There are many factors in the market that can affect petroleum prices, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Price of crude oil. <\/strong>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caltex.com\/my\/motorists\/tips-resources\/determining-fuel-prices.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Caltex<\/a>, the cost of crude oil contributes to almost half the retail price of petroleum.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Supply and demand for crude oil. <\/strong>Prices for crude oil are driven by supply and demand. Supply shortages can use prices to rise, while prices can fall if supply exceeds demand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Supply disruptions. <\/strong>Much of the world\u2019s oil supply is located in politically unstable regions. When conflicts happen, the supply of oil could be disrupted, causing the price of oil to rise.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Foreign exchange rate. <\/strong>Malaysia is a big exporter of high-quality crude oil, but it also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.export.gov\/apex\/article2?id=Malaysia-Oil-and-Gas-Equipment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">imports a lot of low-grade oil<\/a> for domestic use. A change in foreign exchange rates could make oil more expensive to purchase, and therefore increase the price of petrol.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-is-the-difference-between-RON95-or-RON97\"><\/span>What is the difference between RON95 or RON97?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On paper, RON97 is more expensive than RON95 and considered to be of higher quality. But is it better for your engine and does it enhance the performance of your car as compared to RON95?<\/p>\n<p>Not necessarily. We\u2019ve debunked some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/is-ron97-really-better-than-ron95\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">myths about RON97\u2019s performance here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve also conducted a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/is-ron97-really-better-than-ron95-part2-tried-and-tested\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cdyno\u201d test<\/a> a while back to put this belief to the test.\u00a0 Our test vehicle \u2013 a stock Myvi 1.5 \u2013 was placed in a controlled environment, to limit the number of variables such as different road conditions, traffic and driving styles.<\/p>\n<p>What we found is that it only matters if your car has been optimised for a certain type of fuel. For example, in our test, we discovered that the Myvi 1.5 we used had been optimised for RON95 fuel usage.<\/p>\n<p>This applied vice versa. If someone drove a RON97-optimised auto, such as the Suzuki Swift Sport, using RON95 would likely cause that car to perform less efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>But the point is this: unless your car\u2019s engine requires RON97, there\u2019s really no point in spending more on premium fuel as it does not really give you an added performance advantage.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-petrol-should-your-vehicle-use\"><\/span>What petrol should your vehicle use?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Naturally, the next question is: how do you know which petrol your car\u2019s engine is optimised for?<\/p>\n<p>Generally, RON97 is used in cars with higher engine capacities (cc). But the best way to find out is to check your owner\u2019s manual &#8211; this will tell you the minimum RON your engine is compatible with.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can-you-mix-petrol-brands\"><\/span>Can you mix petrol brands?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mixing petrol brands <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydunia.com.my\/auto-article\/is-it-okay-to-mix-petrol-brands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">won\u2019t harm your engine<\/a>. You can even mix RON95 and RON97, if your car is compatible with both grades. Just stay away from mixing petrol and diesel, as that can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carsguide.com.au\/car-advice\/what-to-do-if-you-put-the-wrong-fuel-in-your-car-47261\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">damage your engine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-is-the-difference-between-petrol-and-diesel\"><\/span>What is the difference between petrol and diesel?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Petrol and diesel are both produced from oil, but are refined differently. This results in a different combustion process in your car\u2019s engine.<\/p>\n<p>What does this mean for your driving experience, exactly?<\/p>\n<p>On the surface, diesel is slightly more expensive than RON95. But it\u2019s more fuel efficient than petrol, which could make it more cost-effective in the long run. Diesel engines also produce more torque (that\u2019s the force that helps a vehicle tow, move something heavy or drive up steep elevations).<\/p>\n<p>On the downside, diesel engines tend to be noisy and rattly. Diesel engines also typically produce more toxic emissions than petrol engines, but newer diesel engines that are built with better standards have lower emissions. Nevertheless, some countries like Singapore are planning on banning the sale of diesel cars.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-can-you-save-money-on-petrol\"><\/span>How can you save money on petrol?