Wages have increased too from 2008.

Yes, but not in tandem with cost of living. Hence people kpkb.

Wages have increased too from 2008.

But the relative increase between wages and fuel prices is too wide apart.

Ahem Ahem.

Very Wise man think alike.
(our same opinion).

 

[glockman]

COE prices have dropped drastically. Not sure what it is for Cat B now. But it's no longer like the peak of 80k plus. Now I think its about 35k?

$37k now.

 

[AhMeng]

$37k now.

Cheap, relatively of course...

I carry for you, I'll be your caddy. Nobody will laugh at you. Swee boh?

Yep, there're simply no good reasons to own a car here these days. I am glad we were fortunate to have had our car fun those days. Before COE, ERP, in-car cams, traffic cams and road congestions. I should sell off mine, it's being underused.

Plus you have to deal with all the assholes on the road!

 

[AhMeng]

By the way, I don't wash my car. It's washed naturally by rain. The only time it gets to "bathe" is when it is at the workshop for servicing.

I reckon I shouldn't wash the car. I pay a license to rent called COE for 10 years to PAP. It really doesn't belong to me.

 

[Mark9999]

All the road rages.

 

[glockman]

Plus you have to deal with all the assholes on the road!

Yes more cars, more assholes.

 

[Mark9999]

Yes more cars, more assholes.

More accidents.
More deaths.

4 men test car’s suspension vigorously while pumping petrol in JB, alleged to be S’poreans – Mothership.SG

For some people, the term “pumping petrol” can be quite physical.

If you want it, you gotta werk it

On April 8, a video of four people rocking their car while refueling at a petrol station was uploaded to the Facebook page All Singapore Stuff.

The video appeared to be filmed by an observer just outside the station.
Malaysia-based media World of Buzz speculated(WOB) that the four people were Singaporeans, with the location of the petrol station to be in Johor Bahru.
However, it is unclear when the incident took place.

Here is the video:
In case you can’t see the video:
Here is the video’s caption:

“This weekend, spend quality time with your family”.

Breakdown of car rocking

Throughout the video, one man dressed in a white t-shirt and blue pants can be seen sitting in the open boot of the car, vigorously shaking it up and down.

He is aided in his endeavour by a second man dressed in an orange t-shirt, who appears to be also pressing the car up and down, although the second man eventually stops.

Meanwhile, on the left of car are two people who appear to be tending to the petrol pump, with one of them holding it steady as the car bobs up and down.
Here is a gif of their efforts:

At one point, the video zooms out of the station to show the queue of vehicles that has supposedly formed outside, with some laughter heard in the background.

The video then re-focuses on the car and its occupants, showing the man in white still rocking the car up and down.

Why the speculation that the people involved are Singaporean?

Because Singaporeans have been captured on video rocking their car at a Malaysian petrol station before, such as here:

Although it should be noted that such behaviour is not just limitedto Malaysian petrol stations.

Does shaking the car actually allow you to pump more petrol?

The short answer: no.

Rather, it is that the time that has passed, and not the rocking, which allows more petrol to be introduced to the tank.

Is shaking the car bad for it then?

Several commentators who responded to the video pointed that out such an action would likely spoil the suspension.

While shaking the car is not bad for it per se, overfilling the tank is detrimental as it may cause the petrol to enter the Evac system, the fuel evaporation system which helps remove vapour from a fuel tank.

And the cost of replacing the Evac system can quite steep.

In any case, another commentator stated that such an act should not be done on the grounds simply because it looked ridiculous.

Here’s a local case of twerking at a petrol station:

Man twerking aggressively at S’pore petrol station is how everyone should pump petrol

Here’s why shaking your car to pump petrol doesn’t actually work:

Yes, we pay for the privilege of a temporary car ownership. A very expensive privilege. I don't believe in washing my car too. I am appalled at those who do. There are better things to do, like polishing and cleaning our PMDs.
