Petronas (NGV) in Putra Heights

Last night, I saw that the NGV pump at the station has been completely installed.

I'll go check it out tonight to see if it's in operation.

If it is, this would be one of the best thing that happen in year 2009.

Update: It's up and ready, saw a few taxi refilling gas...

Spend RM4 on front left low light.

Balance of RM556.35 of expenditure on maintenance to be contra off.

Progress is faster this month due to petrol price hike.

RON97 will not costs RM2.05 per liter.

I maintain using price of RON97 even when RON95 is available at a price of RM1.80 per liter so that the variable (petrol used) in my worksheet maintain the same instead of changing from RON97 to RON95.

Also, I've heard that RON95 is not so good as the performance of the car would drop eventually increasing the frequency of pumping petrol.

Few more days and I'll have to service my car...

So, expenditure would eventually slow down the ROI.

I only hope that the service do not costs much...

Car Maintenance

So far I've spend RM2433 on car maintenance and service.

I've change some parts to ensure that the car is safer to be used.

I've also change some parts that have aged after using it for so long.

From now on, the ROI from using NGV will be use to contra with the maintenance costs of the car.

As of 1st day if year 2009, I still have RM2049.57 to contra off before enjoying the ROI on a net net basis...

I estimate it to be at most before my birthday this year...
