It’s now official. The government had announced this on the news somewhere around afternoon I guess. Starting after midnight tonight the petrol price will be increased to RM2.70 per litre and diesel will be increased to RM2.58 per litre (official source from utusan). That’s a lot of increase! About 80 sen of difference! The largest increase I think! They said before that it will not put any heavy burden towards consumers but I really think it did.

Well obviously by now until midnight, petrol stations will be heavily crowded because of this. Just when I was driving on the way back home (using KL-Seremban highway route), I was ABLE TO NOTICE that all of the petrol stations that were located just beside the highway were extremely occupied. There were an extremely long queue line of vehicles that I think may reached to several kilometres too. Heck it even caused the traffic to move slowly, how could I not notice? :[

Sorry for the blurred pics. Just happened to pass by a Petronas Station at Serdang and just snapped pics as I was moving along in the crawl.

Thought of filling my tank to full too but I guess I’ll just have to pass it. Too many vehicles just makes it too hectic for me. Furthermore I see no point of filling fuel early just before the price increase, unless if you’re keeping a large stock of it and plan to sell it at updated price, that’s another story.
