With the increasing price of petrol our beloved Malaysian leaders urge us to change our lifestyle.

Let say currently you own a BMW 750L, with 5 litre engine, I dont know how much road tax are you paying per year. But you sure paying high price for petrol indeed. Plus you can only save RM 200 from the current road tax restructure, which is very small.

So the best way is to change your car to BMW 318 with 2 litre engine and enjoy the rebate (RM 625) and enjoy the cheaper road tax too (RM 375). So change your lifestyle please Tan Sri, Puan Sri, Datuk Seri, Datin Seri, Datuk - Datuk, Datin - Datin (sorry for missing any title, I dont own any of them).

So for us normal people who currently driving Honda Civic 2.0 maybe can change to Perodua Viva.

Why ?

You see, when the petrol price increase, everything else will follow. So for the big title as above, who own a factory or two, own a company, own AP, own dealership network… They actually earn more! But us normal people actually earn the same but have to pay more!

So they can change from BMW 750L to 5 X BMW 318 with ni problem, but us will have many problems. First our current car will not fetch higher price, thus we actually have to pay more to buy new perodua viva. We make more loans, we pay more for everyday necessities, yet we earn so little compared to the big title.

IS THIS FAIR ?

Anyway Pak Lah is changing his lifestyle too you know. The “elaun keraian” of PM has been cut from RM 18k monthly to RM 16k monthly. RM 2k cut is a lot alright? PM sure will have more headache on how to spend those RM 16k. Right Pak Lah ?

While Pak Lah cut RM 2k to give back to us, how many have we cut ? Let see, usually we spend RM 500 for fuel, RM 500 for savings, and the rest (RM 1k or so) for paying loans and to buy groceries. So now we spend RM 800 for fuel, we cut the savings to only RM 200, and we buy everything else “berjimat cermat”. Possibly means Maggi for the whole month.

When fuel price goes up to RM 4/litre we will not have any less for monthly savings, we cannot afford even those Maggi… Is Maggi price also increase ? Long time did not buy Maggi, have to start buying soon.

And oh… What Petronas do ? Petronas is the 6th biggest sponsor in Formula One if you want to know. SIXTH! Spending RM 886.90 MILLION!

(Still behind Shell and Mobil 1 who spend RM 986.10 Million and RM 949.36 Million respectively - Top is Marlboro RM 3.8 Billion)

This proves Petronas have lots of money. Which we have to ask why don’t they help us the citizen of Malaysia!

(Actually this post is about how to save petrol but I wrote about other things, next post please. Hehe)
