Still hoping to sort out a review of my hire car but in the mean time, petrol in Malaysia was/is 2.08 Ringgits (RM) per litre. This seems to be a fixed, government-dictated price at all petrol stations.
At approx 5.1 RM to the pound, that's about 41p/litre which makes it the cheapest fuel I have put into a car for many years!
Plenty of interesting stuff from Honda and Toyota on the roads too, especially Honda with vehicles such as the Vezel, BR-V, Airwave, Freed, Shuttle, Odyssey, Accord and a few more. No wonder their European sales are in such decline when we get a miserable selection of their vehicles.
Our taxi from Changi airport to hotel in Singapore was a Toyota Vellfire, a sort of up-market Alphard MPV. The local Camry looked totally different from the one I had as a hire car in California last October.
No doubt Ben can provide more info on the Asian car market models, but they definitely prefer "sedans" to hatchbacks out there. I didn't see too many SUVs, as MPVs still seem to be more desirable out there, however I did see one rather fetching purple Porsche SUV, I think it was a Macan but it had no name badges on it.
I also saw in Singapore a couple of Lamborghinis, an orange McLaren and a Maserati.
My mum's distant relatives met us at our hotel in a blue Renault Megane R-line, the only Megane I saw in 3 days in Singapore
