The price of VPower 97 has now been increased to RM2.70/litre.

VPower Racing has also seen an increase in price from RM2.70 to RM2.90/litre.

The fact of the matter is ERP is sometimes ineffective because its rates are too low most of the time. The govt needs to combine that with increased parking rates in the orchard and CBD areas, + implement some sort of limit on how long a vehicle can park in an URA lot in these areas (i.e. the wardens will mark your tyre to determine if a car has remained parked for too long). - What is used to mark a tyre?

COE is a good implementation to control supply, and having those who are willing to pay is a good way to distribute it, afterall COE prices are not set, they are based on the free market. What is stupid is people bidding such ridiculous prices, however on if they think a car is worth that much, its up to them to decide for themselves. The free market at work. - You mean its like our petrol company? Or our media? Telecommunications?

 

 

You talk no sense la. Please read more about ERP and COE.

There is always a fine balance between acceptable charging and grossly over charging.(pegged to the majority of local born - not elitist or elite thinkers but not doers like you)

IF the system does not work for such a lengthy amount of time, then it's time to change the whole system. Tweaking it yield no more gain.

Just like the way you replied to me.

Do not contradict yourself by contradicting me.

Not sure on the price of 98 in SG as I have not been pumping in SG for quite some time.

No fuel checks conducted this morning.

mai kia... the officers there 95% of the time either play with handphone or chit chat. They don't even bother to take a glance at you. Don't think they even know if their mother walk past.

I find it not worth it to go in just to pump petrol. Unless i'm going for grocery or food if not I wont go in just for petrol. Did my own calculation based on my 35 litres full tank, 3/4 can pump about 20litres only (actully less)

 

JB 1 litre S$1.14 (Need to pump RON 97)

 

Singapore i pump RON 92 $2.04 before discount (I got 15% off direct from esso so paying about $1.734, add 5% dividend discount, so it's about S$1.64/l + reward points)

 

Difference is only S$0.50/l

 

 

Average litre i pump = 20. Saving S$10 per tank.

 

But S$10 - S$1.20 Toll - S$1.20 toll = S$7.60 per tank. Not really worth it now. If want to be more detail, add in distance of home to there and the petrol wasted at the custom traffic, extra mileage added for servicing, Kopi money if unlucky. Accident risk. To sum up if you do your sum you may be paying more instead, unless you are there for other purposes like eat, grocery etc

not think a lot, just wondering why people still want to go in and pump then come out [laugh]. If you want to save wash yourself, my car wash per two weeks only $0.30 HDB water :D
