Petrol consist around 20% for the total ownership cost. Give up ownership if you need to save. Or you cannot afford to drive.

no point cheating. take it as a otw thing when u go in jb to shop. the savings are still substantial as by the time u are coming back, yr 3/4 would deplete to about half.

A picture tells a thousand words.

Could the information sign be a hint that the 3/4 rule has a 16.67% leeway and as long as vehicles entering have more than 5/8 fuel tank, they will not be fined?

how about manipulate the signal to the dashboard?

This is considered a very serious offence and will tio charged in court one. If you are holding a job, u can say bye bye to your job if kena charged. The fine may also erase your petrol savings for the past few years.

The more you go up the mountain, the higher the chances of meeting the tiger. Customs already gave many reminders on the need to have 3/4 tank, so if kena caught really not much excuses to give.

Sometimes I wonder why PHV go in pump. Let's say decent wait, 40mins one way, so maybe about 1.5 hours taken. Say pump 50 litres, savings after road toll all these maybe $40 to $50? That 1.5 hours used to take passengers can gross about $30-$40? So nett savings maybe $20? Risk reward ratio seems to be completely off.

I'm driving PHV. Hybrid car. I will go in occasionally on Monday afternoon for eat and massage. On a weekday afternoon, the earnings is nothing near $30 per hour.

My hybrid car tank only 32 litres. Go in also can't pump much. Fyi, I will go in with 3/4 tank.

So worth it or not... Hard to say.
