Comments from Netizens
Here are what some netizens have to say about the man’s post:
- Download motorist app to keep track of your preferred fuel and gas station. They’ll inform u the moment price goes up.
- You always have the option to see the price at the pump before pumping. Just that you chose not to.
- Lol. Actually.. why not just start your own oil company from researching for locations, drilling, shipping, refining and lastly to petrol pump. Closed chain and not obliged to sell internationally, only to yourself. Then you can dictate your prices for your petrol forever!
- There’s a App showing the price of all petrol station in Sg. Anyway not advisable to pump the cheapest grade. End up you use more petrol. Firstly there’s no power. Secondly more carbon build up. Need servicing earlier than estimated. Use 98 better.
