Siao Liao, Fuel price keep rising!
-
Anyone felt the pain in their pocket and instead thinking of selling their car to take public transport?
Or you die die must drive car due to 'mian zi'. Upgrade easy but downgrade difficult.
Is there an increasing trend of people selling their cars to take public transport? Or drive less and take Bus when travelling short distances?

hvnt heard abt ppl selling due to tat yet... -
Given that no government of the world can stop the rising oil price now,
does it mean that OPEC is not controllable?
Or is it commodity speculators causing it?
Or all of the above are responsible?
-
Okay guys, working with a few analysts and they expect fuel prices to hit US$200 soon. Unless a recession kicks in it will keep going up.
Reason being OPECs do not much expanding potentials. Will update this thread tomorrow when I get to office.
Anyways steel prices going up = higher costs for cars? Will kick in soon I believe.
-
I think we are still lucky,because its even higher in Europe.
$3.30 a litre anybody?
-
everything is going up.....except our pay.
knn.
-
Lan Lan no choice still have to pump petrol cannot boycott petrol station. only solution : sell car take MRT
-
now oso cannot go JB 2 pump petrol liao... sianz...
-
Oil producing countries especially those developing ones need to remove fuel subsidies so to let their people know the true cost of fuel...and curb demand
-
Russians say there is a chance of price going to USD250 per barrel

Considering that oil price doubled in just 2 years and is triple it's historical average, why not ? Then again, Iran says, russia says and they produce oil
. Possible but we'll just see a lot of people in the world dying...China + india bursting out of their bubble... -
Clarkson's top fuel saving tips
Recently, I dropped my daughter off at her school which is 60 miles away from where I live. The trip computer said I had a range of 12 miles and I knew I'd be passing no petrol stations on the way.
So how do you make a car with fuel for 12 miles cover 60? Especially when the car in question is a BMW M3 with a 400 horsepower, 4.0 litre V8.
The newspapers at the moment are full of advice on how to get the maximum number of miles to the gallon and I'm afraid none of it is really relevant.
They say, for instance, that you should remove your roof rack, but the last people to use such a thing in Britain died in 1974. On their way to watch the latest Carry On film.
They also say you should remove the spare wheel and jack. Oh come on. By all means remove any soggy rolled up carpets you may have in the boot - that will make a difference - but dispensing with the spare is as daft as dispensing with your left leg. One day, you're going to need it.
The simple fact of the matter is this; To save fuel, all you need to do is think ahead. Way, way ahead.
- If you see the lights ahead are red, take your foot off the throttle immediately. If you wait and then use your brakes you are simply wasting the fuel you used to achieve a speed you didn't need. Remember, a modern engine uses no fuel at all when it’s coasting in gear.
- If your car has cruise control, ignore it. Cruise control is a blunt instrument for Americans. Rely on something more sensitive: your foot. Speaking of which, don't drive in big shoes. They take away the sensitivity you need.
- Think carefully about what electrical appliances you need. Even Terry Wogan takes a dibble of power from the engine. And that's power which is costing you £1.18 a litre.
- Never use your heated rear window unless you can't see a thing. It's the same story with your headlights. And don't use the air conditioning either. Switch it off and in a normal family saloon, your fuel consumption will drop by as much as 12 per cent. That’s a big, big saving.
- Next. Speed. Wind it down. You don't need to do 25 mph, but instead of doing 80 on the motorway, try 75. Or if you normally do 120, try 110.
- 56 mph, by the way, really is the optimum speed for good fuel consumption in most cars. Don't try this in villages though or you will have to spend some time in a prison.
- When going downhill, ease your throttle down and work with gravity to build up speed. Then, use that momentum to get you up the other side. Using the throttle going up hill is bad.
- When leaving the lights, accelerate smartly. Not like a bat out of hell. But don't dawdle. Get the car into top gear as quickly as is reasonable. Fifth gear, remember, is no good at all.
- Don't buy a Toyota Prius.
I followed all these guidelines in the M3 and managed to get home. And here's the really interesting bit. The journey back, in eco mode, took only six minutes more than the journey there.
