Petrol Refill in Malaysia

[eastsider]

Yo guys,

I know that SG cars are not allowed to pump Ron 95 in Malaysia since a year ago and so far the Johor stations stick to that rule.

Actually the rule is applicable to the whole Malaysia but just checking with those who have driven further up North to places like KL and Penang. Did you guys have problem pumping Ron 95 once you leave JB?

Will be driving up to Penang on National Day, just thought of getting some info so that I can plan my refill detours.

Thanks.

Hi Patrick,

My car requires a minimum of Ron 95 petrol, therefore if I can pump 95 of cheaper price, y not? I have read articles of interviews with top management of Exxonmobil etc, they do not use petrol grade higher than their cars' minimum requirement because it's not necessary.

Nobody driven further up north ah? oh well, I will let u guys know whether the answer is a yes or no when I am back.

ur car is turbo or supercharged?
if yes, then pumping 95 vs 97/98 has a diff.

Don't really understand TS intention...

Since you know you can't pump 95 in JB, then avoid topping up in JB unless necessary. Then later if you are not allowed to pump 95 outside JB then just have to pump whatever higher grade there is...

[patrickmaniac]

bro bottomline is he dun mind if it can save some $.

KUALA LUMPUR -- RON95 petrol and NGV fuel will be banned from being sold to foreign registered vehicles from tomorrow, the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism announced today.

RON95 petrol would however be allowed to be sold to foreign registered motorcycles as an exception.

Following the move, the requirement to produce Mykad by Malaysians using foreign registered vehicles for purchasing RON95 petrol at all petrol stations throughout the country had been withdrawn, the ministry said in a statement here today.

On August 1 last year, a directive to ban sales of RON95 petrol to foreign registered vehicles nationwide was imposed with the exception given to Malaysians who could produce the Mykad for verification.

The ministry in the statement clarified that the government had received feedback of leakages due to abuse of of the Mykad for purchasing RON95 petrol.

According to the ministry, petrol station operators at border areas had also complained of difficulties in controlling and ensuring the directive on the petrol ban was fully complied with.

"On this issue, the government is of the view that the ban on all foreign registered vehicles from buying RON95 petrol and the withdrawal of the condition that allowed purchase of RON95 petrol on producing the Mykad throughout the country with the exception of motorcycles, is reasonable," the ministry said.

The ministry clarified that the ban also covered NGV fuel following the discovery that 311,000 litres of NGV fuel were sold to foreign registered vehicles each year.

"At the rate of the current subsidy, the NGV fuel subsidy enjoyed by foreigners amounted to RM360,000 each year," the statement added.
