RON97 back down to RM2.80 per liter (7 Jun 2012)

A reduction in petrol prices is quite a rarity. Fortunately, a *Blue Moon* is upon us - from 7th June 2012 onwards (at least until the next price revision), the price of RON97 petrol drops by RM0.10 to RM2.80 per liter.

This latest revision announced by the Malaysian Government (read about here at The Star Online) is apparently due to the lower average global price of crude oil in May. This puts RON97 prices back to what they were since June 2011 last year, right before the increase to RM2.90 in April, just 2 months ago.

Well, that's good news for those of us with a) high performance imported cars like the Honda Civic Type R, and b) those of us who still choose to refuel with RON97 for whatever reason, even though majority of the cars here can run fine with RON95. My own Honda Civic FD2 ran fine on RON92, back when that was available.

Keeping fingers crossed that there will be a reduction soon to RON95 (which goes in to my car)...! :)
