KUALA LUMPUR, 14 Oct 2008: The RON97 petrol price will be down by 15 sen to RM2.30 a litre, RON92 less 10 sen to RM2.20 and diesel sheds 20 sen to RM2.20 effective tomorrow.
This followed a marked drop in world oil prices of late, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in a statement today.
He said the government decided to expedite the reduction of petrol and diesel retail prices to enable the people to enjoy lower fuel prices immediately.
The government earlier adjusted fuel prices on 23 Aug and 24 Sept.
