My Options to Fuel Price Hike

I was lucky to fill up my tank last week on 4 June 2008 in Caltex, Puncak Jalil after the fuel price hike announcement made. The new price for ULG 97 (unleaded) is RM2.70 per litre now. I managed to fill in RM50 that will give me 26.04 litre (RM1.92/litre). The queue in the station was not as bad as other stations. I queued for 20 minutes.

As usual, I will only go to Shell station to fill up my tank for RM50 because of BonusLink. When I reached Shell station this morning, I was surprised to see the V-Power Racing fuel price is RM3.15 per litre. This is superb crazy but I didn’t chooise it. Perhaps, I continued with Shell Super as usual and for RM50 I got my tank filled up with 18.52 litre of fuel (RM2.70/litre).

I work in Cyberjaya and I travel to Cyberjaya everyday Monday to Friday. I think of three options to save my fuel cost below. Make a difference to our environment and save our mother nature.

  1. Get a fuel economy car
  2. Car pooling to work
  3. Install NGV into your car

Lastly, I had made my decision on installing NGV into my car. How about you?

Steve Jobs has unveiled the price and features of the new Apple iPhone 3G. This is the second generation of Apple iPhone prior to the first Apple iPhone which only support a slower 2G network. The low starting price of 199 USD for the 8GB version which surprised me compare to its predecessor. Converting to Malaysia Ringgits, it is 650.567 MYR (1 USD = 3.26918 MYR). While the 16GB version is selling at 299 USD. The price is incredible cheap and attractive.

The new Apple iPhone 3G will be launched on 11 July 2008 in 22 countries and going to 70 countries by end of the year. You can check out the countries listing here. However, I wonder when the Apple iPhone 3G available in Malaysia.

The Apple iPhone 3G redefines the first generation iPhone with new features like 3G network support, GPS mapping, enterprise email like Microsoft Exchange and the new App Store.
