My contract ends this May, considering to throw key because
fed-up with the CNG mileage and the unstable cost of CNG.
I approximate an extra $8 a day in fuel costs compare to diesel
driven taxis. Consumption of Wish not good (no power so step
harder) and have to switch to petrol when gas runs out.
But Wish is still the cheapest auto shift taxi and relatively
new (2 litre), comparable to Crown in terms of rental. That's why I
can OMO..........so far.
Can anyone here good in maths and did their sums, does the
incentives counteracts the higher fuel operating costs and maybe
still make it all worthwhile. If not throw key liao!
I only have old numbers taken from here and there in the forum.
Got no new data after the CNG adjustment. The rental (after deduct
incentives) from Transcab is comparable to the Crown, only the
mileage differs.
In summary (approx)
Crown (Diesel) $0.11 per km
Wish (CNG/Petrol) $0.13 per km (old data)
Wish (Petrol only) $0.16 per km (doubtful)
I am trying to compute whether to take up Wish. But, everybody
throwing key, sibei sian ah.
The feeling is like people coming out from the buffet hall,
and I am trying to push my way in. All the good food already eaten.
Now hoping the chef will bring out some good dishes, but the hope
is very frail.
