Singapore Fuel Gauge Rule

In my last visit, I learned that it is illegal to attempt to drive from Singapore to Malaysia with less than 3/4 a tank of gas. The reasoning behind this law is that gasoline is much cheaper in Malaysia than it is in Singapore, and the government wants to stop its residents from driving in to Malaysia just for fueling up. Near the border, there are signs politely reminding Singaporean residents to tank up before attempting to cross.

Yet another reason I don't think I could ever live in Singapore.
