  haha.. i just collected my new ride today and i realised the newer IU ERP device now are programmed to warn you at $10 ... unlike $5 like last time.
  
  but they willl not remind you again if you go past a Gantry.
  
  and i realised also that Shell's discount is at 10% now, but price of petrol still the same. Does it mean pump prices just increased?

  so is 5 better or 10 better? i tink 5 better...the thing makes a lot of noise...
  
  nwadays petrol companies very clever, they juz fix the price of petrol...
  any increase or decrease in world oil prices, they juz adjust wif the amt of discount they give...its as though it is cheaper...

  Of course $5 better lah. But then with so many gantries now and so many ERP parking lots... i think you got $5, next think you know you get letter from LTA saying you did not pay.
  
  It's $10 now, but it doesn't give you reminder warning everytime you go pass an inactive gantry.
  
  I guess is if it hits $5, they will warn you again.
  
  the price of petrol, i dun care what the discount are. haha i just want to konw how much i will pay per litre of petrol.
  
  Damn it petrol now is really crazy. ahah when i was in Canada in 1998.. i only pay S$0.40 A LITRE!!!! Then now canada follow global trend, it's damn S$1.70/litre for a RON 87 petrol!!!!!!

  because petrol is supposed to be cheap. Just that in the case of singapore, petrol tax is 41 % if i am not wrong.
  
  back in canada before year 2000, the tax on petrol is minimal. then when it became expensive, the govt raise the taxes..
