I wanted to go pump full but the distance to the station is not worth
it!!!
The most I'd save is RM3 for 30 litres of petrol after deducting the
distance travelled.


It's fascinating to see long cues of people waiting at petrol stations
thinking they save a few RM. They call their family to inform them about
the news, then they drive to the petrol station where they have to stand
in
line, engines rotating and airco running for 30 minutes or longer...
...don't tell me they save anything!

What I find even stranger is that some (usually Petronas) stations just
close shop for the evening so they can sell their stocks at a better price
the next day. Don't they realise that their competitors benefit from
this?
Don't they realise they make loss by not selling anything for an evening?
Secondly, they chase away their customers in the name of profits, forcing
people to fuel with the competition. You think the competition would make
loss selling fuel 30sen cheaper compared to the day after? The might gain
new, long term customers, they have increased sales and enjoy free pr
(we're
open to serve you, they are not) courtesy of their closed competitor.

Fueling up would only be worth it if you happen to run empty while being
on
the road and the cue would be 5 cars or less.

Petrol Price Up Again
General
February 27, 2006 23:14 PM
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 27 (Bernama) -- The retail price for petroleum
products including diesel will be raised by another 30 sen effective
Tuesday.

"The government has decided to raise the retail price of petrol and
diesel by 30 sen per litre and the price of LPG by 30 sen per
kilogram effective tomorrow (Tuesday)," said a statement from the
Prime Minister's Office Monday night.

The increase was to tackle the impact from the increase in the price
of crude petroleum in the world market and to curb the increase in
subsidy which had to be borne by the government, the statement said.

However, the statement said that the government gave an assurance
that there would be no further raise in the retail price of
petroleum products this year.

The last time the government raised the retail price of petroleum
products was on July 31, 2005 where the price of petrol went up by
10 sen per litre, diesel by 20 sen per litre and LPG by five sen per
kilogram.

The new price of RON 97 petrol is now 192 sen per litre, RON 92
Petrol -- 188 sen per litre, Diesel -- 158.1 sen per litre and LPG
-- 175 sen per kilogram.

In Sabah, RON 97 Petrol will cost 190 sen per litre, RON 92 Petrol
-- 188 sen per litre, Diesel -- 158.4 sen per litre and LPG -- 183
sen per kilogram.

In Sarawak, RON 97 Petrol will cost 191 sen per litre, RON 92 Petrol
-- 188 sen per litre, Diesel 157.8 sen per litre and LPG -- 183 sen
per kilogram. All the new prices are higher by 30 sen.

"The retail price for petroleum products is being raised because in
2005 the amount of subsidy borne by the government was RM7.41
billion. Whereas tax exemption stood at RM7.85 billion.

"The burden of subsidy and tax exemption borne by the government
from January to February 2006 was RM1.19 billion and RM1.44 billion
respectively," the statement said.

The statement said that without subsidy and tax exemption provided
by the government, the retail price of these products in March 2006
would be higher.

Without the subsidy and tax exemption, the price of RON 97 in the
peninsula would have been RM2.46 per litre, RON 92 -- RM2.37 per
litre, Diesel -- RM1.98 per litre and LPG -- RM3.21 per kilogram.

In Sabah, RON 97 petrol without subsidy and tax exemption would have
been RM2.45 per litre, RON 92 -- RM2.37 per litre, Diesel -- RM1.97
per litre and LPG -- RM3.35 per kilogram.

In Sarawak, the price of RON 97 petrol without subsidy and tax
exemption would have been RM2.45 per litre, RON 92 -- RM2.36 per
litre, Diesel -- RM1.97 per litre and LPG -- RM3.34 per kilogram.

"Although the government is raising the price of petroleum products,
diesel and LPG, the price of petrol and diesel in Malaysia is still
cheaper compared to the price of most of these products in the Asean
countries except for Brunei Darussalam," the statement said.

The statement also said the price of petroleum products in several
other countries, including Asean countries, was higher than in
Malaysia. per litre), diesel (RM2.28 per litre) and LPG (RM1.65 per
kilogram).

In Thailand, the price of RON 97 petrol is RM2.52 per litre, RON 92
(RM2.45 per litre), diesel (RM2.28 per litre) and LPG (RM1.65 per
kilogram).

The price in the Philippines is RM2.21 per litre for RON 97 petrol,
RON 92 (RM2.20 per litre), diesel (RM1.95 per litre) and LPG (RM4.90
per kilogram).

In Singapore, it is RM4.15 per litre for RON 97 petrol, RON92
(RM3.89 per litre), diesel (RM2.39 per litre) and LPG (RM5.32 per
kilogram) while in Brunei the price for RON 97 petrol is RM1.22 per
litre, RON 92 (RM1.19 per litre), diesel (RM0.71 per litre) and LPG
(RM1.40 per kilogram).

In Indonesia, it is RM2.30 per litre for RON 97 petrol, RON 92
(RM2.20 per litre), diesel (RM1.68 per litre) and LPG (RM1.89 per
kilogram).

The statement said the government had also introduced a diesel
subsidy system for 84 per cent of vehicles in the land transport
sector comprising public transport operators and consumer goods
services through the use of fleetcards.

"With the use of fleetcards, they are able to buy diesel at a
subsidised price of 15 sen lower than the fixed price," it said,
adding that the Domestic and Consumer Affairs Ministry had issued a
letter to inform the eligible operators of the matter.

The Prime Minister's Office also said the financial savings from the
increase in the price of petroleum products would be used to finance
development projects and improve the public transport system for the
benefit of the people.
