<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the climax of a romantic flick, the will-they-wont they\nsuspense on what the retail price for fuel at the pumps for this week came to a\nconclusion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Ministry of Finance announced today evening that the\npump retail price of RON95 Petrol would be RM1.93 \/ liter, RON97 Petrol at\nRM2.23 \/ liter, Euro 2M Diesel at RM2.04 from midnight today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That means if you were to fuel up a 50 liter fuel tank with\nRON95 petrol, you would save RM13.50 with the new fuel prices. So what better\nway to celebrate the drop in fuel prices by contributing to the nation\u2019s\neconomy by setting off on a quick weekend road trip? Here are 5 locations we\ncan suggest, ranging from just a 3 hour trip to an overnight stop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raub \u2013 Fish Head Curry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Raub is a quiet gold mine town which is surrounded by Durian\ncountry. It may not be the season for Durians but you can stop by the Chammang\nwaterfalls in Bentong or head over for some nice Fish Head Curry at the Ratha\nCurry House in Raub. We had a blast when we followed Karamjit Singh here in a\n740Le. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fraser Hill \u2013 Mountain air and Durian<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So this may be a getaway for some cool air and picturesque\nviews instead of food, Fraser Hill\u2019s is one of the closest hill stations to the\nKlang Valley for city folk to unwind. Your journey is greeted by the Sungai\nSelangor dam in KKB and it gets windy and twisty until you reach the top of the\nhill. The road is a drivers delight, except for one or two patchy surfaces, and\nyou can choose to come back via Raub and Bentong if you\u2019re feeling adventurous.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jerantut \u2013 Patin Sungai<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Deep in the heartland of Pahang, the town of Jerantut is the\nfirst landing point of the Pahang river after exiting the Taman Negara\nvicinity. Its famous for one distinct produce, the Patin fish. This river fish\nis best enjoyed ala \u2018masak tempoyak\u2019 and its most sought after at this region.\nThe scenic village and valley lined roads that lead to Jerantut which we\ncovered in Episode 5, is just the right type of bonus one needs! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Penang \u2013 Nasi Kandar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What kind of road trip list would this be if we did not\ninclude Penang? From Cendol to Char Kuey Teow, and arguably some of the best\nfood in Peninsular Malaysia, its worth heading over to Penang this weekend for\na foodie\u2019s trip. Since more is saved for every tank of fuel, you have more to\nspend on the food there. And if you were to follow the B roads like we did when\nwe took the Peugeot Traveller to Penang, you save a whole lot on tolls too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

East Coast \u2013 Traditional Malay seafood<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It may be the monsoon season on the east coast, but for some\ngreat traditional Malay food you cannot do better than the East Coast. Our first\nforay to the east was with the 500Nm Chevy Colorado Sport truck. You could get adventurous\nand venture inland to Tasik Kenyir for a day trip. Or you could head down to\nKuantan and make your way to KL after putting up a night at these places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well whichever destination you should choose, just be safe,\nbuckle up, and make sure you do not harm other road users, like cyclists. Even\nif they were to break the road rules, we do not subject them to harm, we are\nnot Singaporeans. Stay safe and enjoy the fuel prices. <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
