Govt incentive of $45k is a rebate against ARF.

Other than Tesla, all other EV is “non-existent”

We really treat Dyson and Tesla too well here. Bending over to the Anglo Saxons...

sorry ignorant but why Mini must pump RON98 ah😂

Cars with high compression must use higher octane petrol. Engine with higher compression ratio can extract more power and most sports tuned engine are in this category. the higher octane petrol will prevent 'knocking' or detonation - i.e. the fuel mixture igniting in the cylinder before the the spark from from the spark plug. This means that the piston could still be in the compression phase when it ignites and it can cause damage to the cylinder.

With RON100, the pops and bangs even louder.

Tesla price is transparent.

OMV + ARF (after 45k rebate) + GST + Excise Duty + COE = Sales Price
