Today is Wednesday, which means that it is once again time for the weekly fuel price update, as announced by the ministry of finance for the coming week of March 19 to 25, 2026.
Following last week‘s significant increases of between 60 sen to 80 sen per litre in the prices of both petrol and diesel fuels, this week sees the retail price of diesel fuel of the Euro 5 B10 and B20 blends in Peninsular Malaysia climb by 80 sen to 4.72 per litre. Therefore, the Euro 5 B7 blend of diesel, which is 20 sen more per litre, is at RM4.92 per litre for the coming week.
The retail price of diesel fuels in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan stays unchanged at RM2.15 per litre. The Budi Madani diesel fuel cash assistance that was announced to be increased by RM100 last week has taken effect yesterday, March 17.
For petrol, the subsidised RON 95 fuel under the Budi Madani RON 95 (Budi95) scheme remains at RM1.99 per litre; Malaysians with a valid driving licence are eligible for the fuel at a monthly quota of 300 litres. The price of unsubsidised RON 95 petrol remains unchanged at RM3.27 per litre, while RON 97 petrol climbs by 70 sen to RM4.55 per litre, from its RM3.85 per litre rate of last week.
“Although Malaysia is an oil-producing country, petroleum products for domestic use are still obtained through the global market. Therefore, domestic fuel prices are still influenced by global developments. The government will continue to take a prudent and responsible approach in managing domestic fuel prices following the continuing uncertainty in the global oil market,” the finance ministry said in a statement.
These prices take effect from midnight tonight until Wednesday, March 25, 2026. This is the 13th edition of the weekly fuel pricing format for 2026, and the 376th in total since the format was introduced at the start of 2019.
