Mail Money reports that sources have indicated petrol diesel prices might be raised as much as 20 sen and 10 sen a litre respectively next month, which is only 1 day away!
Currently RON97 petrol goes for about RM1.62 a litre, so after the increase it should be about RM1.82 a litre. My Satria’s (RIP -_-“) full tank should cost about RM81.90 to fill up if the price increases.
The increase if put into effect would save the government RM1 billion in subsidies.
