ARGGGG!!!!! [pirate][mad]

 

"EXXONMOBIL is increasing its pump prices today, a week after competitors Caltex, Shell and BP did so.

 

Like the other oil companies, petrol at Esso and Mobil service stations now costs three cents more a litre, and diesel, two cents more a litre.

'We have held off increasing our pump prices as long as we could,' ExxonMobil said in a statement released yesterday. It gave the same reason as the others, blaming 'cost increases in internationally-traded motor gasoline and diesel'.

 

Caltex was the first to initiate a price hike last Tuesday. BP and Shell followed suit within two days.

 

This leaves Singapore Petroleum Company as the only company which has not increased its petrol prices.

 

Not only that, it is still offering a 10-per-cent petrol discount at its Bukit Timah station. "

let me know if you get improved mileage... then i will switch also. Now getting about 420-450 on 50 litres of petrol... some Corona i know get 500+ with that... their engine must be in very good condition. [:)] How much can u get out of a full tank now?

Yah, i will tell it to the whole world... and before i do that...as Shell to give me lifetime free petrol 1st!! I'm getting about averaging 530km for 50litres.... a fren of mine who drive a Corona also...can hit 600km for 50litres!! I've never hit that before. Yah, my engine is in very good condition. My average mileage/litre is about 10.something to 11.something per litre... so average about 11km/litre = 550km/50litre.... [:)]

Think yours can also... just need to send for some tuning... should be able to get better mileage.... anyone know any place that does good tuning? I went to this garage call N2CS... to do tuning.... quite good... my previous car & this current one was tuned by them..... but will cost about $200 plue to $300... including flushing your radiator..... and alot of other stuffs.... then... your mileage should improve...

Again, when i compare based on petrol costs, it is the same. see previous spreadsheet earlier on. Last week, on V-power, cost on km/l alone was lesser than the previous week when using RON98 petrol. This could be a SD error, so will monitor further. see u [sly]
