My views on the increse in petrol price

Well..as many of you know...petrol prices has just gone up!!Well...compare to other contries Malaysia is doing slighty well but RM 2.70 per litre??I don't think Malaysians will still be happy about that..

I mean....why does petrol price increase when we have years of technology gradually advancing in searching for oil well???We have the arabs...brunei....and the ocean!!Yes...the ocean contains more oil wells than the surface of the earth..yet why aren't there many sea platform to harvest this black gold..

One of the most talk-about alternatives were hybrid cars...Today I just saw a red Toyota Prius(could Malaysia starts importing this cars in the near future?).There's also the FCX Clarity which looks cool and it will be soon sale soon in the US.We even have the Honda Civic Hybrid and the soon to be developed Toyota Camry Hybrid.

About the FCX Clarity...yes...it uses hydrogen cell to move.But some diadvanteges is that processing the hydrogen needed to move this vehicle requires more energy and it isn't really that productive,besides...where on earth would we find a hydrogen station??

About the prius...It is true it is really an effictive hybrid vehicle..but what really brought it down as THE hybrid car is the styling.Don't believe me?check out the web...and many Hollywood stars are getting it,supposing to be the saviours of the world...it's beginning to look tacky owning a prius now.

Now,back to "tanah air tercinta kami",there's the new civic hybrid..but I don't think hybrid cars will be "in-thing" in Malaysia even if petrol prices are more expensive than our car itself..

Anyway...that's all I have to say for now...hopefully Petrol prices won't soar up for the near future...we have too many things increasing..except my exam marks and many people's salary...
