Pisces69 6th Gear January 13, 2010 Share January 13, 2010 no lah..now is RM$ 2.15 i think.... =========== If only RM2.15/Lit then its not much more than the 97 I pump now. So maybe I also consider VPower to b safe. Otherwise kenna RM100,000 fine wil b like . So MY sell premium petrol at only RM2.15/lit & this is without any gharmen subsidy. How come SG VPower is so much more expensive????? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acieed 1st Gear January 14, 2010 Share January 14, 2010 Its not S$4 in Thailand, but still more expensive than SG, around S$2+ for RON 95 Benzene Gasoline. You don't find it much in Thailand since a few years ago, most stations only have E10 Gasohol which is a 10% alcohol mix, and costs cheaper, S$1+. bro... seriously... the cost of petrol in our nearby countries even higher... like in Thai n Phillipines its more than S$4 per liter... i think...

Acieed 1st Gear January 14, 2010 Share January 14, 2010 Because MY has their own oil rigs and oil reserve. Most other countries in the world import oil, like Singapore, Thailand, China, Europe, everywhere etc. In Brunei, its even cheaper than MY. =========== If only RM2.15/Lit then its not much more than the 97 I pump now.

Dwoon 1st Gear January 14, 2010 Share January 14, 2010 Not overlook the fine, since they never even pull you aside to check. But pull a long face and see lor...... your choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwoon 1st Gear January 14, 2010 Share January 14, 2010 Last I was there in phuket, about half year ago, it costs like 38 bahts per litre of 95 Gasohol. If you pump full tank, that's about 1500 bahts.... your Jazz rental so expensive ah? I pay 900 bahts/day Anyway, I never ever pump full even though I usually rent for a week. Why give back un-used fuel to the rental company as they won't be refunding you any. I pump about 300 bahts per top up, then do it again when fuel warning lights up again. Then if its only the next day I'm returning the car, I'll put in only 100 bahts which is just sufficient to bring the car back. opps... sorry i meant RM$4.00 up... not Sg$.. i rented a jazz in Phuket... pump full tank and it cost the same as one day rental... in Thailand also a lot of GNG cars...

(like a smaller char tu chaik in bamgkok...) visited the giant buddah.. visited all the beaches both sides of the island... quiet fun... holiday mood no need to work damn shiok... haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwoon 1st Gear January 15, 2010 Share January 15, 2010 Mai Khao rooms are exactly the same (including furnishings) to Phuket Beach club. (also newer). But environment is not the same..... Phuket Beach Club faces the garden and has a more tropical feel to it whereas Mai Khao has a more modern touch. Plugne pool no big deal... had it half year ago. Its rather filthy if ask me. Got heaps of dead insects every night and sometimes bird droppings. Cannot do courtyard lah..... family man and need the extra space rather than just a room. This'll probably be my last time in Phuket for a long while..... very sian of it already..... if it wasn't for this freebie which I got (signed more points), I'd not want to go.
