In the recent weeks I have noticed fuel checks is very consistant in Tuas.

The past 5 visit, 4 times was stopped for check. Luckily I am good boy, 3/4 tank always.

by the way.

97 is like less than 80cents/L in JB now.

Hypothetically speaking, there are great savings for me as my fuel tank is 70 litres.

Singapore: 65L x $2.39/L (Esso 8000) x 16% discount = $130.94
Malaysia: 65L x RM1.61/L = $34.19 (1 SGD = 3.06 MYR)
Deduct tolls about $10
Distance ~ 50km to and fro petrol about $10
I still save about $76

Car wash + vacuum in SG: $19
Car wash + vacuum in MY: RM10 ($3.27)

Total savings: $92/week

I haven't actually pumped in Malaysia yet due to concerns that the Euro grades are lower than SG and will damage my car

70 litres of petrol a week is a lot of driving, unless you are driving a Hummer. Lol

You need to add time stuck in jams. Plus you are going in empty. Get caught once. Can pay for  4 tanks in Sg? 
maybe you have some magic formula when to not get caught.

I wish I could afford a hummer.
Before CB, 1 tank can last about 7-8 days on average with 500km driving range

4 tanks? The penalty is about $500 you mean?
I mostly drive across the border for staycation/road trip and leave SG with more than 3/4 tank (Just in case) 

Please share some magic formula with me 🙂

If we provide business to the retail there, do we qualify as business travellers?

All else fails, I just say @Jamesc is my boss.  I go check on his shop there.

Business traveller probably means you need a letter of certification or endorsement by a Malaysian registered company.
