Go Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV)! Why not?

There were so many debate on world climate today. Everyone needs to play a part. Being kiasu also kiasi, there are many ways we can help the environment. One way is to go NGV! Using natural gas for your car will not only save the world but also your money!

I had asked my taxi driver who has experienced in installing of of the NGV tank. Most of the Malaysian town taxis are using NGV today. A NGV tank usually cost you around RM2K to RM2.5K. The size of the tank is around 2-3 feet. If you drive a Kenari, it will take half of your boot space!

The cost of KL-Sepang by petrol is around RM10, but with NGV it is RM4! That's a lot of money if you drive daily from KL-Sepang. The only challenge is the NGV station! Today it is limited and if you are in town, most of the time there were long Q (mostly taxis). However, I was told if you work in Sepang, the Q is lesser and won't take long to fill up your NGV!

How about long distance driving and there is no NGV station! Not to worry, On top of that, if the tank ran out, there will be an auto switch from NGV to petrol. You won't be stuck in the middle of the road.

So isn't this a good investment? Let's do a part to save OURSELVES!
