The title of the post says it all.. Just calculated my travelling expenses. As i normally travels back to and fro between Penang & Sungai Petani every week, I'd just realised that i actually spent quite a big amount just on the toll and fuel.
So here are actually the calculations :
Toll : Penang bridge using touch & go card = RM5.60 and the 170 toll exit / sungai dua toll = Rm4.50 x 2 = RM9. Therefore the amount spent on tolls are RM5.60 + RM9 = RM14.60

Fuel : My car usually used up RM30 ringgit fuel for to and fro between Penang & Sungai Petani pertrip. However now due to the increase of fuel price of 40%, now the total fuel spent is RM42
Total for a trip = RM14.60 + RM42 = RM56.60

Therefore a total amount spent just on travelling for a month comes to a whopping RM56.60 x 4 = RM226.40 permonth

OMG.. just imagine the money spent just on travelling expenses? This excludes the maintenance of my car yet like servicing, tyres, allignment & balancing and etc... My money is really shrinking and my pocket is really drying up.....real fast...
