No departure fee in Singapore. Taxis are real cheap too. Enjoy the sights
and restaurants for 6 hours. But if you have to be stuck in an airport for
6 hours, this one must be one of the best airports for it to happen. They
have cinema, supermarkets, hotels (rooms by the hour) showers and many, many
duty-free shops.

As I recall, when you take the free tour you remain in customs
"quarantine"
and no formalities or airport fees are incurred. If you leave by
yourself,
I suspect you may incur a departure fee when you return.

The tour will kill a few hours. But as others have stated, there are
enough
[shopping/eating/movie] activies at the airport to keep you busy for 6
hours. Possibly even some free internet terminals.