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With petrol prices fluctuating faster than your weight, it\u2019s time to be proactive in other ways to save petrol. Here are easy ways for you to shave off some of your petrol costs:<\/p>\n<h4>1. Do not leave your engine idling<\/h4>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/scdhec.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/Library\/CR-010109.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">US government fact sheet<\/a> claims that idling uses up to half a gallon (that\u2019s 3.785 litres) of petrol per hour. That means burning about 0.315 litres of petrol for every five minutes of idling. Assuming your car has a fuel efficiency of 22km per litre of petrol, five minutes of idling could mean the equivalent of travelling around 6.93km.<\/p>\n<p>So the next time you are waiting for someone, turn your engine off. Leaving your engine idle does not only waste petrol, it is also releasing unnecessary harmful emissions. So, be kind to your wallet and the environment by reducing idling when you can.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Pump up your tyres<\/h4>\n<p>How often do you check the inflation of your tyres? It is not only dangerous to drive with tyres that are under-inflated, it can also affect your vehicle\u2019s fuel efficiency. Under-inflated tyres waste more petrol because they create too much traction, and thus need more petrol to get them going. But over-inflating your tyres can be dangerous too, as you\u2019ll make them more vulnerable to damage.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Get your car serviced<\/h4>\n<p>Research suggests that <a href=\"https:\/\/afdc.energy.gov\/conserve\/vehicle_maintenance.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">fuel economy can be sustained<\/a> through proper vehicle maintenance. Even if your vehicle is old, it won\u2019t affect your fuel efficiency if you care for your vehicle well.<\/p>\n<p>If you can\u2019t remember when you last serviced your vehicle, it\u2019s time to book an appointment with the workshop now. Set a reminder on your phone to ensure you never miss your service appointment again.<\/p>\n<h4>4. Plan your journeys<\/h4>\n<p>Make use of free GPS apps such as Waze and Google Maps when you are driving. Using GPS will help you plan your journeys effectively, so you won\u2019t make a wrong turn and waste precious fuel. Learn the route to the destination before starting your journey to avoid getting lost and being stuck in traffic. Circling round and round looking for your destination can make a huge difference to your petrol consumption, so it\u2019s worth planning your route before you leave home.<\/p>\n<h4>5. Use petrol loyalty card<\/h4>\n<p>Every sen saved is a sen earned, which is why arming yourself with the right petrol brand loyalty card can help you maximise your petrol dollars. The best way to find the best petrol brand loyalty card that gives you the most is to, first of all, find a petrol brand that you regularly pump from. For example, a petrol brand with the nearest station to your home or workplace. Then you can narrow it down to how much you need to spend to earn points and what is the value of the points. Petrol loyalty cards such as the Petron Miles card also gives you additional discounts and privileges from other merchants.<\/p>\n<p>Check our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/5-petrol-brand-loyalty-cards-you-need-to-get\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">comparison <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/5-petrol-brand-loyalty-cards-you-need-to-get\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">of<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/5-petrol-brand-loyalty-cards-you-need-to-get\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> petrol brand loyalty cards<\/a> to help you decide!<\/p>\n<h4>6. Drive a manual transmissions vehicle<\/h4>\n<p>According to Budget Direct, manual transmissions save drivers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.budgetdirect.com.au\/car-insurance\/guides\/car-buying\/manual-vs-automatic-car-transmission-pros-cons.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">between 5% and 15%<\/a> on their fuel costs. The reason for this is because manual transmission engines tend to be less complex, weigh less (weight savings = fuel savings), and have more gears than automatics (which lets you optimise on fuel savings). Although there are exceptions to the rule, manual cars do help you save fuel and they also tend to be cheaper than their automatic counterparts, and require less maintenance, which will save you money in the long run.<\/p>\n<h4>7. Drive a fuel-efficient car<\/h4>\n<p>There are lots of things that can make a car more fuel efficient, including its aerodynamics (that is, how well its design reduces air friction), its engine type, as well as its size and weight. For more information, check out our article on the top ten <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/top-15-most-fuel-efficient-cars-for-under-rm100000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">most fuel-efficient cars in Malaysia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>8. Use the best petrol credit card<\/h4>\n<p>If you spend a lot on petrol, it\u2019s time to get yourself the right credit card to cut your fuel cost every month. The best petrol credit card should give you good cashback or rewards points on your petrol spending at the petrol brand that you purchase from.<\/p>\n<div class=\"block\"><div>You should always <a
