Several dilemma point after fuel hike

(i) Old Junk Vehicle? - Usually, old cars burn more fuels and the burning is not as efficient as the current production car with variable timing technology. Spare the fuel for other car to burn with more mileage? Let's uses fuels more efficiently and be considerate of safety of others on the road. The government should give more encouragement for them to upgrade to new vehicle?

(ii) New but old technology and 'least expensive' Production Vehicle? - Korean and 'Boleh Land' marques with high fuel consumption should increase the road tax rate. Probably, the government should rate the road tax by the consumption of the vehicle (kilometre per litre) instead of the engine displacement. This encourage the consumer to buy the car that really utilising the fuel efficiently instead of judging with the price tag. Removal of 'least expensive' car segment is recommended as well, to force the people to uses public transports more instead of simply owning a ride.

(iii) Lower Excise Duty for Hybrid Vehicles - BN Government should reduce the excise duty for Hybrid Powered Vehicle to encourage on fuel saving instead of exercising on 1 year rebate which doesn't help for long term.

Must important, must provide better and more efficient public transport services! instead of Naik Naik Naik, which is Pak Lah style.

Hint & Prediction: Potentially with the force of the market, slowly owning and maintaining a ride will turn strictly to the people in the loaded community only. Why not just try to stick to public transport if you think it impacts your pocket.
