5 Savvy ways to combat petrol hike in Malaysia

Written on July 31, 2008 – 11:25 am | by Kampung Boy |

As we know, the recent petrol hike is really killing the moderate income citizens in Malaysia. I am in that bracket. A 41% increase on petrol isn’t really helping. I am sure more Barang Naik will come after this petrol hike.

So i would love to share 5 savvy ways to combat petrol hike.

Carpool

Carpool whenever you can. Either going to work or shopping malls, max the usage the number of passengers in a car. Take turns to carpool and dont be a parasite to your friends.

Use smaller vehicles

It is not a wise time to change car if you already have one. Be contented and thankful with what you have. Cars are used to bring you from one point to another and not to show off.

Drive slower

If you are used to driving at 100 km/h, try driving at 90 km/h. Driving slightly slower reduces petrol consumption.
Not only that, it might save lives as well when we drive slower. Ingatilah orang yang tersayang.

Say no to drive through

The time taken to wait at drive through will cost you to burn unnecessary petrol. Park your car and go to the restaurant will save you more time and of course petrol as well. To all those McD kaki’s take note ya!

Don’t sit idle

If you are waiting for you friend, don’t let the car engine run and burn unnecessary petrol. It is just like taking RM 1, burning it and throwing it out of the window.

There you go, my 5 savvy ways to combat petrol hike in Malaysia. Hope this money saving tips will be beneficial to all.
