Petrol just got pricier, but the right way to pay still saves you plenty in JB.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

That RM1.99 RON95 price everyone raves about? Not for you. If you’re driving a Singapore-registered car into JB, you’re pumping RON97, full stop. And from 21 May 2026, that grade just got pricier. Here’s what a tank actually costs, the rule that’ll cost you a fortune if you ignore it, and the cleanest way to pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"RON97,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    RON97, the only grade Singapore cars can use, is 4.85 MYR (~S$1.47) per litre<\/strong> for 21\u201327 May 2026. That’s up 15 cents from 4.70 MYR the week before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Prices moved across the board this week. According to Malaysia’s Ministry of Finance<\/a>, the bump tracks higher global crude prices, with the Middle East conflict still squeezing supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One thing to know: RON97, unsubsidised RON95 and diesel are floated weekly under Malaysia’s Automatic Pricing Mechanism, so the RON97 number shifts every Wednesday. The 1.99 MYR subsidised RON95 is the only one that stays put, and it’s the one you can’t touch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Can Singapore Cars Pump RON95 in JB?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    No. Foreign-registered vehicles are banned from RON95 entirely, subsidised or not, and must use RON97. This isn’t new in spirit, but the teeth are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    From 1 April 2026<\/a>, enforcement extended to drivers, not just petrol stations. Get caught filling a foreign-plated car with RON95, and you’re looking at a fine of up to 1 million MYR (~S$303,000)<\/strong>, up to three years’ jail, or both. People have tried taping over plates. People have been caught. It’s not worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
