RON97 petrol up 20 sen from tomorrow
By G Manimaran, The Malaysian Insider
KUALA LUMPUR, April 1 — The pump price for RON97 petrol will go up 20 sen a litre to RM2.70/litre effective midnight, a source said today.
It is the highest jump this year as world oil prices have spiked due to unrest in oil-rich North Africa.
“We received the confirmation notice this evening about the 20 sen rise,” a source told The Malaysian Insider.
The price of the higher-grade RON97 rose 10 sen effective January 31 after a similar hike in early January 2011. It had earlier spiked to RM2.30 last December 1.
