RON97 to cost more after Sept 1.

Petrol price: RON97 to cost 20sen more

Taken from TheStar,

PUTRAJAYA: The price of premium grade petrol RON97 will be increased to RM2 per litre from Sept 1 onwards, 20sen more per litre, when RON95 becomes available nationwide.

RON95 petrol and Euro 2M grade diesel is expected to the market by Sept 1.

Former Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Samad had said in March that the prices for both upgraded fuels would be the same as the previous grades.

The higher grade RON95 will replace RON92 petrol but will be sold at the same price as the lower-grade petrol.

This is bad news indeed. We until today was never given a full briefing on the petrol price control policy. Why raise the price while it should be lower? How many type of cars can use RON95? Using lower RON petrol may cause 'Knocking issues' in the car engine. So is this the time some one will set up a company to sell RON Boosters?This is the number 1 reason why we need more opposition in the parliment to check and balance the implemenatation of stupid policy in our county. Petronas register losses every year but pays its staff like crazy rich? Where is the pay cut? Force leave?
