I got a news flash from The Star’s SMS alert regarding a petrol price hike effective from Tuesday onwards, which is tomorrow. The journey home was pretty jam packed, with queues at every petrol station over-pouring onto the main roads. The price increase is 30 cents per litre for both petrol and diesel as well as 30 cents per kilogram for LPG.
Petrol prices are now RM1.92 per litre for RON97 petrol and RM1.88 for RON92. Diesel is RM1.58 per litre now. The more premium RON97 petrol Shell V-Power is a ridiculous RM2.02 a litre now.
Fuel prices last went up on the 31st July 2005, where it was a slight increase of 10 cents for petrol and 20 cents for diesel. The prices right now are much closer to the unsubsidised price.
The 64 litre fuel tank in my car would cost me RM122.88 to fill up now. With about 6-8 fill-ups a month… I’ve pretty much dug my own grave, jumped in it, and sealed it all up with cement and built a crypt in the shape of a petrol station around it. Millions of years later I would have turned into oil and you can pump me into your vehicles. Kthxbai.

Comments express frustration over the recent petrol price hike to RM1.92 for RON97, highlighting its impact on daily expenses and national economy. Many criticize the government for not utilizing Petronas profits effectively and for passing costs onto consumers through rising fuel prices, tolls, and living costs. There’s considerable support for more fuel-efficient vehicles, hybrids, and alternative fuels, though concerns about taxes and subsidies persist. Several suggest boycotting certain companies or reducing car usage to protest the increase, while some emphasize the need for better public transportation. Overall, sentiments lean towards disappointment with government management, anger at inflation’s toll on lower-income Malaysians, and calls for urgent reforms and transparency.
