Sabahan Fuel Frenzy!

Hahaha. Who got caught in the traffic jam? I was not. I knew its coming. I filled up a day ago. Whatever it is, I still do not understand why bother to fill up your tank last night when you can only make your car sustain for 3 to 5 days from the full tank only?
Why the panic? It is different story if you really have to fill it up because your car fuel ran out already. However, if you were they just because of the announcement that the price would be hike up, I still cannot see the point of making yourself into the jam and cursing the rest for the long hours waiting. Unless you are bringing a big tanker there to fill up using the old price and you can sustain for the whole 2 weeks or full month, then, it is worth it. Just my opinion, I still think is ridiculous. Unless also you just want to join the crowd, then I can see your point. It was fun right? 
Imagine, the time and fuel wasted, idling in the traffic jam while waiting for your turn? Have you ever thought of that? The only sad thing was the people who not bother about all this, THEY JUST WANT TO GO HOME!!! Yabah, my friends and relatives all ‘kesian’. They reached home from work at around 9pm to 10pm. Imagine that! I’m talking about from work since 6pm! Wah La Weiiii !!!
See the above, almost another front page story - “Accident here and there due to Fuel Panic!”. This is indeed crazy man. I am sure all around Malaysia, there must be at least one incident where things gone out of hand. I have not read the papers yet but I bet there are stories of this nature.
Oklah, why I bother writing this topic, I also don’t know. I know i Have to fork out RM2.70 in Kota Kinabalu at the next petrol fill. If there are things like jobs in Chicago for every SPM leavers and the flight’s fee is zero, then different storylah, kan 
p/s: Sorry to all ok. I have not blog ‘hopped’ anyone’s site yet. Still stuck with my own here but thanks for commenting. You have been noticed.

mine ngam ngam have to isi and lucky me, my full memang can last 2 weeks, so it was worth the 1 hr queue

I really agree with you bro…it was my thought exactly when I saw the photo in the paper…if you fill up that night..sooner or later, you will still have to fill up your car tank according to the new rate…wasting time to queue only…

Yup..i was one of those queuing that night. Sampai jln sulaman bah i went cari station yg queue dia ada movement. Kalu bukan psl i need to fill up my tank for next day journey back to Kgau, tida jg i want to gila2 queue. Some more, there were a few stations yg itu queue mcm 1 jam baru moved 50 metres saja. Gila oh!
