In essence you exchange time for money.. And whether worth it or not depends on how much you value your time..

swee la! thats should be in the equation loh whether you value your time anot :s13::s13:

izznt this is the same argument? - so when we purchased a flat, why is the land price included in the purchase price? we only want to purchase a flat, not land mah.. :s13::s13:

the JB petrol price is cheaper than Singapore. is it really cheaper? all factors (time & petrol to travel) added into the equation? :s22:

at the bottomline.. not everything is really cheap unless stated "Pump all you want for the price of $1) :s13::s13:

Everything in life is exchange time for money.

U hire FL, also time n money. It's life

Petrol save $30, food save $20, massage save $30, car wash save $10, randomgroceries save $10-50 = $100++.

Not paying taxes to PAP = priceless.

Sad that U have this kind of mindset.
Should support your own country rather than others.
You should be better off staying there to enjoy all cheap stuffs n a flicker minded govt.

If everyone dont pay taxes like you, do u think u have a smooth ride to reach JB? Think wisely.

Should also include the time spent and additional fuel for going in, out, jams etc,

Time spent is 45mins? And it should be those odd hours timing.
45mins-1hr save $30? You all decide if it is substantial.

So calculative, like that no need to say. Just stay put and pump in Sinkapore la. Talk for what?

Some people feel a sense of satisfaction for being able to save money
Some people can't earn as much as the amount saved over the same time spent
Some people like to save money while at the same time,go sightseeing and experience different things

Unless you earn over thousands/hour else i doubt you have any say why those people want to waste their time going to malaysia.
P.S even bankers take a break on weekend

In my opinion, nothing is indispensable with or without money.
If money can buy, I will buy it in Singapore.
If money cannot buy, I will dispense with it.

My decade-long self-imposed ban into JB continues.:o

Amazing how far this thread continue.
Many always get excited discussing about "JB petrol price"....
Started with their experience of this and that...but so?
Everyone has their own lifestyle etc etc so why bother to explain so much?

Anyway back to such question again;
'Is JB Petrol Really Cheaper??'

The answer is: YES.

Official Petrol Price Malaysia (RON95, RON97 & Diesel) price is announced by government on every Friday !
Official Petrol Price Malaysia for 2 -8 March 2019 :

RON95 : RM2.08 (No Change)

RON97 : RM2.43 (Up RM0.05)

Diesel : RM2.18 (No Change)

Don't think I need to convert this back to Sgd to show that Malaysia's fuel price is cheaper?

Spot check was random or for every car going in during that period?
