AsiaOne Motoring – 3/4-tank rule for CNG cars from Sunday


Dateline 2011-12-28:

OWNERS of cars which run on compressed natural gas (CNG) will soon have to pay more for their fuel. They will also have to comply with the three-quarter-tank rule when travelling into Malaysia.

A 20 cents per kg excise duty on CNG will be levied at all gas pumps from Jan 1, a move announced in Budget 2009.

CNG car owners will still pay less duty than petrol-vehicle owners, who pay 41 cents per kg in duty for most grades of petrol.

The three-quarter-tank rule, which currently applies only to petrol vehicles registered in Singapore, will also apply to CNG cars from Jan 1, said Singapore Customs yesterday
