this coming F1 race zero local visitor, because too much cost impact to dirve to Sepang,

somemore no more stopping at Petronas station, they already have their must buy customer for NGV(they should share the profits of having oil in Msia),

first they force Msian to buy the never grow up Proton(very expensive) then increase the fuel price one time 30 cents.

If Pak Lah want the people to change their lifestyle , we should consider to change the G as well.

Since fuel's price is up……wanna fall back to this option ??

P.S. – Better not get into an accident with this car. Imagine how catasthropic it would be if I accidently knocked into something during reverse-parking with this car

now gotta keep on eye on the fuel pointer……………

Savvy KL to Penang at 14-15 litres of 382 km distance? works about 25.5km/l.

Sap sap sui lah Civic EK3 Vi does 28km/l on highway leng lenglah.

however, their gov. pay it back every week after certain age… see if u are a brits you wouldn't mind paying taxes coz eventually the G will give back. regardless of either you are kuai lo, asian lo, middle east lo, indian lo etc…

anyway, point is…. VOTE!!! don't waste it…

i think we must bring back ANUAR I, his supporters sure will start some tunjuk perasaan outside wisma putra. u know wht i mean.

Malaysia boleh!

In malaysia, most of us, pay comparatively low income taxes. are you prepared to pay almost 30-40% of your income as taxes for everything else that they get? you can never get the best of everything.

but still. if petrol is that high. G promise for development.

at least a good public transport to accomodocate that numbers of public transport user are needed..

and the convenience of public transport.

Why in the hell Sunway, Subang & Puchong dun have LRT?? y make d last stop Kelana Jaya.. n not going further down?

Cost of living for M'sia are pretty high. for sure.not to compare with other country, but i feel that most of us, i mean proffesional people which is not in some high rank or wat. kinda like slightly underpaid..

Talking bout highway.. is just damn furking expensive travel on highway..

and. i still cant understand.. y till these days they still need tol attendents giving away tickets?

you need man power to collect cash and return change. but y for giving tickets?

isn't that will be cheaper if u deploy a machine like those in carpark?

in lorm term. will save more.?

Agree on the highway operators making a lot of money now. But one must remember that its not cheap to build these highways also. It looks like a lot of profit as the expenses are low (the cost of building highways – which makes up the bulk of expenses – is capitalised and not expensed). But having said that, the profits they make should be utilised in improving the highways instead of just merely maintenance. I mean, why are we paying toll to use highways when we get stuck in traffic jams or flooding (like NKVE). Just my 2 cents worth.

a stray bird once told me that our crude grade is not that suitable for cars? our fuel when refined give different grade of fuel.

now let say we let Petronas pay subsidy to the 70% of the consumer who don't buy from Petronas. Then Petrona profit will shrink.

Let say of the 1 bil profit made by Petronas, 28% goes to G outright for tax, and apart from business expansion they build buildings, plant here and there mostly in M'sia. By the building/plant indirectly some ppl got contracts work ++. Of course it goes to crony but then most of the population work (directly or indirectly) for these cronies. IBM supply comp. equipment, Malayawata supply steel etc.

For foreign companies from clever accounting, they always don't make that much profit. So the 28% of corp. tax is small. Apart from plant or business expansion here, the profit go back to parent comp. So M'sian generally do not benefit much.

So why we need to boycott Petronas? btw Petronas engineers are the poorest in term of pay and benefit compare to their counterpart in other company.

However I agree that we need to boycott PLUS, Grand Saga, Bestraya and the like. Pay toll so that you can experience traffic jam. At least they have to do something to ease of the jam esp. at toll booth instead of relying on traffic police, as the user pay them not the police.

Also, road tax in the US is about USD20 for 5 years (or is it 4 years) ….

Also, tol rates go down in other develop countries …

better to direct all the energy into finding ways to live with a higher fuel price, and eventually, higher price for everything.

btw, i am recommending the smaller 1litre to 1.3 litre class cars because they are more affordable. vios and city are in the higher price margin. of course, if you really have the money, just import in a hybrid car. but i dont see the point in buying a highly expensive car just to save some petrol, unless of course you are a high mileage driver. btw, a friend of mind drove to penang recently in a savvy, and he used around 14-15 litres of fuel one way. i think thats pretty decent.

today i went to pasar malam at bangi, as far as i can see still no price up.. yet.. i just cant imagine how it would be if all the prices comes up.. even now to survive for one whole month to wait the next month salary is sooo hard man…

who happy ?? u know i know la!.

one thing i dun understand, why until the last minute only tell us hv increase in fuel in prices? aiyoh, rili they wanna give us the shock of our life, even can shock the sick to be well again.

so many complaints abt prices hike, so start buying bicycles, dun buy fuel-drinker anymore.

those car manufacturer can tapao liao, we malaysian now welcome bicycle manufacturer from the world. anyone or anybody wanna come ?

I gues hes just a Honda driver. Getz……….heheheh, donno nuts about fuel efficiency cars.

I heard 1 of our neighbour contry is applying hybrid technology in all of their vehicles in the future, good step. P1 or P2 should figure out this technology and build it ! (yea rite….boleh land….LOL)

Myvi is a petrol guzzling MPV at its range. There was comparison between hybrid and fuel efficient vehicle like Jazz iDSI and City iDSi. They were almost on par, so if no need hybrid (maintenance expensive), then these budget vehicles will do as well. Problem is government tax raise them so high that its out of reach from average people.

If you compare, iDSI can challenge 1.3cc in alot of cases in FC but imagine the comfort, power and safety provided by this budget vehicle compared with our counterpart. Kancil is an exception because its even lower than that.

btw Getz 1.3 is not really that fuel efficient. Try to compare its mileage with City or Jazz iDSI 1.5cc.
