For the benefit of those who are driving into Penang, or renting a car there, here's a list of petrol stations in Penang. Please feel free to print it out for your own personal, non-commercial use. And what's more, if you want this in pdf, it's available here!
You can pinpoint the exact location of each petrol station listed by keying in the latitude and longitude coordinates in Google Earth. I think this is as good as it gets without having to resort to GPS.
In the above Google Map, I have also indicated the location of many of the petrol stations. Not all. I am still identifying them, and I'd appreciate your help. Scroll through the map. If you find locations where petrol stations ought to be there, write to me and tell me the location. I'll add them in.
I love Google Earth
Throughout this website, you will find that I use Google Earth very often to pinpoint precise locations of places I describe. For example, I may provide location details such as Latitude of 5°22'8.37"N and Longitude of 100°15'40.00"E. You can go to Google Earth and key in 5°22'8.37"N, 100°15'40.00"E and see precisely where the place is located on earth. It is easy, fun, mersmerizing and informative!
