August 2017 week one fuel prices – petrol, diesel up

It’s Wednesday again, so here’s another fuel price announcement. Unfortunately, it’s bad news as the upward trend in fuel prices continues following an increase that was announced last week.

From tomorrow, August 3, RON 95 petrol will be priced at RM2.07 per litre (up four sen from RM2.03 per litre last week), while RON 97 petrol is priced at RM2.32 per litre (up four sen from RM2.28 per last week).

As for Euro 2M diesel, it will retail at the pump for RM2.05 per litre (up six sen from RM1.99 per litre last week) this week, while Euro 5 diesel will go for RM2.15 per litre (up six sen from RM2.09 per litre last week). These prices take effect from midnight until August 9, when the next price adjustment will be announced.

This is the 19th weekly fuel pricing update since the system’s implementation on March 30. Compared to March 2017 prices, which was before weekly pricing took effect, RON 95 is down by 23 sen (from RM2.30 per litre), RON 97 by 28 sen (RM2.60 per litre) and Euro 2M diesel is down by 15 sen (RM2.20).
