Malaysia fuel prices for November 12–18
The Ministry of Finance has announced lower retail prices for petrol and diesel for the week from November 12 to 18, 2026. The changes are based on Malaysia’s Automatic Pricing Mechanism.
| Fuel | Previous price | New price | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| RON95 without subsidy | RM4.27/L | RM3.87/L | Down 40 sen |
| RON97 | RM4.70/L | RM4.20/L | Down 50 sen |
| Diesel without subsidy B10/B15 | RM5.12/L | RM4.87/L | Down 25 sen |
The new prices take effect from November 12 and remain in force until November 18, 2026.
According to the Ministry of Finance, refined petroleum product prices in regional markets declined during the relevant APM calculation period, alongside lower global crude oil prices and increased supplies of refined fuel in regional markets.
What changed this week?
All three main unsubsidised fuel prices have fallen again this week. RON97 recorded the largest reduction at 50 sen per litre, followed by unsubsidised RON95 at 40 sen and diesel at 25 sen.
For drivers paying market prices, the reductions can make a noticeable difference, particularly for vehicles with larger fuel tanks or drivers who refuel frequently.
Compared with last week, a 40-litre fill-up is now RM16 cheaper for unsubsidised RON95, RM20 cheaper for RON97 and RM10 cheaper for unsubsidised diesel.
Expert tip: If you regularly fill your tank with unsubsidised fuel, compare your weekly fuel spending rather than looking only at the price per litre. Tracking the amount you actually use gives you a clearer picture of your vehicle's running costs.
Subsidised fuel prices remain unchanged
The latest reductions apply to unsubsidised fuel prices. Subsidised rates under the relevant government programmes remain unchanged.
| Fuel or programme | Price |
|---|---|
| RON95 under BUDI95 | RM1.99/L |
| Diesel under BUDI Diesel | RM2.10/L |
| RON95 under SKPS | RM2.05/L |
| Diesel under SKDS | RM2.15/L |
Eligible Malaysians can continue purchasing subsidised RON95 and diesel using their MyKad, subject to the applicable eligibility requirements and monthly limits.
Common mistake: Do not assume that every driver automatically pays the subsidised fuel price. Unsubsidised and subsidised rates apply to different categories, so check which price applies to you before calculating your fuel budget.
Why are fuel prices falling?
The Ministry of Finance said refined petroleum product prices in regional markets declined during the APM calculation period. The decrease was linked to lower global crude oil prices and increased supplies of refined fuel in regional markets.
However, the ministry also warned that global petroleum prices remain exposed to significant volatility while the conflict involving Iran remains unresolved. Recent attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz also indicate that supply disruption risks remain.
This means drivers should not assume that the current reductions will continue every week. Malaysia's fuel prices are reviewed weekly under the APM and can move up or down depending on market conditions.
How much can you save?
The actual saving depends on how much fuel you purchase. Based on the latest reductions, every 40 litres of unsubsidised fuel bought costs less than it did last week.
- RON95: 40 litres now costs RM154.80, compared with RM170.80 last week, saving RM16.
- RON97: 40 litres now costs RM168, compared with RM188 last week, saving RM20.
- Diesel: 40 litres now costs RM194.80, compared with RM204.80 last week, saving RM10.
These examples assume a 40-litre purchase at the stated unsubsidised rates. Your actual fuel bill will depend on the amount of fuel you buy and the applicable fuel category.
Tips to manage your fuel costs
- Check the weekly fuel price announcement before planning large fill-ups.
- Track your fuel spending to identify changes in your monthly vehicle costs.
- Keep your tyres inflated to the pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
- Plan longer journeys efficiently to reduce unnecessary detours.
- Follow your vehicle's recommended maintenance schedule.
- Use the fuel grade recommended for your vehicle.
- If you rely on subsidised fuel, make sure you understand the applicable eligibility requirements.
Because fuel prices can change every week, keeping a simple record of fuel purchases can also help you understand how much your vehicle costs to run over time.
