			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got the first sniff of the news of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_price_increases_since_2003" title="Oil price increases since 2003" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink">petrol prices</a> going up yesterday night after <span class="rbIntLinkText">Ismail Rehearsals</span> from Joe, who got it from someone else from <a href="http://www.mmail.com.my" title="The Malay Mail" rel="homepage" class="zem_slink">the Malay Mail</a>. Lots of people thought it to be a rumour but sadly &#8230;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.</p>
<p>It is absolutely ridiculous, everybody was rushing to fill up their tanks before the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price" title="Price" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink">price</a> went up and it&#8217;s a very significant rise mind you. A whopping 78 sense!!!!! OH MY GOSH!!!!! Before price was around RM1.92 per liter. Now it&#8217;s RM2.70 per liter. OH MY GOSHHH!!! We are all now poorer for it. </p>
<p>Because of the viralistic rumour, tons of people as i mentioned, rushed to any <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filling_station" title="Filling station" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink">petrol station</a> to fill up their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_tank" title="Hydrogen tank" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink">tank</a>. 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&#8230;I had to go through a jam for each of them.. sigh.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;"><a href="../wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8944.jpg" mce_href="http://aronil.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8944.jpg" rel="lightbox[pics922]" title="img_8944"><img src="../wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8944.thumbnail.jpg" mce_src="http://aronil.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8944.thumbnail.jpg" alt="img_8944" class="attachment wp-att-923 centered" height="337" width="450"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;">This was just near the mamak we always go to. Look at the cars just piling in. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;"><a href="../wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8946.jpg" mce_href="http://aronil.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8946.jpg" rel="lightbox[pics922]" title="img_8946"><img src="../wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8946.thumbnail.jpg" mce_src="http://aronil.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8946.thumbnail.jpg" alt="img_8946" class="attachment wp-att-924 centered" height="337" width="450"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;"><a href="../wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8947.jpg" mce_href="http://aronil.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8947.jpg" rel="lightbox[pics922]" title="img_8947"><img src="../wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8947.thumbnail.jpg" mce_src="http://aronil.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8947.thumbnail.jpg" alt="img_8947" class="attachment wp-att-926 centered" height="298" width="450"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;">This was the second petrol station I passed, and what do you now. Still pack!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;"><a href="../wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8951.jpg" mce_href="http://aronil.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8951.jpg" rel="lightbox[pics922]" title="img_8951"><img src="../wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8951.thumbnail.jpg" mce_src="http://aronil.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8951.thumbnail.jpg" alt="img_8951" class="attachment wp-att-925 centered" height="257" width="450"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;">Station no. 3,  A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobil" title="Mobil" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink">Mobil</a> Mart, just look at the long queue on the left lane.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;"><a href="../wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8955.jpg" mce_href="http://aronil.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8955.jpg" rel="lightbox[pics922]" title="img_8955"><img src="../wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8955.thumbnail.jpg" mce_src="http://aronil.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8955.thumbnail.jpg" alt="img_8955" class="attachment wp-att-930 centered" height="337" width="450"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;">This went on all the way to Station 4 which was just next to Mobil. A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_Oil_Company" title="Shell Oil Company" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink">Shell</a> station. Finally i got fed up fo taking pictures and concentrated more on driving safely <img src='http://www.linoralow.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;"><a href="../wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8960.jpg" mce_href="http://aronil.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8960.jpg" rel="lightbox[pics922]" title="img_8960"><img src="../wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8960.thumbnail.jpg" mce_src="http://aronil.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8960.thumbnail.jpg" alt="img_8960" class="attachment wp-att-927 centered" height="262" width="450"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;">The last station, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caltex" title="Caltex" rel="wikipedia" class="zem_slink">Caltex</a>, 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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;"><a href="../wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8967.jpg" mce_href="http://aronil.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8967.jpg" rel="lightbox[pics922]" title="img_8967"><img src="../wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8967.thumbnail.jpg" mce_src="http://aronil.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8967.thumbnail.jpg" alt="img_8967" class="attachment wp-att-928 centered" height="295" width="450"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;">And that is only reason why it looks like i&#8217;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. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;"><a href="../wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8973.jpg" mce_href="http://aronil.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8973.jpg" rel="lightbox[pics922]" title="RM2.70 per liter"><img src="../wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8973.thumbnail.jpg" mce_src="http://aronil.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/img_8973.thumbnail.jpg" alt="RM2.70 per liter" class="attachment wp-att-929 centered" height="266" width="450"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align: center;">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&#8217;m going to be so broke&#8230; Carpool anyone?</p>
