Seventy-farking-eight-cents

That's what came ramming through each & every brain cell of mine when i got the news of the price increase for petrol this time. seventy-farking-eight-cents increase for petrol.

After weeks of committing to the people in the country that they will not lift the subsidy for petrol and this time's increase is seventy-farking-eight-cents. Is that all they can do in disappointing the people once again?

It's not just a pinch this time. This is a hard blow to my lower jaw, and i'm still feeling the pain.

In case you don't know how big an impact this is, let me give you some calculation facts.

With my old 2nd hand run-down 9 years old proton saga, i can run a 300km with RM50 of petrol, which is roughly about 26.042 litres of petrol in my tank on the old petrol price.

Now with the increase of seventy-farking-eight-cents, and with the same RM50 of petrol, i can only get a tank of 18.53 litres of petrol. With this much petrol on my car, i can only go 213.35km.

The percentage i have to pay more just to go to work is now 40% more. i hope my boss read blogs and i most definitely hope he's reading this now and start doing something. Else i really cannot afford to go to work anymore with this petrol price leaking out my wallet.

And they are increasing another times in August? Is that true?
