How diesel pricing works in Malaysia
Since the middle of 2024, diesel in Peninsular Malaysia has been sold at a managed float price rather than a fixed government rate. Each week the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) sets the retail ceiling based on the Mean of Platts Singapore (MOPS) benchmark plus a fixed margin for distribution and retail. This is why the pump price you see here can move up or down every Thursday — it tracks the global price of refined diesel rather than a politically fixed number.
Peninsular vs East Malaysia diesel
Diesel is one of the few fuels with a genuine regional split. In Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan, diesel remains subsidised at a lower fixed price to protect the cost of goods and transport across East Malaysia. In Peninsular Malaysia, the floating market price applies to most motorists, while eligible groups can still receive targeted assistance. The price card above shows both the Peninsular and East Malaysia figures whenever the data is available.
Subsidised vs unsubsidised diesel
Two government schemes keep diesel affordable for the people who need it most:
- BUDI MADANI — cash assistance paid directly to eligible individual diesel-vehicle owners, instead of subsidising the fuel at the pump.
- SKDS (Subsidised Diesel Control System) — fleet cards for logistics operators and selected commercial vehicles that keep their diesel at a controlled price.
Most private cars, SUVs and companies outside these schemes pay the unsubsidised market price shown on this page. If you drive a diesel pickup or SUV for personal use, this is almost certainly the rate that applies to you.
B7, B10 and B20 — what the labels mean
Malaysian diesel is blended with palm-based biodiesel. B7 contains 7% biodiesel and is the grade recommended for newer common-rail and Euro 5 engines; B10 and B20 contain higher biodiesel content and are typically used by older or commercial vehicles. B7 generally sits about RM0.20 above the B10 price. Always check your owner's manual for the highest biodiesel blend your engine is approved to use.
How to estimate your diesel cost
A diesel SUV averaging around 7 L/100km on a 350 km trip will burn roughly 24–25 litres of fuel. Multiply that by the current price above and you have your one-way cost. Rather than doing the maths by hand, enter your route and vehicle into our trip cost calculator — it applies the live diesel price automatically and adjusts for real-world driving conditions.
Bagaimana harga diesel ditetapkan di Malaysia
Sejak pertengahan 2024, diesel di Semenanjung Malaysia dijual pada harga apungan terurus dan bukannya kadar tetap kerajaan. Setiap minggu, Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Kos Sara Hidup (KPDN) menetapkan siling harga runcit berdasarkan penanda aras Mean of Platts Singapore (MOPS) serta margin tetap untuk pengedaran dan runcit. Inilah sebabnya harga di pam boleh naik atau turun setiap hari Khamis — ia mengikut harga global diesel ditapis, bukan angka tetap.
Diesel Semenanjung vs Malaysia Timur
Diesel adalah antara segelintir bahan api dengan pembahagian harga mengikut wilayah. Di Sabah, Sarawak dan Labuan, diesel masih disubsidi pada harga tetap yang lebih rendah untuk melindungi kos barangan dan pengangkutan di Malaysia Timur. Di Semenanjung Malaysia, harga pasaran terapung dikenakan kepada kebanyakan pemandu, manakala kumpulan yang layak masih boleh menerima bantuan bersasar. Kad harga di atas memaparkan kedua-dua angka Semenanjung dan Malaysia Timur apabila data tersedia.
Diesel bersubsidi vs tidak bersubsidi
Dua skim kerajaan memastikan diesel kekal mampu milik untuk mereka yang paling memerlukan:
- BUDI MADANI — bantuan tunai dibayar terus kepada pemilik kenderaan diesel persendirian yang layak, sebagai ganti subsidi di pam.
- SKDS (Sistem Kawalan Diesel Bersubsidi) — kad armada untuk pengusaha logistik dan kenderaan komersial terpilih bagi mengekalkan harga diesel terkawal.
Kebanyakan kereta persendirian, SUV dan syarikat di luar skim ini membayar harga pasaran tidak bersubsidi yang dipaparkan di halaman ini. Jika anda memandu pikap atau SUV diesel untuk kegunaan peribadi, ini hampir pasti kadar yang dikenakan kepada anda.
B7, B10 dan B20 — apa maksud label ini
Diesel Malaysia dicampur dengan biodiesel berasaskan sawit. B7 mengandungi 7% biodiesel dan merupakan gred yang disyorkan untuk enjin common-rail dan Euro 5 yang lebih baharu; B10 dan B20 mengandungi kandungan biodiesel lebih tinggi dan biasanya digunakan kenderaan lama atau komersial. B7 secara amnya kira-kira RM0.20 lebih tinggi daripada harga B10. Sentiasa semak manual pemilik untuk campuran biodiesel tertinggi yang diluluskan untuk enjin anda.
Cara anggarkan kos diesel anda
SUV diesel yang menggunakan kira-kira 7 L/100km dalam perjalanan 350 km akan membakar lebih kurang 24–25 liter bahan api. Darabkan dengan harga semasa di atas untuk mendapat kos sehala anda.
