Unfortunately, there will not be enough money in my pocket to sustain this increase and no more good food for my children. Good air quality but poor health standard... Way to go Boleh land...

Also, perhaps the environmentalists also will stop blaming us for causing the polar ice cap to melt, the panda bears for being sexually inactive, and start thanking us for bringing back life to our planet, bringing in the rain and the Earth will smile happily once again. If ever there's a price hike, they sure are getting smarter in giving excuses. Expect Semi Value to come out with statements like "Suddenly, the Cabinet ask to increase quality, so the cost will be higher. We hv no choice, we're doing what the Cabinet told us to do.

My guess is that refining diesel to that level of refinement probably costs quite a bit and so will entail a significantly higher price increase, something I don't think the public will accept at this point. It would be great if the government could provide a timeframe for progress to the higher fuel standards. Nevertheless, moving to Euro 2 is a belated and significant step to take towards a cleaner environment and I for one am happy to pay a little bit more for that.

At the very least we're getting cleaner fuels, that also means our engine performance will have a bit more improvement and of course much better exhaust emission. OK, I see this as a good news.
