Fuelling in JB

[ngsoonle]

Hi, would like to know if anyone goes over to JB to refuel regularly?
I drove to JB for the first time last Sat and realized many Singapore cars topping up at the Shell station just after the Malaysian checkpoint.
I thought there are rules saying Singapore cars can only top up around 55km after the checkpoint?
Or are they disregarding the rules? Or are the 'rules' scrapped already?
One more question is what is a good time to go over during Sat and Sun just for refuelling? Maybe can add in some supper or whatever?
I stay in Woodlands so no excuse not to go right? Heehee..
Thanks for any help given!

55km rule is the stupid m'sia fickle minded

change here change there, juz like their white card shiit

in the end they simply raised the price, non-m'sian vehicles will pay unsubsidised petrol, no more distance rule


BUT, even at unsubsidised rate, still cheaper than SG.. so u can imagine how much the gov is taxing the petrol

One more thing I like about going there is the car wash. I get a crappy slipshod car wash at Caltex for around S$7.
Over there, it's RM$8 car wash including vacuuming. Pretty sweet...

if u go at 3 to 4 am on weekdays when Customs are not so alert, near empty tank also no problem.

Don't go during weekends, causeway jam.

Dun forget to shake your car to get more petrol in.

Huh? Got unsubsidised meh? If you're talking about the more expensive fuel due to the recent raise in prices, thats because of the introduction of RON95 petrol.

Guys, if you want to be hero and violate the rules of not having 3/4 tank rule, pls keep low profile and dun post it openly hor.

All petrol prices in JB are for anyone and everyone, no discrimination of who is Malaysian and who is not.

If anyone thinks its generally OK to have your fuel gauge between half and 3/4 tank markings, please pray for a lenient officer if checked, otherwise, its $500 fine and turn you back to top-up.

The distance rule exists but not enforced. Will you be surprised if you know the Shell petrol kiosk is owned by a prominent public figure in JB?

Check onemotoring website for updated images for Causeway and Tuas CP road jam conditions.
For weekdays:
Best time to go in JB between 10am to 3pm, and after midnight.
Best time to get out from JB is between 10am to 4.30pm, and after 1am.
Weekends: Try your luck, heng suay situation.
