Knn, our 3/4 rule epic fail.. I have never driven in with lower than 3/4 tank no matter what.. Reason is I don't like to pump petrol at jb unless necessary.. When coming back from long distance, I prefer to fill up like few stop before I reach tuas custom and not the last petrol kiosk...

 

Epic fail in another sense. I have driven in many times but never been checked.

Honestly, why are we laughing at the guy? Because his car stalled due to lack of petrol, or he wants to pump cheaper petrol and thus, didn't pump to ensure he can cross the causeway before he runs out of fuel? Or because he drives a beemer?

 

Who is the 3/4 fuel tank rule meant to protect?

 

While I know rules are rules, not all rules are equal, and in this case, I wouldn't laugh at the guy for going in with less than 3/4 tank to save money. Someone mentioned he had a 70L tank, and would save about $100 bucks by ignoring the 3/4 tank rule. It's not an insignificant sum of money, even in this day and age.

What I would want to knock his head for, is for not ensuring he has enough fuel to get to the pump and causing traffic to hold up because he wouldn't pump in an extra couple of bucks of petrol to ensure he wouldn't cause trouble to others.

Many jealous n envious people here.cannot afford BMW, come here laugh at people

I think the service standard in JB is much better than Singapore. They are less calculative and willing to go the extra miles to make customers heypi  :a-bday:

not everyone who drives beemer is rich... some really struggling 

 

my friend drives a nice 5 series, every month installment 2k. Still got 8 yrs to go. He cannot take it anymore. Ask me to take over his car loan and he will pass me his key straight away

 

Hearsay someone staying in Sentosa Cove is crying that he's very poor till the point that the govt need to treat him curry rice for the next 8 years.. :slow:  :slow:

i thought malaysian petrol is not subsidized anymore?

 

subsidized would be like those in the GCC

 

saw that it was just singapore 35-40 cents per litre last year! no wonder every soccer mom was driving a 4.8L V8 SUV

 

malaysian petrol is definitely subsidised by a large amount.

 

 

Third consecutive year of cut in subsidy spending in 2015. Next year’s allocation for total subsidies is reduce by -MYR2.8b or -7.1% to MYR37.7b from this year’s estimate of MYR40.6b, of which over MYR21b is for fuel (RON95 petrol, diesel, LPG) subsidies alone. In absolute term, the reduction is similar to the -MYR2.8b (-6.4%) for 2014.

Malaysian petrol is dirt cheap. Much cheaper than indonesia too. Their petrol is heavily subsidized since their country doesnt have any public transport.

 

Unless they have good public transport in their main cities, then they will subsidize less

Not sure le. But cheapest is ron88 about Rp7k which is 70 cents

 

 

The pertamax plus which is ron 95 would cost around $1.1-1.2
