Latest Malaysian fuel prices (Nov 27 – Dec 3, 2025): RON95, RON97, Diesel all drop 2 Sen
The Ministry of Finance (MoF) has announced good news for Malaysian drivers this week. Following fluctuations in the global oil market, the retail prices for unsubsidised petrol and diesel in Peninsular Malaysia will all see a minor reduction for the period of November 27 to December 3, 2025.
This price change comes as a welcome relief to motorists, though the reduction is slight. For the coming week, drivers can enjoy a saving of 2 sen per litre across the board for the affected fuel grades.

Understanding the Price Fluctuation: The APM
The Ministry of Finance determines Malaysia's weekly fuel prices using the Automatic Pricing Mechanism (APM) formula. This mechanism is crucial for ensuring that domestic retail prices reflect the true cost based on global market dynamics, while government subsidies maintain affordability for the public.
Why did the price drop this week?
The 2 sen reduction is a direct result of the recent downward trend in global crude oil prices, which directly impacts the cost of refined oil as calculated under the APM. While the Malaysian government’s priority remains price stability, weekly adjustments are necessary to align with these international market movements.
For RON97 and the market-rate diesel in Peninsular Malaysia, the price moves freely according to this mechanism, offering a managed-float system.
3 Practical Tips to Mitigate Fuel Costs
Even with a slight price reduction, fuel remains a significant cost for every driver. Here are three simple ways to stretch your Ringgit further at the pump:
Maintain Proper Tyre Pressure: Under-inflated tyres increase rolling resistance, forcing your engine to work harder and consume more fuel. Check your pressure regularly (at least once a month).
Drive Smoothly: Avoid harsh acceleration and sudden braking. Aggressive driving can increase your fuel consumption by up to 30%. Maintain a steady speed and anticipate traffic.
Lighten the Load: Remove any unnecessary heavy items from your boot and cabin. Extra weight means extra fuel needed to move your vehicle.
Conclusion: Manage Your Costs, Simplify Your Drive
While the weekly fuel price announcement helps you budget your driving costs, fuel is just one part of total vehicle ownership expenses. As an informed Malaysian driver, managing all your vehicle-related deadlines and costs, from fuel efficiency to insurance and road tax renewal, is key to saving money.
