Hey fellows! Remember the long queues and pump anxiety over fuel subsidy changes?
Fortunately, those days are over for RON 95 and diesel users. But for RON 97 users, the story is a little different.
This guide breaks down the latest petrol price update for RON 95, RON 97 and diesel, along with some money-saving tips for navigating the petrol world in Malaysia.
We'll also find out if switching to another fuel or car might be a good option for you.
Consider it your gas price pro!
Fuel update (as of 20/06/2024):
* 95 RON: 2.05 RM (no change)
* 97 RON: 3.47 RM (no change)
* Diesel : RM3.35 (unchanged)
Wow, 97 RON is still expensive! Should I give it up?
Maybe! But wait a minute.
Before you swear off RON 97 forever, consider this: the fuel your car needs depend on the performance of its engine.
Using the wrong type of fuel can damage your car and your wallet in the long run.
Here's a quick tip: Check your car owner's manual or contact a trusted mechanic to determine what fuel is recommended for your vehicle.
If your car doesn't require RON 97, switching to RON 95 can result in significant savings!
You can use the table provided to see the price difference between 95 RON and 97 RON (consider adding a link to Malaysia's official petrol price data source for the most up-to-date information).
RON 95 vs. RON 97: What's the Difference Anyway?
The main difference between RON 95 and RON 97 is their octane rating.
This value indicates the resistance of the fuel to knocking (knocking is the unpleasant pinching sound you sometimes hear from your engine).
Higher octane fuels can withstand higher compression ratios, which can result in better efficiency for some engines.
But here's the thing: Most modern cars are designed to run well on RON 95.
So, unless your car specifically requires RON 97, you probably won't lose any performance.
Thinking beyond the pump: could a diesel car be right for you?
Although diesel prices can vary, they are often less than 95 RON.
Diesel engines are also known for their fuel efficiency.
However, there are a few things to consider before making the switch.
Higher upfront costs: Diesel cars are usually more expensive than petrol cars.
Maintenance Costs: Diesel engines may require more frequent maintenance than gasoline engines? Remember that the most suitable type of fuel depends on the needs of your car and your driving habits.
Bonus tip. Consider using fuel economy apps to find nearby gas stations with the best prices. There are also programs that help you monitor your fuel consumption and determine what needs to be improved.
We hope this information will enable you to navigate the Malaysian petrol landscape with confidence!
