KUALA LUMPUR: The retail price of RON97 petrol will drop by 11 sen to RM2.56 per litre for the fuel price week July 27 to Aug 2.

Based on the calculations under the Automatic Pricing Mechanism (APM), the retail prices of RON95 and diesel for that period should be RM2.26/litre and RM2.31/litre, respectively.
“However, the retail prices for both fuels are maintained at RM2.08/litre and RM2.18/ litre in line with the government’s decision to stabilise petrol prices for petroleum products and reduce the cost of living,“ the statement said.
