Petrol Havoc

Lately today, the government announced the price hike for gasoline.






New Price Old Price
RON97 Petrol RM2.70 per liter RM1.92 per liter
RON92 Petrol RM2.62 per liter RM1.88 per liter
Diesel RM2.58 per liter RM1.58 per liter




Quoted from paultan.org

It had raised to RM0.78 cents per litre of gasoline. So, I decided to try my luck to pump my mom's car petrol to full. It turn out to be the worst havoc ever.

Maybe this had a almost 40% increase in gasoline price. So, a lot of "kiasu" people rush their way to pump their petrol to full before midnight where the price of gasoline is RM2.70 per litre.

I can't even turn to left. Petronas station.


Wow! That's was expensive. Give an example a car which has 35 litres of fuel tank. Based on the old price=(RM1.92 X 35 litres = RM67.20)

Based on the new price=(RM2.70 X 35 litres =RM94.50)

Cars obstructing the lanes going out!


That's an increase of RM27.30 for the old price compared to the new price which will be effective in another 1 hour ++

So, this would cause a massive traffic jam especially there is 2 gasoline stations side by side nearby my house.

At the end, I just managed to snap some photos after waiting for 30 minutes plus and give up waiting.

Give up after waited for 30 minutes.
Can't even go in neither Petronas nor Shell Station.

Petrol price hike, food price hike. Next electricity, water, car price hike? ~Peace~
