coming from from spore & thailand bah.

[Yaloryalor]

my current petrol is 1200, if really $3 then will just take mrt, since staying in town

 

4 min to city hall

$1,200 is really a lot! Either you travel a lot or your driving big car with poor FC !
