Fuels are 99% same and lesser than 1% different.

Fuels are 99% same.

By cleaner, did you test with a boroscope or an engine tear down?

More power, do share dyno charts? I think everyone benefits from real data

Highly unlikely. based on the gradual increment of global crude prices

Dont worry, US consumers will grumble louder should there be a sharp increase.

For fuel prices to go up by almost 30% is not impossible but not practical

While in Boleh Land, you can get 2.6b donation or send whistleblowers to jail.

Petrol price is caused by global pricing. Bolehland cannot affect that too much.

The answer is 90% of the time, yes.

Because there is another variable, foreign exchange

Yes. But I am also unsure what is the best mechanism..

Subsidizing based on MyKad, will slow down the transaction, and may cause abuse. Taking my son's MyKad to purchase among others.

Subsidizing based on fuel type seems more balance, an introduction of Ron 91, pricing it at RM1.50 while Ron 95 and ron 97 to be daily float (which would mean around 2.40 to 2.60). Since, most higher tech cars require Ron95.

Unless, they provide BRIM in the form of petrol vouchers, then it fixes the issue. Anyone who wants to get cheap fuel, apply and submit salary slips.

Thinking out loud here.

My personal opinion is that fuel subsidy should be via vouchers ala BRIM. If you earn less, you get fuel vouchers, with a cap. Cap meaning, if you earn RM1500, you get RM250 yearly voucher (since you may be riding a bike). RM2000, you get RM400 yearly fuel (since, you most likely drive a small car). RM3k, you get RM450 yearly voucher. After that, no more subsidy

All fuel prices should follow market prices.

Means the Ron 95 would be around RM2.60
And Ron 97 around RM2.80

Why I think it will be good?

First, cut down on unnecessary idling. Malaysians love to idle their cars. Switch off your engines!

Second, cut down on unnecessary driving. Walk! or take public transportation, where applicable

Third, cut down on fuel subsidy. We have a lot of debt as of today. So, not subsidizing fuel would actually be good.

Fuel subsidy costs, ~RM29 billion yearly (2013).

Then maybe, the car prices can come down.

without GST version of RON 97 is higher than the current 2.47/litre. Based on calculation by ISR25

RON97 is slightly subsidized now.

No. It is not Euro 4.

It is slightly better than Euro 2 but not Euro 4.

Thanks a lot for your hardwork.

For now, it is once a month

Hate on new gov because of fuel price?

Surely there are other considerations for a government

It is best to solve an issue with an adult discussion with all parties.

I think the delay is not the worst solution, to bulldoze a change in pricing will impact players. At least there is a targeted end date, which is end of the week.

To hate on a new government for 1 week delay in price reduction is absurd. Give them time, its like supporting a new manager for a football club, give them time to implement their vision and their policies. If after one full term, and they are not up to par, change.

I hope a cleaner government will give our country a better future. So, give them time. Rome wasnt built in one day and Kennedy's wife once said, "Change, it takes time"

I am truly disappointed with the delay of EURO4M too. But I would imagine that they have deployment delays in which was not tracked closely by the previous gov. They have set a new date, if they miss this next one, everyone should be upset.

New bosses and revised timelines are normal occurrences in business / politics.

I agree, I would love to have cheap petrol too but, a targeted delay is better than no date.

ah well.

news source?

Ron 97 still so expensive?

Wha.....

Yes. It is not cartel when it is set by Gov.

Thanks for the update.

I am prettty sure LGE sets the world oil price as Malaysia is the strongest oil producer in the world. Also, LGE sets the exchange rate as he controls Trillions of dollars with his account.

Please.

Clearly, you don’t understand sarcasm.
