Local gasoline is mainly divided into two grades: RON95 and RON97. RON95 has an octane rating of 95, which is suitable for most vehicles with ordinary engines. Due to government subsidies, its price is more affordable. Only Malaysian citizens holding MyKad are eligible for the subsidized price, and foreigners are not allowed to refuel with RON95. RON97 has an octane rating of 97, which is designed for high-performance engines. Its price is higher than that of RON95 and is adjusted weekly according to market dynamics. The subsidy policy for RON95 effectively reduces the travel costs of local citizens, while RON97 meets the needs of vehicle models with higher requirements for fuel quality. When making a choice, RON95 is sufficient for the daily needs of ordinary family cars. If the vehicle manual specifies the need for high-octane fuel, it is recommended to use RON97 to ensure the stable operation of the engine and optimize its performance. In addition, the subsidized price of RON95 will be fine-tuned with policy adjustments, but it is always lower than that of RON97 overall. The price fluctuation of RON97 is greatly affected by international crude oil and local market factors, so it is necessary to pay attention to the weekly officially updated price information.
