Petrol expensive larr...save and don't drive so much!

Save fuel, don't drive so much!
Why're you driving so hard? It's a waste of petrol!




Well, if you were nodding in agreement to the statement above, i'm sorry but you're just wrong. See thing is, and i'm sure i'm not alone on this, i drive for pleasure. I derive fun from driving, perfecting that corner just that bit faster every time, and finding the best lines to accomplish it.

I've had various people complain about the way i was using a nanometer more of accelerator travel than was neccessary. "Ooh my, aren't you aware of the current fuel price hikes and such?!?!", they exclaim. Well, yes of course i am. How can i not. It now costs me RM135 to fill up my tank, as opposed to RM96. Am i fussed? Well, no, not particularly. I don't drink, i don't particularly party, i pretty much don't spend my money on much else. So what's wrong with choosing to spend my hard earned cash on burning some rubber, and keeping that rubber burning for as long as possible? If you disagree then that's just too bad, you can just sod off for all i care. If people can justify hundreds if not thousands drinking/partying a night, i don't see what's wrong with spending RM135 on a tank of petrol once, or even twice a week.

In other news, our Malaysian government has just approved the purchase of 14 Mercedes E200 Kompressor's by the Terengganu state authorities for foreign dignitary use only. Interesting then that the state seems to be receiving quite a lot of dignitaries of late eh? Those cars have been spotted all around town. How many foreign dignitaries does that state get at once anyway to warrant 14 luxury sedans!
Upon opening today's copy of The Star newspaper, the first headline that grabbed my attention was - "BN states to promote cost-saving habit". Really????? They're gonna pull that on us again while they sit on their RM20k toilet seats??

I think it's about time the people wised up. Before i go off, i'll leave you with a question that i think i'll answer in another post.

Why do we have to pay so much for our cars and bikes here???
