RON97 has been hiked to RM2.15 per litre – a small increase of 5 sen, effective today. It was last raised from RM2.05 to RM2.10 back in July 2010, when all three types of regulated fuel were hiked by 5 sen, but this time around only RON97 is affected. RON95 remains at RM1.85 per litre for now, and diesel still goes for RM1.75 per litre. I’m expecting V-Power Racing to go up by an amount as well, but I do not have any idea how much at the moment – anyone know? Please share in the comments!
