I guess once sewer oil is used for all planes then restuarants will start using something real nasty.

but you have to admit that having a petrol card is very handy,,not only don't you have to wait for change,,or a receipt,,but if the staff aren't awake you just fill up yourself and save yourself a lot of time and frustration,,plus often there are self serve pumps that are almost always available.

Apart from the Fapiao I read that Chinese need a local resident document (if they dont have a Kunming hukou), I got mine registered with a passport but not sure if they need more proof of residence from foreigners now.

Have you tried getting the bike registered in Anning, Songming or Qujing (Not part of Kunming city,,maybe easier) But still you cant ride in Kunming within the 2 ring.

Or you could cough up 15K (about) and try to buy an old YunA plate.
