  Do you strictly run on CNG? How often you pump CNG? Once a day? Nearby kiosk then pump? Or goes a few days on petrol until reach pump?

  For me only pump when nearby. If not run petrol. Not economical to rush down to pump if too far. The time taken and savings can be recover if you take one or two trips. Agree?

  How near then is considered NEARBY? for me, at least must be at bouna vista then consider go pump at toh tuck.. otherwise, the most run on petrol and end shift, if still never touch anywhere near toh tuck, then just pump at sgn north and hand over shift.. nowadays, a lot of Omos run purely on petrol and they tell me thou cost increase 10 bucks per day, their collections improved by more than 10 bucks, so to them, more worthwhile and dun need worry where paxs go.. and furthermore, running on petrol, won't have issues assocaited with running on cng, like stalling and engine shaking..

  the so call "incentive" by Transcab on Wish, is not an extra $$$ for you to pocket, it is for you to offset some extra cost by using petrol and travelling to pump cng.

  when adding time lost (mean income lost) for travelling to pump CNG............. maybe compare to merc at $159 still wu hwa

  Simple calculation leh...

  Compare cng/petrol price

  Compare cng/petrol mileage given

   Compare distance/time used.

  I find hybrid taxi is the way to go, save more petrol.

  everytime when I starts shift, travel 11km to toh tuck to fill up the CNG, then start work near clementi area. Else, if I am near toh tuck at the ending shift, fill it up then go back. Most of the time, I end up using about $10 more on petrol.

  One good advice to CNG drivers .

  Once a while , try to empty your CNG tank , like season drivers said inside got water .

  How ?

  When 99% empty , switch between CNG and petrol mode .

  when it switch to petrol , let it run a while on petrol , after a while , press CNG button back , let it reactivate the suction of CNG into the engine .

  Until 100% no more CNG inside .

  U can only do it on a moving vehicle .

  Then pump twice at C-nergy .

  U try it to see the mileage will go up after that ?

  That was what i did ... and for 2 years , my mileage never drop .

  Always remains between min. 240km to 309 km .

  Ya when run until CNG finish inside still got a bit of CNG left. Can last another 20-30mins of idling time. Good when queueing at AP. Cos when at idling less CNG is needed hence the lower the pressure needed at the injector. Save petrol when idling when you run out of gas and kanna AP then have to queue....
