note: A nice surprise by the Australian Institute of Petroleum where I get the MOPS95 graph below - looks like they are in operation this year end when they normally go on a 2 week break.

Calculation and table of estimated prices can be found at this link: https://goo.gl/cpYiBN

If calculating 24/12 to 30/12 cycle (Thursday to Wednesday - weekends are using Friday prices), the actual retail price for RON95 & RON97 should be RM1.79 and RM2.09 respectively (±1 sen).

If we follow the Automatic Pricing Mechanism and Sales Tax Act, the government is allowed to "tax" us higher by 60sen per litre for petrol products sold.

For the past few weeks, the government applied a hidden tax of approximately 5 sen. Thus, I estimate that RON95 and RON97 would increase by 4 sen from last week to RM1.84 and RM2.14 respectively (±1 sen).

Whopping 30cents more since 9 months ago.

Just before the MCO, indication is that the fuel price will go up this Saturday by 8 sen (as of 11/1). For those that are not WFH / working in essential sectors, do fuel up before Saturday. https://goo.gl/cpYiBN

Still having a full tank from last week. Cant go anywhere.... huhu....

Preferably ron97 for better performance. Those engines if damage will cost a boom rather not to risk 😂

RON 97 remains the same.. sigh too expensive at RM 2.58 😭

Gov is creating a sort of like “fake” economic environment where inflation is capped with the heavy subsidies on ron95, cooking gas, cooking oil, electricity and etc whilst other countries are grappling with energy crisis now.

How long can we last without embracing inflation. 

Bulk of the ron95 subsidies still goes to people who drive big cars/motorbikes, not the common folks or poor people.

Woohooo, another 10c up ya. I love octane boosters! Lol

If RON97 is RM5, u think govt will keep RON95 or diesel at current prices?

Full Tank for Shell V-Power - which is RON97 - is already RM200 for most cars.

bizarre

it's a battle between the cleaner 97 against the famous 95

then there's this question, does 95 has long term effects on TSi engines. or the mixture is good only for N/A

technically is only the label la?

For me, my current working place at PJ not possible to take public transport, quick Google map direction showing single trip require 40 mins of walk + 20 mins of LRT. Round trip per day would be 80 mins of walk, not possible la.

If working office are those KL area with nearby LRT access, I'm happy to take LRT, been done that many times.

Of coz the better option would be alternate WFH, but you know many local Bosses still insisted to come back office even though our job nature can WFH + onsite if required.
