Hey bros, there are loopholes on the ERP.
People know that and they keep quiet about it to safeguard their ownselves.
To everyone's benefit, please do not discuss feasible ways or if you have a way, do NOT reveal it here. Do it through PMs.It could be government monitored. We don't want a repeat incident which happened last year on a lady curious on why she wasn't charged for parking and this led to the discovering of a loophole in the parking IU systems.
I may be flamed here - but this is my 2 cents worth.
We wouldn't want an investigation on such a scenario do we?

It all boils down to location :D
Hmm, for shell the best deal would be for UOB credit cards as there's an additional 5% smart rebate and you can use the rebate gained on your current top up to offset your next fuel top up.
For SPC, I guess it would be POSB everyday card? Not too sure about this one though - never used SPC before..

How much do you drive? Must be quite a lot daily right?
Distance to and from work totals about 20km a day.
On average I only cover about avg 50km (to and from work and then at the same time throw in some leisurely driving on some days) a day that's why my petrol bill is pretty low..kinda economical lah :D
It's the E240 W210 1997 :) Pretty rare these days.

I'm on the corporate that's why I can get 18%.
For non corp customers, the best credit card to charge your petrol expenditure to would be Citibank Dividend.
You get the standard 5% on site discount plus an additional 5% rebate to your credit card a/c.
If you pump at exxon, there's another additional 3% rebate to your credit card.
With the Dividend Card, Citibank will send you a cheque at the end of every three months on all the rebates accumulated.
Which means bros here who spend like $500 on petrol after discount, effectively you would be having a $40 cheque sent to you, not to mention that it would be more given that you would have rebates at every transaction point:)A little long post early in the morning but and I do hope it's not side tracking of this topic

Usually if no one has raised this issue, the "error" of it being in operation might still be in stance.
Drive past, take the cost of another $2, but this time with someone inside to snap a photo of it in operation!
C'mon guys, when its the correct time to make some noise, do make some noise! :)
Anyway, to everyone at work, at school, where ever, have a great thursday ahead!

Make a big huha on this!
Write to the press, stomp it whatever!
Some factors for you to consider -Intended safety in the tunnel
ERP gantry wasn't in operation but yet operational
No indication of operationality or intended operationality
Contest the fact that this surprise to motorists would result in panic braking
The probability of a chain accident
Where's the safety now I ask you LTA? :)

$300.00 is the amount after 18% petrol discount which I'm entitled to - gross is actually approximately $340-$350 a month.
Each full tank's around $120.00 - monthly mileage is around 1500km :)
My petrol burning days are when I head down to Sentosa or Keppel for dinner - CBD's just 8-9km away from my place:)

Based on my driving experience, I have never seen a double digited price increase. The highest so far I had seen was a 6 cent increase sometime in May-June when record oil prices kept topping the chart.
At least the petrol companies are doing something to keep their pump prices as realistic and in tandem with world market conditions.
It would be a little difficult for me to comment on public transportation's pricing but perhaps I could do a little justification for why such fares have been on the rise.
Crude oil had nearly increased by 100% in July as compared to the same period as the last and that public transportation companies only have the opportunity to propose fare amendments once a year as compared to petrol companies which have the jurisdiction to allow their pump prices to move in tandem with market conditions.
There are other reasons - but the way public and private listed companies operate, well, a monopolisation of the mass market is always bad.
Not just here, but evident elsewhere in the world.

Firstly, ensure that your suspensions have not become soft by slowly pressing your car downwards. If it bounces up and down easily, it is a sign that eminent replacement is required.
You may also want to hear whether there are knocking sounds when you go over bumps and humps when you drive.
The best thing to do is to actually send the car in to a reputable workshop for a diagnosis and if it really does need replacing, please do so!
Otherwise your under carriage might be damaged in the long run if your suspensions are soft which would result in the undercarriage of the car hitting against the surface of the road should it not be able to take the pressure weight of the car as it goes over road depressions, high humps etc.
For a normal car like a Nissan Sunny, a good estimate would be around $400 for all suspension struts, including labour.
I am currently using bilstein comfort shocks which retail for about $600-$700 a pop for all four, inclusive of labour.
Hope this helps mate!
