More drivers making the switch to GAS

[Tohto]

If our talented n underpaid government are serious abt this issue, they shld expang the infrastructure for this cng car. Onli 1 pump kiosk in JURONG ISLAND!!!! 2 more coming out in near future........ well done

 

If there is more CNG station, more people will convert their car to cng, less revenue for petrol, how our garment going to get their bonus paid

[Kingcopa]

If they realli interested, what cannot be done. Take a look at IR can liao

I think I read somewhere that someone invented using WATER as an energy source.

 

He was eventually MURDERED.

 

Conspiracy theory has it that the murder was plotted by the oil cartels.

 

So there could be a reason why alternate energy sources developments are so slow moving...

[Route88]

Meaning,a guy that is developing compressed air for cars on the next list?

I think he got mafia to protect.

[Watwheels]

Whoever come out with the next long running energy source will be a rich man.

something i dun understand. if it relies on both petrol and gas, does it mean we first pump some gas in Jurong island, then head down to a petrol station for petrol??

 

i like the idea. the savings is substantial. im not sure if its really worth for me right now though. im getting ard 10km/l. pay 3k for cng. i can also pay 3k downpayment for a more fuel efficient car like jazz or mazda 2 which can give me ard 14km/l.

[Route88]

There's a switch to use either CNG or petrol

The saving can go back to you in a long run.

[Auron]

those that want to convert, please convert fast to enjoy the saving.

 

once our gahmen see that there is "critical mass" out there, they will just increase the "CNG taxes" and bring the price of the CNG on par with petrol.

[Kb27]

But customers usually recoup their outlay within two years as CNG retails at around 78 cents an equivalent litre. Petrol goes for about $1.90 a litre.

JB petrol also retails around 78 cents an equivalent litre.

Think this is a chicken and egg issue.....not many CNG refill station...how to get pple to convert?

 

N not many pple convert, how to get more CNG refill stations??

 

Guess our govt has to take a more pro-active approach (if they want to) in order for more motorists to have the convenience and confidence to convert.

 

If not hor...i also wun convert loh...imagine travel from the east all the way to the west..just to fill up on gas...

[Surferguy1978]

same reason for me!

[Tohto]

When is the CNG station in Serangoon North coming up. Can consider than since I stay in Seng Kang

1. I postpone the idea because I can't get use to the idea of putting 100Kg cylinder permanetly in my boot. The tank is huge, it chews up lots of space. I will reconsider again, when much lighter tank is available at affordable fees.

 

2. For the time being, JB petrol is half price so no incentive to switch yet.

Some cars have like camry has super big and deep boot; SUVs can even hid the tanks in the spare tyre lobang.

"To comply, Mr Chin's Porsche had to be installed with two carbon-fibre gas tanks, as a single large steel tank cannot be fitted without a huge weight penalty."

.

 

Now Melchers got carbon-fibre tank? Hmmm.. interesting to know how much they weigh, and the capacity compared to the conventional steel ones?

Carbon-fibre tank is very expensive...for expensive porsche may worth it.

Someone in the stream forum mentioned that its about $3.5k per carbon-fibre tank. Plus point is that it is 1/3 the original weight ~20kg.
