Fuel Prices Increased....... Does it matter?

Does it really matters? Is really the fuel price that caused us to be panic?

I filled up my tank with the RM2.70 petrol this morning. I was still running on the RM1.92 petrol, till this morning.

The different : I was paying RM75 for full tank and now RM102. Its RM27 different. So, its only about RM100 different per month for me, for someone who drives around a lot.

The advice : Keep your RPM below 2,000. With that, you actually burn less fuel. (this is an advice from a close friend, not a certified automobile engineer)

To me, its not about the fuel price. Its about how it was increased and also the consequential effects.

Because of this 40% increase, i am paying RM6 for nasi campur behind my office. It used to be only RM4. Take note, that's 50% increase, Ok.

What I really don't like is, people are taking advantages on this. I wonder how they justify to increase so much.

40% increase on petrol = 50% increase on food.
Is their cost of goods for food is FUEL????

This is what really pisses me off!
