RON 97 – market float begins, price goes up by 19 sen

RON 97 – market float begins, price goes up by 19 sen

Last week, the government announced that the price of RON 97 petrol will be floated according to market prices beginning from June 7. This has been initiated according to plan, with the price of the fuel having been revised as of midnight.

As of today, RON 97 is priced at RM2.66 per litre with zero-rated GST – this is an increase of 19 sen over the RM2.47 per litre it has been at since the fourth week of March, when the last price revision of the now-defunct weekly fuel price adjustment mechanism was carried out. The price will be in place till June 13, and there will be RON 97 price announcements made every week.

The price adjustment for RON 97 should also result in related movement for unregulated fuels such as Petron Blaze 100, which was priced at RM3.08 per litre, and Shell V-Power Racing, which was priced at RM3.12 per litre at the last known juncture.

UPDATE: Shell V-Power Racing has had its retail price at the pump increased to RM3.36 per litre, an increase of 24 sen from before. Petron Blaze 100 remains priced at RM3.08 per litre at this point.

There is of course no change to RON 95 and diesel prices, which remain fixed in line with the government’s stand on the matter – RON 95 continues to be priced at RM2.20 per litre and Euro 2M diesel at RM2.18 per litre, while Euro 5 diesel is priced at RM2.28 per litre at the pump.

      if you’re pumping ron97, you dont need the gov’s assistance.

      gov kept ron95 price steady it help low and mid income.

      high income pumping ron97 should even get any subsidy. so if you’re pumping ron97, please do your part as high income citizen and contribute to the economy instead of asking for tongkat.

      if you’re going to reply saying you’re not of high income, then stop pumping ron95. if you say you car needs ron97, means it’s a high powered car hence means you’re high income. so dont be a retard and shut up.

      Compare to Brunei ( oil producing country ) , Malaysia ( as an oil producing country ) is still much higher .

      Even Venezuela (economy is not that good) is still cheaper than Malaysia by a few times .

      When BN was in power Ron 97 was cheaper compare to PH government now.

      So Malaysia under PH government is not meant for the Slightly well to do residents. So PH government is for the poor and lower middle class population .

      The question is that what contribution does the poor and middle class population offer and can contribute to Malaysia . We know many of them do not pay tax and always want to receive goodies like a parasite to the government . Ironically, many of these poorer population tends to have the most number of children compare to those well to do . Why poor people always have more children compare to those slightly richer population , why ? why? – No family planning or just plain ignorant ( depending on government always without productivities and not living within their means)

      Without the rich and above average population , Malaysia depending on poor and middle class population cannot survive that make up the majority of the population

      So what is there to offer for the well to do population from PH government beside robbing Paul to pay John always.??

      Hope the G will stick to the timeline… ron95 must be upgrade to Euro 4 standard by Oct 2018. Make it a cleaner petrol. Better upgrade direct to euro 5.

      Most modern engines require clean petrol.. euro 4 is not even adequate anymore. Its should be euro 5 all along.

      They dont really need the higher ron petrol (ron97). Most of them will run just fine with ron95 so long it is clean (low sulphur content). They have to pump ron97 coz its the only clean fuel available.

      Ron 95 upgrade to euro 4 or 5 is essential to better air quality and reduce air pollution. When this upgrade is done, bet demand for ron 97 will go down significantly.

        Both the R18 and L15B7 (1.8 and 1.5T respectively) should be okay on 95 according to the user manual. However, the L15 should benefit a little bit from 97, though it’s up to you to decide if that little benefit is worth the extra.

        The K20C1 inside the FK8 Civic Type R is also capable of running on 95, but there’s a catch; to protect against knocking, the peak horsepower is cut by 10 metric horsepower by the ECU.

            That’s a good point. Which brings up something, actually.

