π’οΈ How RON95 Prices Are Set in Malaysia
Malaysia follows a government-regulated pricing system called the Automatic Pricing Mechanism (APM) for petrol and diesel. The APM:
β Responds to global crude oil price changes
β Factors in currency exchange rates (especially USD/MYR)
β Includes transportation, refining, and logistics costs
β Considers government subsidies where applicable
This mechanism allows prices to be adjusted weekly so that pump prices reflect worldwide trends while balancing affordability for local drivers.
π Comparison β Subsidised vs Retail RON95
| Feature | BUDI95 Subsidised RON95 | Retail RON95 (Non-subsidised) |
|---|---|---|
| Price per Litre | RM 1.99 | RM 2.54 |
| Eligibility | Malaysian citizens with valid ID | All drivers |
| Quota | Subject to monthly limit | No limit |
| Availability | Participating fuel stations | All stations |
This difference helps reduce fuel burden for citizens, especially regular commuters and lower-income drivers.
π Why Knowing RON95 Prices Matters
Whether youβre a daily driver, a delivery rider, a fleet manager, or simply budgeting for travel, weekly awareness of petrol prices is essential. Hereβs why:
π° 1. Helps Budget Your Fuel Costs
Even small changes in petrol prices can add up quickly over a month, especially if you drive daily. Keeping track helps you plan more effectively.
π 2. Informs Car Purchasing Decisions
Petrol costs play a role when choosing a car β vehicles that use RON95 regularly may cost more to run than more fuel-efficient models.
π 3. Business Planning for Transport
Businesses that rely on transport β like logistics, ride-hailing or delivery services β are directly impacted by fuel price changes. Price tracking helps with operational budgeting.
π 4. Reflects Broader Economic Trends
Changes in fuel pricing often reflect shifts in global crude oil market conditions or exchange rate fluctuations, which can impact broader economic planning.
π Historical Price Movement (Quick Snapshot)
For context, hereβs how RON95 pricing has behaved recently:
- Current week (29 Jan β 4 Feb 2026): Retail RON95 at RM 2.54; subsidised RON95 at RM 1.99.
- Previous weeks: RON95 rates have remained fairly stable as the global fuel market has seen muted movements.

This shows that petrol prices remain relatively stable in Malaysia compared to dieselβs weekly movements.
π‘ Tips to Save on Petrol Costs
Here are a few practical tips Malaysians use to reduce petrol spending:
β½ 1. Use Fuel Apps for Deals
Many petrol stations offer points, cashback, or promotional discounts via apps β these can result in small savings each fill-up.
π 2. Monitor Weekly Trends
Since prices change weekly, timing your refuels just before expected price increases can save money.
π 3. Improve Driving Habits
Smooth acceleration, consistent speed, and regular vehicle maintenance can boost fuel economy and lower petrol usage.

During weeks where prices spike, sharing rides or riding public transport can help you avoid high petrol bills.
