My response in anticipation of further price increase in fuel to RM 4 per litre in August.

Last night the roads leading to every petrol station I passed by was jam, I was thinking to myself is it worth while to join the queue just to filled up half a tank of petrol. I was pondering over this for quite a while when I realise that half a tank of petrol for my car is about 30 litres and with an increase of 78cents per litre that would come to about an increase of RM 23.40 and for a full tank that would be more than RM 50.00!! And so the next thing l knew l drove the car out and join the queue.......took me 45 minutes to fill up my tank

Our monthly petrol bills is going to increase substantially and whats worse some of us can't take advantage of the rebates as it is meant for cars with engine capacity of 2000cc and below. With our income not increasing and with the expected increase in electricity rates, food prices etc we really must tighten our belts and find ways to reduce our spending.

But before that have to deal with the staff in the office first...

Yesterday when we got the water bill, I was happy to see a RM20 savings but later, with the fuel hike announcement.. it really got me pretty upset. Now that petrol is up and electricity next... food is definitely going to increase very very soon. They asking us to change our lifestyle??.. do they know exactly what they are talking about?? .. when we are already living as simple as we can with no luxury!! How would that apply to people like us.. wage earners or no income earners!!
