Transferring of petrol from bike to car


Since the price of petrol was sky high, I have been transferring petrol from my bike to my car. The price of petrol in Malaysia is RM1.92 per liter whereas in Singapore it is S$1.90 per liter. With the exchange rate at S$1 to RM2.30, I am actually paying less than half the price for petrol even after incorporating the toll charges on both sides. I save about S$80 per months on petrol.

I am using a plastic pump costing S$1.50 bought from a DIY shop and a 5 liter plastic container to transfer petrol. First I suck the petrol from my bike into the container and then I suck it into my car. This way I know how much petrol I transfer each time because the container capacity is 5 liter.

The only downside is when I am transferring the petrol, people give me a weird look as though I am stealing petrol or I am being so low class. Therefor nowadays I transfer the petrol in the afternoon on weekdays, usually on Friday after I woke up.

I have no other choice because the standard of living is so high and I have to save whenever possible. In fact our home air conditioner setting was increase from 25 degrees Celsius to 26 degree Celsius to cut down on our electricity bill.
