When the government announced the latest pricing for diesel, truck and bus drivers were racking their brains to think of the coming challenges. It was a bad news for most of them.
With the diesel now RM3.35 per liter, who wouldn’t feel the pain?
A Malaysian Myvi driver, on the other hand, decided to give his car a dose of diesel. Regular car drivers typically go for RON95, which is currently still set at RM2.05 per liter. In a viral Facebook post by Meanwhile in Malaysia, a Myvi driver is seen pumping diesel into his car at a local gas station.
Yes, it’s the black nozzle, not the yellow one.
Why would the Myvi driver happily pump diesel into his car? No one knew, but the page jokingly remarked,
“Black nozzles are for diesel, and Myvi uses petrol. You can try but standby RM200 to pay a happy mechanic to come fix.”
In this case, we genuinely wish RM200 is sufficient to pay for the maintenance fee should any damages happen.
More expensive = more power?
Social media users were also baffled to see the act of the said Myvi driver, and many couldn’t fathom how the black nozzle could fit into the fuel tank.
A user shared a “theory” he has heard about some cars that were modified for diesel, including our very own king – Myvi.
Another user shared his understanding of diesel and why the Myvi driver used it for his car.
“He’s used to using diesel when he was driving a 4X4. Now that he has changed to a different car, he forgot that he was supposed to use the petrol.”
Other social media users assumed the driver was thinking that the most expensive fuel was equivalent to a higher power.
“I know diesel is expensive now, and I guess he wanted to show that he could afford it.”
We strongly advise non-diesel users to avoid trying this, unless you don’t mind spending a load of money to fix the damage.
