Here is the key points of a survey report of car owners, as reported in the newspaper.
* Only 1% of Singaporeans bother to learn about fuel economy of their car, ie how many kilos can be driven for 1 litre of petrol. This is among the lowest in the countries surveyed.
* Only 25% of Singaporeans bother about the impact of cars on the environment, compared to 60% in the other countries.
Lesson: After paying so much for the upfront cost of owning a car, Singaporeans are more concerned about the convenience of using the car. They do not bother about fuel economy. Maybe it does not make much difference, after paying for the ERP charges?
