March 2018 week one fuel prices – petrol and diesel up

After two weeks of fuel-related cheer, it’s back to an increase in weekly fuel prices, with both petrol and diesel pump prices impacted in this week’s price adjustment.

From tomorrow, March 1, RON 95 petrol will be priced at RM2.20 per litre (up three sen from RM2.17 per litre last week), while RON 97 will go for RM2.47 per litre (up four sen from RM2.43 per litre last week).

The price of diesel has also gone up – Euro 2M will retail for RM2.18 per litre (up five sen from RM2.13 last week). As such, Euro 5 diesel, which commands a 10 sen premium over regular diesel, will be priced at RM2.28 (previously, RM2.23 per litre). These prices will be in effect until March 7, when the next set of fuel price adjustments will be announced.

This week’s fuel price announcement is the 49th since the weekly system took effect at the end of March 2017. The current price of RON 95 petrol is 10 sen lower (from RM2.30 per litre) than at the start of the programme, while RON 97 is 13 sen less (from RM2.60). Diesel, meanwhile, is two sen lower than it was then (from RM2.20 per litre).

      Malaysia is an oil producing country. For an oil producing country, we sell our processed oil too expensive.

      All other oil producing countries sell their processed Ron super cheap for their rakyat.

      Infact Singapore, petrol is cheaper than Malaysia considering Singaporeans earn 7x more than Malaysians.

        Malaysia fuel price should be aligned with Brunei, an oil producing country in the region

  • TOKYO, Feb 27 – U.S. oil prices rose for a fourth session on Tuesday to near a three-week high hit a day earlier, supported by signs of robust production curbs by OPEC and non-OPEC countries and a slight fall in U.S. production.

    U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude for April delivery was up 10 cents at $64.01 a barrel by 0020 GMT. The contract hit $64.24 on Monday, its highest since Feb. 6.

      Paul Tan, is there a better way to do your Thumbs up system. Too many people abusing your thumbs up system. Can we implement some form of restriction?
