TIPS TO FILL-UP FUEL EFFICIENTLY...

ONLY BUY OR FILL UP YOUR CAR OR BIKKIE IN THE EARLY MORNING WHEN THE GROUND TEMPERATURE IS STILL COLD.
Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground, the denser the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening.... your liter is not exactly a liter.In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products play an important role. A 1degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.


ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TIPS IS TO FILL UP WHEN YOUR TANK IS HALF FULL.
The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank, the less air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can imagine. Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the petrol and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation. Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated, so that every liter is actually the exact amount.


WHEN YOU'RE FILLING UP, DO NOT SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER OF THE NOZZLE TO A FAST MODE.
If you look, you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode, you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created, while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you ' re getting less worth for your money.


ANOTHER REMINDER, IF THERE IS A FUEL TRUCK PUMPING INTO THE STORAGE TANKS, WHEN YOU STOP TO BUY, DO NOT FILL UP.
Most likely the petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

Minyak naik 1 Mei 2010, sedia ikat perut!!!

Minyak pasti naik 1 Mei 2010 ini. Dulu kata hanya pada 1 Mei 2010 rakyat akan tahu berapa akan naik (bukan minyak naik tapi dijual tanpa subsidi).

Tapi sekarang kemungkinan akan diumum dua bulan lebih awal (agaknya sebab orang takut beli kereta sebelum 1 Mei 2010, nanti jualan kereta merudum).

Menurut penganalisis permotoran terkemuka iaitu Paul Tan, hanya akhbar Sin Chew yang dapat sedikit maklumat mengenai mekanisma kenaikan minyak pada 1 Mei 2010 ini , iaitu :

1. Satu mekanisma pendaftaran kenderaan akan diadakan pada bulan Mac 2010.

2. Mereka yang ada lebih dari satu kereta hanya layak untuk membeli minyak pada harga subsidi untuk satu kereta sahaja . (Jadilah kenalah pindah daftar kereta atas nama isteri, isteri-isteri ke, anak-anak ke, ayah ke, datuk ke, nenek ke, asalkan masih hidup dan bukan hantu).

3. Mereka yang tiada kenderaan tidak akan dapat subsidi.

4. Jika pengguna menggunakan lebih minyak dalam tempoh sebulan, selebihnya dia akan membeli minyak tanpa sebarang subsidi.

5. Kuota sebulan adalah antara 100 liter ke 300 liter.

6. Kapasiti enjin atau cc kenderaan kemungkinan tidak diambil kira dalam mekanisma ini (mungkin pukul rata).Bersedialah kita semua untuk ikat perut. Puasa , dapat pahala.Biar minyak naik, jangan kita naik minyak. Motosikal kan ada, apa susah.

**********************************
It looks like Sin Chew has some details according to an unnamed source.

- Some kind of ‘registration exercise’ will begin in March in preparation for the new system’s implementation on the 1st of May.

- Maybe the government has changed their mind and will reveal our new nightmare two months ahead instead of the night before?

- Someone who owns multiple cars will only be eligible for subsidy worth for one car only.

- Someone who does not own a car does not get any subsidy quota.

- If a car owner finishes his monthly subsidy quota, the person can continue to puchase fuel, but at unsubsidised market rates.

- Quota is expected to be anything between 100 to 300 liters per month.

-The government is considering removing the engine capacity variable from the formula that determines your monthly subsidy.
