Fuel prices drop: Unsubsidised RON95, RON97 and diesel all decrease from 12 November – 18 November 2026

Motorists paying market rates for fuel will get significant relief at the pumps this week, with the Ministry of Finance announcing substantial price cuts across unsubsidised RON95, RON97 and diesel for the period of 12 November to 18 November 2026.

The latest adjustment sees RON97 plummet by 50 sen from RM 4.70 to RM 4.20 per litre, while unsubsidised RON95 drops by 40 sen from RM 4.27 to RM 3.87 per litre. Meanwhile, retail diesel in Peninsular Malaysia decreases by 25 sen from RM 5.12 to RM 4.87 per litre.

Subsidised fuel prices remain untouched

Eligible Malaysians under the BUDI95 programme continue to pay RM 1.99 per litre for RON95, while BUDI Diesel in Peninsular Malaysia stays at RM 2.10 per litre (and RM 2.15 per litre in East Malaysia). Prices under the Subsidised Petrol Control System (SKPS) and Subsidised Diesel Control System (SKDS) also remain unchanged at RM 2.05 and RM 2.15 per litre, respectively.

Market drivers & savings overview

According to the Ministry of Finance, the price reduction is driven by a drop in global Brent crude oil prices and lower refined petroleum product costs across regional markets during the latest Automatic Pricing Mechanism (APM) calculation cycle.

For motorists paying commercial rates, this week's price cut brings meaningful savings at the pump:

• Unsubsidised RON95 drivers: Save RM 20.00 on a full 50-litre tank compared to last week.
• RON97 drivers: Save RM 25.00 per 50-litre fill-up.
• Peninsular Diesel drivers: Save RM 12.50 per 50-litre fill-up.
