If taxi run by petrol, rental must be very low.........
$120 + petrol?........siao ah!!!..........
Bear in mind, not only on consumption of fuel, you also must
calculate $50 worth of petrol, how much is the return?.........
So if $50 of petrol, return only $150(I quote the higher side,
according to horse mouth, sometime lower than that), by the time
you break even(according to rental of $120), got to use another $50
of petrol again, and this will exhaust your earning in long run,
you will feel, everyday peng steering just to pump
petrol.........
2 of my friends driving Honda Airwave purely petrol, rental only
$69.xx, no problem at all, the different in rental compensate the
fuel different..........
This also apply to those high fc diesel taxi, but due to the low
cost of diesel currently, CDG at $1.16, $50 worth of diesel still
worth driving in long run..........
And some company call volume not so high, than you drive petrol
taxi di di need to empty look for pax also si beh jiak lut, if
kanna Tuas South Ave 14, OBK, empty all the way out to Jurong, eat
your petrol like hell..........
And lastly, from what I know, purely petrol driven taxi is only
for those jiak ba buy pau type TD, hu dang bo dang never mind, as
long rental low low, can use taxi to do other thing, can
liao..........
Not so jiak liat lah....My Wish run on petrol $50 can yield
$250-$280 returns liao....
According to my friend driving the Prius pte car full tank about
$100-$105 can travel 1200km-1400km
So the yield will be at least $1000-$1200 for a full tank. For
me to yield a return of $250 I only need $25 of petrol. Although a
bit higher then my Wish currently but at least can get a new
vehicle and less the hassle of pumping CNG.
