Need subsidy...Boo Hoo

Morning --> New petrol price starting August. OK. Still have time to embrace the RM1.92/litre petrol . Calculating budget for August onwards...

Lunch --> Nom Nom

Noon --> Was inside a meeting room. Unaware of commotion outside.

5.30pm --> Officemate becomes chaotic. What?? RM2.70/litre starting THIS midnight?!! Check NST online. And bummer, it's true!..

6pm --> Drive home. (Was having paranoia thoughts that every single car is racing to the petrol station)

6.20pm --> I was right! Reached the roadside to Shell station near Equine Park and the line was already building up. Line up and managed to quench my car's thirst of "soon to be less subsidise petrol" after 20 minutes of waiting. I was lucky to be early though, since when I'm leaving the station the line along the roadside was almost 3X the length when I first arrived. And worse yet, it was raining.

So, tomorrow onwards since it will cost me maybe as much as RM100+ for a full tank of petrol I will need to think ways of reducing fuel consumption... Hmm... Ok here goes;
1. Walk instead of drive to nearest shop / grocery store. (Except when I need to buy heavy stuff, of course...)
2. Spend most of my weekend at home. Drive only to nearest lrt station if I need to go somewhere in KL. No need to drive.
3. Reduce long distance trip per week. ;P

I can't think of anything else right now. Watched the news just now and gov will give back rm625 for those who own vehicle with 2000cc and below?.. Upon paying the roadtax?... need some enlightenment on this one... Oh well, I'll read the paper tomorrow.
