JayTee: You will be surprised. To some people, RM10 – RM40 is A LOT of money worth wasting the hours stuck in the jam and queuing at petrol stations.

baby: I am equally stumped but then these people damn kiasu mah, so they don’t think like that. Maybe they like getting stuck in traffic jams.

Roshann: you may not take 3 hours to fill up but hundreds others were stuck in traffic jams for more than 3 hours just to get to petrol stations. Since this is my blog, I can write open insults whenever I like. Anyone who feels insulted or offended have the option to click away, nobody is forcing them to read this blog. A closed mind is only good for small shrinking brains so no thanks, I’ll keep mine open.

acura: I think the government purposely chose that time, must be fun to cause all that panic rush to petrol stations.

One more thing, why those the government choose to announce it just before the evening rush hour? Can’t they announce it at night during the prime time news. That will ease the congestion.

My car can store about 50 litres of fuel.
At RM1.92 = RM96.00
At RM2.70 = RM135.00

Savings = RM39.00

I took about half-an hour to get to my turn. Which means,I saved about RM39.00 in this 30 mins. Unless you have a job that can earn you RM78.00 an hour in that period of waiting to fill your tank, then you’d be smart to not fill up.

So, its like saying that you wouldn’t take RM40 that a person offers you just because you know another stranger like this ain’t coming along soon. Opportunity costs are considered relevant. As the saying goes, a penny saved is a penny earned.

And again, I would like to repeat that it didn’t take 3 hours to fill my tank. It took me about 30 mins. And based on my observation, most people turned their cars off while waiting.

P/s: Being too open minded can lead to brains falling out. An open insult isn’t that wise.

Malaysians. Kiasu. Lose few bucks oso can’t. Haih. Hahah is it worth it wasting hours of your own time AND other people’s time just for that few measley dollars? Life shouln’t be wasted like that. It’s not worth it.

Just my opinion.

KY: tell me about it man! I was cursing all the way…

tom: you must have went early, because here the petrol stations were so packed, you’d be even lucky to get near.not to mention the horrendous jam leading to the petrol station.

rachel: yes, unfortunately, a lot of people seem to think that they are ’saving’ money from all that. Go figure.

lilian: in your case, u all really saved money because u didn’t waste the petrol queuing up and getting stuck in jam unlike all those stupid people!

falcon: if they go to the petrol stations before the mad rush, then they really do save money but if they purposely go to pump petrol with the illusion of saving money after the announcement when all cars are heading that way, then they are actually burning up more petrol, wasting time, causing more pollution and overheating the car because of the jams. That’s not saving money, that’s pure foolishness.

Thomas: aiyah, all petrol station boss damn rich wan. They are selling black gold after all.

r.p.: at least you smart enough not to wait till after 5pm when all the jam started.

pablopabla: yes it does make me feel better. That’s what personal blogs are for, to rant against stupid people. LOL. However, you forgot one point. How can they be saving money if they are wasting more petrol (by burning more petrol being stuck in the jams), causing more pollution, overheating their cars and wasting hours in the jams and queues? Let’s say they wasted about 3 hours to go to the petrol station and based on a RM10 hourly wage rate, that means they wasted RM30, then what about the petrol burnt when the engines were idling away in the jams and queues? Also, from the start I am referring to those who ‘made a beeline to petrol stations because of the petrol price hike’, not those with empty tanks.

izzat: Again, I am referring to those who made a beeline to petrol stations because of the petrol price hike, not those with empty tanks.Haih, must I state there ‘ALL stupid people who purposely go to the petrol stations because of price hike and not because of empty tanks’?? Eh, like I said to pablopabla, by getting stuck in the jams and long queues, etc, the people, lower income or not, are losing out more than ’saving’ money. Lost time due to traffic jams is considered money also you know.

Tommy: yes, but you see hor, many people are just darn selfish thinking about the so-called money they saved by doing this. You think they cared about the pollution and effects to the environment meh? They don’t even care about the wasted hours despite the fact that TIME is MONEY.

ok, i also went to pump stations last night.. because my car tank already at “E”. So? am I “as what you said”?LOLS..

rm2.70/litre maybe is nothing for you. but mind also other people with low income.

You have the right to be angry but please don’t make general labels on people without finding out their actual reasons for doing so.
