I am amazed by how many enthusiast here whom are so concern about a few bucks difference in the retail price of the oil that you are using.
Explain to me, is RM3 so big comparable to your time driving around to another dealer, find another parking.. or simply got pissed and angry the guys didnt want to give you that Rm3 discount?
Distributor will give to dealer a special discount price. And normally there will be a MRSP. In every country you go, as end user, you will be sold this price. In Malaysia, unfortunately, this ethic of business is broken. Most people think they are so buddy with their mechanics that they are oblidgated to be given discount. My friends... if you are his buddy.. please remember what ever ringgit and cents they are making is from the buffer from distributor and dealers price. Why you want to make their life difficult if you are his buddy?
If you are not his buddy, why on earth should he give you discount?
Come on guys, i am not a fan of steep inflation, but believe me ... your effort and the time spend on this discussion is worth more than the RM3 discount.
One more reason the price is up is due to crude price up. Who drove it up?? you and me as a consumer. no one to blame but ourselves.
ROY!! you gonna thank me for this. :)
Ciao..
