I got the first sniff of the news of petrol prices going up yesterday night after Ismail Rehearsals from Joe, who got it from someone else from the Malay Mail. Lots of people thought it to be a rumour but sadly …very very sadly.. it is true and the prices of petrol did go up today. When exactly? I can only assume it as 12 midnight.

It is absolutely ridiculous, everybody was rushing to fill up their tanks before the price went up and it’s a very significant rise mind you. A whopping 78 sense!!!!! OH MY GOSH!!!!! Before price was around RM1.92 per liter. Now it’s RM2.70 per liter. OH MY GOSHHH!!! We are all now poorer for it.

Because of the viralistic rumour, tons of people as i mentioned, rushed to any petrol station to fill up their tank. Even at the 11th hour, people were still rushing to fill their tanks. Well, while crossing by each station on the way home..at least 7 stations…I had to go through a jam for each of them.. sigh.

This was just near the mamak we always go to. Look at the cars just piling in.

The queue was pretty long and it was a lot worse earlier on, like around 6pm onwards. The roads were not just cluttered, but were in total chaos because everyone was squeezing in to get into the petrol stations.. sheesh.

This was the second petrol station I passed, and what do you now. Still pack!

Station no. 3, A Mobil Mart, just look at the long queue on the left lane.

This went on all the way to Station 4 which was just next to Mobil. A Shell station. Finally i got fed up fo taking pictures and concentrated more on driving safely

The last station, Caltex, was the one near my area. I had a good view of all the cars going in. I was hoping that the price would still be at RM1.92 perliter.

And that is only reason why it looks like i’m also being dumb to queue up, when my tank is only down by a quarter tank. I had already pumped a full tank yesterday.

Thats when I saw the price. CRAP! It had already gone up and this was at 12 plus in the morning. SIgh I missed the mark. Great now my petrol bill, which was around RM68 for a full tank is going to be nearly RM90.. oh my GOSH!!!! Like what the heck???? Sigh I’m going to be so broke… Carpool anyone?
