Time sure flies, and so here we are, on the cusp of a new year. Yes, it’s another Wednesday, which brings about the usual weekly fuel price update from the ministry of finance, but this one – for the coming week of January 1-7 – takes us into 2026.
Everything remains unchanged as it was at the end of 2025, and so unsubsidised RON 95 petrol continues on at the RM2.56 per litre it was at last week. As for RON 97, the premium grade of petrol remains priced at RM3.16 per litre.
Naturally, RON 95 petrol subsidised under the Budi Madani RON 95 (Budi95) scheme stays fixed at RM1.99 per litre. Malaysians with a valid driving licence are eligible for the fuel at a monthly quota of 300 litres.
As for diesel, Euro 5 B10 and B20 blends remain priced at RM2.94 per litre, with the Euro 5 B7 blend, which costs 20 sen more per litre, continuing to go for RM3.14 per litre. The retail price of diesel fuels in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan stays unchanged at RM2.15 per litre.
These prices take effect from midnight tonight until Wednesday, January 7, 2026, when the next set of fuel price updates are announced. This is the first edition of the weekly fuel pricing format for 2026, and the 364th in total since the format was introduced at the start of 2019. Happy new year, folks, and wishing all of you a great 2026!
