-
Grand Opening by early August , before National Day .
-
If u guys dunno where ?
It's next to Secom , next to the Popular Bookstore HQ .
To be exact , what i know , the road is called Toh Guan Road East , but dunno why they called it Toh Tuck Link , so far away from Toh Tuck Link .

mentor...tell more how cng.
for sonata we go by mileages. what about Man U red wish? also by mileages.
-
Almost everything same .
How to explain ?
Mileage just like any other taxis .
Maybe u are asking , one counted in per/kg and diesel ny per/L .
1kg of CNg $1.46 equal to $1.02 per litre
Wish is a bi-fuel , 2 fuel system .
They must be started by petrol , and after 2 seconds , the elctronic component will switch the engine to CNG .
-
The cng indicator is something like that .The led under the IMPCO is the on/off . When it's off , it's red , or else it's green .
The 5 leds are the level , for mine , just 4 leds .

Our fuel tank is located at the boot . -
Toyota Felder CNG valve is at the boot . Near the tank
Wish one is inside the front engine ,
This is a valve . -
CNG is known to be gas form , so it cannot be counted as litres .
Diesel is liquid form , so litres come in as a standard .
-
Diesel per litre is $0.88 .
CNG also can be calculated by litre , a conversion , as in $1.42/kg = $1.02 per litre
-
Hmm ... the ideal tank should be in square or rectangualr in shape .Then our boot will be more spacious .
But SGP the regulation is like this cylinder only . -
i mean not plastic square cylinder , but metallic one .
-
This is how the Toyota Wish's CNG mixer system regulator the design is like . -
Once the vehicles runs on cng , it will be all CNG until 270km maximum .
The indicator will blink ....from the 220km mark , when then cng is coming into low . U have 50km to refill the cng before it switch automatically to petrol .
Before it switch to petrol , it will give u a alarm , Titi-titi-titi-titi-titi .....
-
Same , at the end of the day , i refill both fuel .
Same i write mileage book in km .
Just like diesel lor ... diesel is harmful to our health , CNG not much an hazard to health , less CO2 and CO3 omissions .
CNG is about GREEN !!!
-
But quite bizzare , a mystery for me , still trying to figure out , i top-up almost $5-$8 in petrol even if i do not use it !!!!
Ok for to start the engine , basket start engine per half shift need 4 litres of petrol ???
I suspect when the CNG indicatior starts to blink , it might just indicating to us : " CNG is dry , now u are on petrol !!! "
Fair enough , if i finish all my last 50km of CNG when blinking , it's about $8 .
-

$22 per day , to subsidised for their petrol .
-

cheaper than diesel .For relief is slightly more expensive .
For hirer , they have rebates , so the rebates still overall much cheaper than diesels .
250km , i paid about $18 . Diesel is about $22 some paid .
270km , usually about $19 , i round up , got cents .
For diesel , u paid about how much ???? 270 x $0.88cents = $23.76 ????

My expenditure each day .
Rental $45
CNG $18
Petrol $8
Total : $71 .
I compared to Sonata
Rental : $52 ( average )
Diesel : $22
Total : $74
Quite similiar , CNG got slight trouble topping up , diesel all the way .

Toyota Wish Hirer , overall i think will be more comfortable than Sonata hirers .
In terms of monetary rewards .
Their rental $100 , some sonata $105 .
Benefits each month $712 . Comfort : NON .
NCB $600 , Comfort same .
Free rental : 4 days all same .
Like when i was a Sonata hirer , 4 months i get $300 maximum .
One year i got $1200 .
Now Wish hirer gets free rental 4x$100 = $400
benefit $712 x 12 = $8544
ncb : $600
total : $9544
Wish $9544 against Sonata $1200 ......
Comfort what the fuck , right ?
-
If 270km i paid $19 , as in 19/270 = $0.07 .
CNG per/km consumption , if i am not wrong , $0.07 cents per km .
Only Merc CDI can match , Sonata cannot .
-
Then next mth start , Toh Guan refilling centre operates , it'll shorten my journey for refill , and with 40+ pumps , it'll cut off all those Q's , and save time as well .
For me , good bye Mandai , Hello Toh Tuck !!!!
-
But my Wish , the fuel consumption meter , indicated to me , on average 8.5km/L .
-
Maybe that indicator for petrol , but , got difference meh ? This one i dunno .

Good news ....
An important news for CNG lovers ....
In fact , what my hirer told me , Jalan Buroh SPC refilling centre and Jurong Island Sembawang CNG , is close for safety reasons , it's not true .
They are open .
SPC Jalan Buroh 2 pumps , 24 hours , rate is second lowest , @$1.25 per kg .
Jurong island is cheapest , @ $1.15 per kg . But without Jurong Island working personnel in our cab , cannot go in and refill . Ridiculous restrictions .
