    whoa! but petrol used to be cheaper. those times it was about 1.60 for 95, you clock so much mileage arh aiya go msia la, msia's mobil f1 petrol only rm1.97 and it improves fuel efficiency, it worked for me and my friends.

    I know...and my monthly bill was still close to S$ 1k !!! That car was a guzzler....only 5km to 6 km per litre max ! Only thing is the power is intoxicating : )

    DG....it's the cartel that's playing punk !!!

      CommentAuthorcaniggia (CommentTimeJun 30th 2008)

     
    i dun understand y cant the world just use nuclear reactor to produce electricity instead of tapping on fossil fuel. for a change, nuclear reactors produce a whole lot less carbon emission, n is sustainable too. n if that happens, the demand for fuel will also lower, hence forcing the cartel n the producers to lower their prices for fuel.
    
    meanwhile, our govt should be phasing out petrol engine cars, bt advocate diesel/cng/hybrid engine cars. cos all these makes of engines produce lesser emission, n is fuel efficient too. this way, its nt only a major effort for greener sg, bt it helps to keep the smiles on our ppl (especially vehicle owners) too.

    Phase out? HAHA! Perhaps telling that to the car manufacturers will be a better idea. And, unless they can improve the freeing up of space in the boot (space taken up by the CNG cylinder, perhaps then ppl wun mind.
    
    Already encouraging to go green with green rebates and stuff.
    Problem is the lack of re-fuelling stations for CNG (only 1 in Buona Vista area and another in Tuas?) although there are already plans to built a few around the island.

      CommentAuthorRatatouille (CommentTimeJun 30th 2008)

     
    CNG prices are also going up. As long as crude prices go up, all the associating products, even by-products like CNG, will go up.
    
    my petrol consumption a month is about $500... cry cry...

    Within our lifetimes, or shortly after, petrol will run out. Then you'll see goodbye to the petrol internal combustion engine.

    well, i guess alternative sources & technology can still make a difference in buffering the uptrend in petrol.
    
    1. there's bio-fuel that can be considered as alternatives, though the initial costs to make it happen is still quite hefty for the time being.
    2. there's trials ongoing to explore feasibility in exploiting the abundance of water as fuel
    3. there's R&D going on to maximize the output for solar/ wind/ hydro power, so to offset fuel consumption that drives electricity
    4. nuclear technology has been available for awhile, to minimize fuel consumption to drive electricity
    5. advancements in technolgy that helps step up energy efficacy for day-to-day appliances; lighting, aircon, fridge... etc
    6. already available methods to recycle cooking oil for motor fuel
    7. synthetic formulation of fuel, so to reduce fuel ratio for consumption
    8. car makers developing fuel efficient engines to reduce consumption, as well as lesser carbon emission
    9. hybrid technology that uses recharged cells, so to reduce fuel consumption
    
    and a long long list...
    
    if only the govt can be less myopic, n start looking farther for the benefit of economic sustainability...

    When fossil fuel runs out people will find another source of fuel. The human nature is that big changes doesn't happen until we are at the tipping point of a global event. When oil hits $500 a barrel and the wells run dry which will happen one day there will come something else to replace. The only reason why there are no current impetus to change is that fossil fuel is still the path of least resistance and the infrastructure is already set up to milk max profit from this fuel source. Oil is just damn cheap now compared to alternatives. Look at the price of one liter of crude oil and one liter of Evian see which is cheaper...
    
    The brief spike of petrol to $140 a barrel already spurred a slew of green vehicle buying and alternative energy investments. That price did not sustain so we are heading back to square one....
    
    Caniggia,
    
    Nuclear energy? Our government already sold us out by selling all utilities to some foreign companies and we are paying the price now.... throw the basic economics of the role of government providing public goods because as far as I can tell all public goods in singapore are sold to highest bidders with a single for profit motive. Oil expensive? raise bus fare, mrt fare (they are not even losing just making less money). oil and gas too expensive for power generation? raise price again. Won't be surprised one day we sell our roads and you pay for usage...

    PG, to put it in better perspective, i think they already sold us out since day 1. the population is generally overqualified & pathetically underpaid.
