need to q long long to pump or not??
Highway stations maybe yes but never experienced before for stations around the city. Generally, Petronas pumps around PJ/Bangsar area have low traffic.QUOTE(SportyHandling @ Dec 9 2013, 11:18 AM)
I ticked on "No I'm unsure about its reliability". Other factors that may come into play:-
1) Most diesel powered vehicles are in the higher priced bracket, not many choices.
--Lowest priced diesel car should the Ford Focus TDCI. Too bad they don't carry the same engine for the new Focus. A used BMW E90 320d is about 120-130k nowadays.
2) Price of diesel close to RON95, not too much of a difference
--Despite being only RM0.10 cheaper than the RON95, overall cost savings is huge for someone that travels alot as diesel cars provide much better milleage.
3) I notice usually there are more spills at the floor of diesel pumps, overall slightly less clean than petrol pumps. Since most diesel users are large trucks and lorries.
--Simple solution is to use a glove. No issue with that
4) Occassionally there are quotas for diesel usage at petrol stations. Sometimes diesel are unavailable. Limited to RM50 per vehicle.
--Certain stations yes. Generally only applicable to those located nearby or along the way of industrial areas. In commercial areas like PJ, only the Petronas station opposite Eastin has limited supply/quotas. Never has such experiece with the ones in Damansara Jaya, TTDI and Bangsar.
General public perception on diesel-powered cars is noisy, smelly & dirty but once I show em my monthly diesel bills & distance covered (700-800km 100% city driving OR 1000 100% highway driving, both for a 60L tank or RM120 per full tank) which can match or even better a hybrid plus the torque that can outrun most if not all hybrids anytime, they are impressed.1) Most diesel powered vehicles are in the higher priced bracket, not many choices.
