Though Malaysians like to bitch a lot, stay in Malaysia, and you are half way to victory in combating fuel price.

In Kazakhstan, where I am, fuel prices range between RM2.20 to RM3.20, with an average of about RM2.50.

I am considering to change to Mitsubishi Mirage, MyVi or Savvy or Hybird car, because use less petrol haha... my ford one right now, full tank is RM140, too pricey. Maintaining the car already not easy, need to send for service, parking, toll, now petrol also want to eat our wallets up. Hai... less yum cha gathering with friends lo.

Maybe another better option: get a wealthy wife.

I think no matter what we do to combat it, the fuel price will always be increasing until its final depletion. It is a losing battle.

Don't tailgate/draft/slipstream! Drafting is only beneficial if you really go high speed like in racing but is it worth the risk of accidents??

 

[hamtaro00]

i draft before overtake at highway. but maintain space for evasion la. hahaha. seriously, its dangerous.

I remember, in a fuel saving competition (in Malaysia), Nissan Sylphy got 160km/liter...crazy eh?
By drafting a tanker...how fast would a tanker go? and how fast should he drive to get that number?

Its not a suggestion...its a way...

Hmm agree , since petrol so expensive, apply some reward card or cashback might help a lil but not really big different. we still need to pay alot for petrol anyway.. as u can see, i need to spend rm1.3k for petrol per month. i do use card too. for example, i use rm400 for petrol, then rebate 2% ( rm8) .. not big difference right ?
