Hi All senior and forumer,

Below is my first time relief driver as TD (for 312km):

CNG: 16.38 (@TohGuan) + 9.77 (@Mandai) = 26.15 KG ($42.88)

Petrol (Shell 95) : 17.54 litres ($34.66)

In total, my first times as relief CNG/Petrol cost $77.54 for a 312km trip.

Justified? Could it be it was switch to petrol accidentally? I was told that once Car started, it will be GAS default.

Any advise will be appreciated as driving tomorrow for the 2nd time.

Thanx a lot for viewing.....

komade SG

bro u got switch to petrol mode isit??

petrol too high liao ............

Poolman SG

Wish full tank gas is about smelly smelly 260km , some average 285km .

Say u tried 312 km , meaning u used about 27km , meaning u pump petrol about $5

what u spent should be $32 for full tank CNG and $5 petrol .

I dunno how come u pump $34.66 for petrol ?

$34.66 is for previous usage lar , u cannot count together within that 312 km .

Poolman SG

Petrol pump 1/4 tank enough .

Poolman SG

No need everytime pump petrol .... petrol mode see orange light then pump $15 should get back to 1/4 tank .

Poolman SG

if 1.8 Wish , u should be getting 220-240km per cng full tank .

Again if 312km u tried , u accessively used petrol at 92km , meaning u should pay nothing more than $18 .

Thanx for the reply.

Firstly, mine is Wish 2.0.

The first pump @ toh guan was when it left with 1 green.

The second pump @ mandai is to return Hirer. (Forgot how many green shd be 2 or 3)

All the CNG pump is no Red yet cos I scared. Furthermore I also forget how many KM I drove. (Will record this week)

As for the petrol, I pump only when I want to return Hirer cos have to pump full. To my surprise, it was so thirsty. I believe my hirer and his weekday relief nvr pump.

Thus lesson to learn,

1) Once collect taxi tomorrow, I pump both Gas and Petrol.

2) Reset my milege and monitor.

3) Once completed my trip record down will let you all view.

Initially, I also though I accidentally switched to petrol.

Thus, is there any clue or tip to ensure that it will be GAS?

Or is there any alert or alarm notification when it was switched to Petrol?

Hi Khoon,

Just in case only. Just curious how often do CNG TD had to pump petrol? Every shift end or few day once. Understand that next year all will use Petrol. Ha Ha.

Poolman SG

my previous hirer need me to pump petrol after shift .... everyday almost $3-$5 .

but my current relief i never require him to do that .

all petrol consumption on me .

My reasons was if pump full tank , vehicle got heavier , meaning cng consumption also higher .

Hi Khoon,

last time when khoon n ck on wish2.0... we keep the petrol needle at half tank...

pump once a week... cost on ck...

unless if khoon used up all the cng and need run on petrol... den top up 1 litre per km...

Poolman SG

Anyway , cng normal mileage is 100km = $12.70 , around there .

Poolman SG

Very easy to read one ..... must use to it .

One green light gone , about 60km

Left 2 green lights , about 120km .

Left 1 green , about 180km

red light 240km .

blinking red another 20-25km as reserves .

So 265km , u are going to pay $33.60 nett .

On the pump , it should be showing 20.75 of $1.70kg ( $1.27litre ) .

$35.27 . . . sometimes $36 .

Minus 7% = $32.80 .

265km divided by $32.80 , per km is $0.124 .

Poolman SG

I really cannot understand why people still think CNG is expensive ? Maybe they think one litre = $1.70 ?

Which is wrong .

$1.70 is per kg , metric conversion again , $1.27 litre per km .

Anyone paid around $30 for 300km for a Sonata ?

Kena less than 20km before !

With CNG price increase. Any idea what is estimated cost if pertol all the way?

$10-12 extra for the same 265km?
