What are the latest fuel prices in Malaysia?
The biggest change this week is petrol. Unsubsidised RON95 increased from RM4.52 to RM4.67 per litre, while RON97 increased from RM5.00 to RM5.15 per litre. Both rose by exactly 15 sen.
| Fuel type | 1–7 Oct 2026 | 8–14 Oct 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| RON95 – BUDI95 | RM1.99/L | RM1.99/L | No change |
| RON95 – unsubsidised | RM4.52/L | RM4.67/L | +RM0.15 |
| RON97 | RM5.00/L | RM5.15/L | +RM0.15 |
| Diesel – unsubsidised | RM5.27/L | RM5.27/L | No change |
RON95 rises to RM4.67 per litre
Unsubsidised RON95 increased by 15 sen. Drivers paying the market price will now pay RM4.67 per litre, compared with RM4.52 per litre during 1–7 October.
However, eligible Malaysians under BUDI95 continue to pay RM1.99 per litre. This means the subsidised rate remains unchanged even though the unsubsidised market price has increased.
For example, 40 litres of unsubsidised RON95 now costs RM186.80, compared with RM180.80 last week its a difference of RM6.00 for the same amount of fuel.
RON97 increases to RM5.15 per litre
RON97 also increased by 15 sen per litre. Its price moved from RM5.00 during 1–7 October to RM5.15 per litre for 8–14 October 2026.
A 40-litre fill-up therefore costs RM206.00 at the new price. That is RM6.00 more than the same 40-litre fill-up would have cost at last week's RM5.00 rate.
RON97 remains an unsubsidised fuel, so its retail price moves with the weekly market-based pricing mechanism.
Diesel price remains at RM5.27
Unsubsidised diesel is unchanged this week. The price remains RM5.27 per litre in Peninsular Malaysia for 8–14 October 2026.
Eligible diesel users under BUDI Diesel continue to receive the subsidised rate of RM2.10 per litre, while the SKDS rate remains RM2.15 per litre for eligible fleets.
Why did fuel prices increase this week?
The increase is linked to international refined petroleum product supply pressures. The Ministry of Finance said global crude oil prices remained elevated despite a gradual recovery in crude oil flows from West Asia.
The ministry also pointed to China's suspension of most fuel exports for October, which has limited refined petroleum product supplies in the international market. Brent crude prices remained around US$100 per barrel during the relevant APM calculation period.
Fuel prices are reviewed every week
Malaysia's fuel prices are updated weekly under the Automatic Pricing Mechanism. New prices are generally announced on Wednesday and take effect from Thursday through the following Wednesday.
That means the price you see at the pump can change from one week to the next. Keeping track of the latest rate is especially useful for drivers who cover long distances or regularly fill a large fuel tank.

How much more will a full tank cost?
The impact depends on how much fuel your car takes. Because RON95 and RON97 both increased by 15 sen per litre, the additional cost can be calculated based on the amount you fill.
| Amount filled | RON95 increase | RON97 increase |
|---|---|---|
| 20 litres | +RM3.00 | +RM3.00 |
| 40 litres | +RM6.00 | +RM6.00 |
| 50 litres | +RM7.50 | +RM7.50 |
| 60 litres | +RM9.00 | +RM9.00 |
The calculation is simple: multiply the 15-sen increase by the number of litres you purchase. Your actual total bill still depends on the fuel type and whether you qualify for a subsidised rate.
Expert tip
Check the latest fuel price before your usual weekly fill-up, especially if you are buying unsubsidised RON95 or RON97. The Motorist App can alert you when fuel prices change, so you do not have to remember to check manually every week.
Common mistake to avoid
Do not confuse the RM1.99 BUDI95 price with the RM4.67 unsubsidised RON95 price. The RM1.99 rate applies to eligible Malaysians under BUDI95, while RM4.67 is the current unsubsidised market price.
Conclusion
Malaysia's fuel prices have increased again for 8–14 October 2026, with RON95 and RON97 both rising by 15 sen while unsubsidised diesel stays at RM5.27 per litre. Keeping track of weekly changes can help motorists better plan their fuel spending.
