Article from TheStarOnline. Price suddenly went up until so high , this means a few more years petrol will be super expensive and a few few more years later. There will be no more petrol! Now lets hope the scientist think of some new invention. Say, Solar-Energy-Operated-Car ? And of course BIODIESEL! Which will make Malaysia rich =D. Now, everyone go and fill up your cars , motors or whatever that needs petrol before midnight, Go Go Go!
