Kuching motorists face higher petrol prices, but BUDI95 stays RM1.99
-
RON97 rises to RM4.90 a litre and unsubsidised RON95 to RM4.42 from Oct 29 to Nov 4, while eligible BUDI95 users continue paying RM1.99 a litre.
The Finance Ministry’s Oct 28 announcement sets a 10-sen increase for each unsubsidised petrol grade, from RM4.80 for RON97 and RM4.32 for RON95. The new weekly rates take effect on Thursday and also apply to petrol purchases in Kuching.
For a 50-litre purchase, that increase adds RM5: RON97 costs RM245 instead of RM240, while unsubsidised RON95 costs RM221 instead of RM216. The calculation compares the same volume at the old and new rates, not a change in how much fuel a vehicle uses.
The higher RON95 headline price is not the amount charged for an eligible subsidised BUDI95 purchase. The ministry says eligible Malaysians can continue buying subsidised fuel using MyKad, subject to their monthly eligibility limits. At RM1.99 a litre, 50 litres of BUDI95 would cost RM99.50, provided the purchase remains within those limits.
