3 Years on, the Delkor battery report card


This is yet another report card for Delkor battery.  This round, the 55530 (55Ah) model that I had, lasted 3 years and 2 months.  The battery had not failed completely, but the starting of the car felt sluggish.  Back in 2013, the battery cost RM300 and with 1128 days of usage, it simply translated to RM0.27/days.


This round, I bought another Delkor 56030 (60Ah), and the price now is at RM371, inclusive of GST.  Let's hope this will last for many years to come.

RON97 & RON95 is now @ RM2.10/litre & RM1.75/litre respectively


Crude oil price has been in the up trend for the past months and it is natural the pump price should follow as well.  RON97 is now RM2.10/litre and RON95 is now RM1.75/litre.  It is the Raya festive month, and costing the government a lot for disbursement of bonuses, allowing people with additional money to pay for higher petrol price.  There is always the saying that "Nothing comes free", thus don't be fooled by little sweet deal. 


Although the increase is just RM0.05/litre across the board, including diesel, and assuming during the festive month, an average vehicle owner pump 300 litres, it will be an additional RM15 for the month, and with > 1 million road users, you do the math, easy income!