            I was talking to someone from the UK who owned an Evo IX MR FQ360. He remarked that the engine ran so hot that when you stopped and shut off the engine, you could literally see the heat radiating away from the hood easily despite having a head-shield. The car also required RON98 at the minimum as he mentioned that the one time he had to use RON95 in order to get home, his car ran like crap (he put RON98 back in soon after), which is likely due to the high AKI.

            I don’t think every engine with forced-induction runs warm to the point of turning the hood into a literal grill like that Evo (though it will probably be warmer than its naturally-aspirated equivalent), but it’s a general rule of thumb that they will run quite a bit warmer, possibly due to the act of compressing the intake air, which increases its temperature (why intercoolers are used). You’re also adding strain to the engine, hence why many cars with high boost applications have beefed up cooling systems.

I think no point to lower down the diesel/ron 95 price below RM2 since, It WONT changes the currents good price already. Just keep it steady with minimal fluctuation to prevent any excuses from business/enterprise site to increase goods prices.

    These people still have no idea what high octane fuel does to your car, you dont need it unless you are redlining your engine RPM all the time and it gets hot, some cars have noticeable knocking if too hot because they actually stress the engine, you’re not even a sepang track day guy so pumping RON97 and not using your revs over 5k is PRETTY MUCH USELESS. I bet most of u plebeians only pump 97 and run less than 3k rpm because save fuel then so what for u pump 97 for? If you’re telling me you engine runs quieter on normal basis is because the fuel you’re using is less efficient in regular burning in non-stressing environment therefore you’re only wasting higher octane fuel.

    TL;DR you dont need 97 unless u stress your engine alot.

        Depends on the engine and what the manual specifies.

        Some engines run fine on 95 while others strictly need 97. However, since these engines have some form of forced-induction, a higher octane rating may actually benefit these types of engines. Not in an overwhelmingly noticeable fashion but there is a benefit

            Some older cars can get by just fine on 95 and even 91. But older turbocharged cars and high revvers would likely require higher octane.

            Another thing to add is that I know of even some much older “normal” cars that require high octane.

            Don’t know exactly why though. Higher compression at the time? Early EFI gremlins? Carbs?

            Not really too sure why that’s the case though. If it’s a performance car, it is understandable but for a standard commuter, it’s puzzling. Maybe someone who knows more can shed some light.

          • Not due to fuel requirement but cuz of old engine has more carbon builtup and long use alredi created more uneven contact which increases friction which causes more damages. RON97 has better cleaning & lubricating agents that mitigates the worse effects compared to using RON95.

      Actually, RON 97 is needed for high compression engines or forced induction ones running at high boost pressures.

      The best advice is still the owners manual. Some cars recommend 95 while others have 95 as the minimum and recommends 97. Others strictly advise using 97 only

    • ron 97 is a waste for original factory spec myvi, you only need ron97 if you have spent lots of monies on modded engine or turbo.

      and your point is? low income people can afford RM 120000++ car buy not RM2.66 per litter RON97? and high income people can’t buy a myvi?

      Actually, the L15B7 inside the Civic 1.5T doesn’t necessarily strictly require the use of RON97 fuel. The engine will run fine on RON95. However, as it is a forced induction engine, there may be a slight benefit when using RON97, but it’s up to you to decide if that is worth it.

      As you climb up the performance ladder however, the need for higher octane becomes more and more obvious. Take the K20C1 inside the FK8 Civic Type R. While it will run on RON95, you’ll suffer a power deficit of 10 metric horsepower due to the ECU changing its profile to reduce the likelihood of an engine knock. And when you go even higher, RON97 will become the absolute minimum, which some recommending RON98 and some even wanting E85 to get the most out of the engine.

    • Yup, same here. Horrible experience with ron95. Still better than the old crap ron 92,though. My temporary solution is fix the volume top up of 97 and 95. Ratio of 3parts to 1part. Troublesome, but I do it anyway. No more headaches. Involves recording of top up volumes to make this work!

    When GST no more, they didn’t reduce the price. Now they increase the price. Why is that? Shouldn’t that at least compensate when they didn’t reduce the price on the 1st?
