The price of RON 97 petrol has gone up 5 sen to RM2.80 per litre. The last price change for the premium fuel happened two months ago, when the price was dropped by 10 sen to RM2.75 per litre.
RON 95 petrol remains at RM2.10 per litre and diesel at RM2.00 per litre. Unlike RON 95 and diesel, the pricing of RON 97 is minimally subsidised and claimed to be derived by market forces, so price changes happen more often than the other two fuels.
While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.

Must thank BN and MAI for this. This year, good year. Electrik naik, Toll naik, Minyak naik, Assessment naik, TNB Green Energy Fund also naik, pasar all vege naik as of yesterday.
One must be stupid to vote BN when Malaysia is considered one of the richest resources country in the world. No other country come close to our natural resources. If got no stealing and crony money, Malaysia’s wealth surpasses UK or Singapore.
Minyak also, PETRONAS discovered the largest oil field in the world 2 years ago. The largest in the world! Next day, story covered up.
Actually when it all went to hell the 1st time that RON 95 vs. 97 subsidy reduction happened, this has been mooted again and again (either or = kill off 97’s subsidy altogether OR as you’ve described) by the rakyat you name it; from the kedai kopi class analysts to real world economists.
But of course we have some “world class defying” brainiacs in the G-unit when it comes to this.
This proves on how critical the government financial situation is. Forget about PIDM. I am more afraid of the bankruptcy of PIDM and the gang than the bank itself.
True or not Rn 97 based on market force… in assuie the petrol station price changed daily… that’s what we call follow market. In malaysia price remain high or raise even the global oil price drop….
Is the raise hint out gov to raise Ron 95 and Diesel soon? Since price raise is the current trend.. thanks to our barang naik government…
looks like i have to reduce the usage of my high output vehicles at least for a while and concentrate on diesel.
even though it will ‘kill’ me on a heavily congested road.
Petrol will increase price later for sure.
But on long distance I do found the RON97 perform better with similar millage as per RON95. Even though putting in the same price purchased.
No issue ……??? If your think expensive pour water…..n u got more mileage…….ur ron 97 will go further applicable to ron95 pour water….n get extra mileage…haha…bnyak syiok lge got new mercedes..
I like the fact that the author of the article included the sentence ‘claimed to be derived by market forces’ as there is no clear transparency on how the price is being made up from our ‘lovely’ federal government.
My last tank of 97 was just last weekend. It was fun while it lasted.
Very soon Ron95 will go up as well. If it does, its time to switch back to 97 (or looking at how bad things are going, stop driving all together…LOL), since without subsidies, prices of 95 and 97 isn’t a whole lot different.
Vios is kind of a ‘cheap’ car as well isn’t it. It’s practically the most dull and basic car you can buy if you don’t want a local make but can’t afford anything too expensive.
I just switched to Caltex Techron 95 today, and it really surprised me. My car has been improved with better performance in tems of smoother acceleration, better pick up,and good fuel consumption. I would say it almost on par with others Ron 97. Just try it out guys and who knows can save us some bucks for those who use Ron 97 regularly. My 2 cents guys . Happy driving !
But have you consider the salaries and wages that people in Singapore and UK obtained monthly as compared to here in Malaysia?
While I was furthering my PhD studies in the UK, I did a part time job as a cleaner, working for 3 hours for 5 days a week, the salary that I got was almost RM2,000 monthly (if converted), which was more than enough for a student over there. End of 4 years, I even managed to buy a luxury car and brought it back to Malaysia, without having to borrow a loan.
