Top 10… things you can do to overcome the fuel price hike

So… petrol is now RM2.70, diesel is uhh… not RM2.70.. I think its like RM2.50 per litre or something. Whatever la. Just know that the price has increased drastically (like 40%) or something. So how can we, passive people of Malaysia overcome this? Here are the top 10 things you can do!

10. Turn off your car engine during downslopes.

9. Car-pool / hitch hike around. (This is alien to all Malaysians)

1. An arrangement whereby several participants or their children travel together in one vehicle, the participants sharing the costs and often taking turns as the driver.

2. A group, as of commuters or parents, participating in a carpool.

v.intr.

v.tr.

8. Use a battery powered car/tricycle (some are damn happening ok, dun play play)

7. Marry a rich woman/sugardaddy. Better still if he/she is an oil baron/baroness. And owns Chelsea.

6. Get a higher paying job / insist on a raise from your boss. Best line would probably like 'Boss, did you know petrol prices have increased?' followed by 'Boss, do you know my pay is still the same?' and then 'Boss, I deserve that raise or I'm leaving!' And WHEN that fails, lie on the floor, roll around and then cry.

5. Open a 'Help me get money to pay for my petrol' fund. It's a step above begging on the streets. Then again…
