NGV

Mom’s here in Egham. Picked her & bro + sis-in-law ku yg cun macam Hamidah Wahab tu at 1710. No one was waiting at the customs – so macam biasa, lalu buat derk aja. At home, Mom regretted not bringing in more ikan bilis etc. Amboi, mentang2 la tak kena caught. Also thank you Wan for the rempeyek & botok2.

Lagi mau sumbat!

My bro in KL asked me whether he should add NGV tank behind the Honda Accord buruk (which I left to him).

Well, lets do abit of calculation:

TOTAL FUEL COST

Fuel/litre = RM2.70
Milage per month = 2,000 km

Assumption:

• To & fro work: 60 km x 25 working days (including merewang at Mid Valley Mega Mall, makan sup Sururi, futsal nights at Sportsbarn) = 1,500 km
  
• Balik kampung once a month = 500 km (assume KL – Kuantan – KL)
• Total milage per month = 2,000 km
  
• 1 litre can go 12 km
  

Fuel usage = 2,000 km / 12 km per litre = 166.7 litre per month
Total fuel cost = 166.7 litre x RM2.70 per litre
= RM450 per month

TOTAL NGV COST

NGV/litre = RM0.68
Total NGV cost = 166.7 litre x RM0.68 per litre
= RM113 per month

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PETROL & NGV PER MONTH
RM450 – RM113 = RM337
or 75% savings.

Ooops! Not yet.

NGV conversion kit range from RM3,000 and RM3,500 (so said Buletin TV3)
Assuming higher demand, and kedai ketuk to the max, lets take RM3,500 as the basis for calculation.

Dividing the Conversion kit cost with the savings, we get = RM3,500 / RM337 per month = about 10 months

This means, the breakeven would be reached in 10 months. After that, pure savings of RM337 per month. Of course, if your car is about to die in the 11th month, fogeddaboudit lah.

Now, what can I buy with that RM337?
