i am not sure about any other hidden cost. but my aunty driving taxi got mention that it is really making driving cheaper.
but NGV tank really look like a bomb @@
not all car is suitable to use NGV though. I heard from my uncle, if you look at the Nissan serena taxi in the airport, they are definitely using petrol. Coz there are quite a number of serena engine kong after running NGV =="

Compensating the weight increase by lightening other parts of the car. The fiber tank that I am using is 58kg.

50-70% cheaper. Stations are in abundance in Klang Valley. One ngv station is walking distance from home. There is 2 more within 5km radius from my home. To pump petrol, I have to queue here at Puchong. Ngv no queue.

Mind to share where you install?

You will never be able to lose that much, unless by removing rear seats and/or replacing the hood with REAL carbon fibre hood, and strip your car completely bare of insulations and door trims.

If only u plan of using at Klang Valley. Outside of it is still rare.

One thing about using NGV is you just dont care going here & there.

Petrol will cost rm 10 for approx 50km
Ngv will cost rm 2.50 for 50km

You guys should really try it first, prolly test drive anyone's car

I've been to spain, italy & brazil, u can find NGV pump in every single gas station. They have petrol, ngv, & diesel in one station.

how bout revving with NGV? my idea is like that
since NGV gives less power, so i will rev it so hard everytime so that the power same with using petrol, and since rev more = consume more fuel/gas
so will NGV still gives better mileage?

answer is yes...

My comment still stands. If u are driving in KL with traffic jam condition, splendid! However, outside of Klang Valley is more time consuming and lots of detour.

No matter how the hell you rev, you still feel it is cheap

Of course, if there is no good facility at your place, it isn't feasible. My main motivating factor is the availability. I'm going to puspakom by this week. 25% road tax discount for low emission vehicles.

You sound like you don't go out of Klang Valley much.
Your reason is valid for you but it is not valid for me. And I didn't said ur reason is no good.

Revv like hell, you still get 110km+++ & it is still cheap.
By installing NGV you will lost 10% power & not 50%.

Added on May 15, 2012, 12:49 amHave to agree with you. It is viable if NGV station is at least 5km from home or at least on the way to office or any of your daily route.

NGV is still cheaper to begin with.

My work require me to travel quite alot, the only place that i gotta use petrol is on the northern side of the country, other than that no problemoo. Stations is growing slowly, so far KL, JB, Melaka, Penang, Perak, Negeri Sembilan no problem.

Bingo, I really don't go outstation often. Always around puchong, damansara, kl.

1 near selayang mrr2... another 1 is ipoh lumut highway... from the photo i guess the police crouching on the grass??

evryday use dis road to work....dangerous...

Doing service at COE ,ask the sa about the gear oil, he said will be using new xp3, old one no more

Is it the one near the roundabout to Jalan Ipoh? Saw it once sitting at the divider between the road.

SP3 and XP3 not much difference but it is good to get the new one.
