    yeah.... guarantee there will be more fuel economy car on the road.... proton can announce bankrupt... cease operation already.... though govt subsidies it... but it is still expensive... lets say if compare to aussie... if u dun convert... their petrol is much cheaper....

    plus the notice of fuel increase is out of sudden.... now they say wanna increase 30 cents and not gonna increase this year... wat if next year 1st jan they increase another 30 cents or so.... then v gonna die of hunger... all our money use to pump petrol only...

    Yup.. Fuel is an important commodity. If its price goes up, prices of everything else goes up coz variable costs increase.:|

    :eh:

    The government has been subsidizing on fuel prices, i.e they've been spending money, not making it...

    The government is raising fuel prices to reduce the burden of the subsidy, i.e they want to spend less, but they're still not making money off of it...

    The government claims that the savings from the price increase will go towards improving public transport systems etc. for the good of all...

    ...but...

    ...if they weren't making money of off it in the first place, where do the savings come from? Aren't they still just spending money, albeit less than before? :eh:

    I.E.

    Doesn't that mean there will BE NO savings, i.e. they're just making empty promises to attempt to placate consumers in the wake of this price increase? :eh: :eh: :eh:







    [of course my reasoning is flawed, just felt like saying all that just for the sake of it... :p]
