Question 1

How much does it cost per km to drive in Malaysia?

Accepted Answer

With BUDI95 at RM1.99/litre, an average car (10L/100km) costs about RM0.199 per km. On RON97 at ~RM5.15/L, the same car costs RM0.515 per km — 2.6× more. Motorcycles are much cheaper at RM0.08-0.12 per km. EVs cost about RM0.08 per km at TNB residential rates, making them the cheapest option per kilometre.

Question 2

Which car has the best fuel economy in Malaysia?

Accepted Answer

Among popular Malaysian cars, the Perodua Axia leads with approximately 5.2L/100km, followed by Perodua Myvi at 6.5L/100km, Toyota Vios at 6.5L/100km, and Proton Saga at 6.2L/100km. Hybrid models like Honda City RS (4.6L/100km) and Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid (4.3L/100km) offer even better economy. EVs like Tesla Model 3 at 16kWh/100km are the most efficient.

Question 3

Is EV cheaper than petrol per km in Malaysia?

Accepted Answer

Yes, significantly. An EV costs about RM0.08/km at TNB rates (18kWh/100km × RM0.4435/kWh). A petrol car on BUDI95 costs RM0.13-0.20/km, and on RON97 costs RM0.33-0.52/km. Over 1,000km/month, an EV saves RM50-440 compared to petrol. However, EVs have higher purchase prices, so total cost of ownership depends on your driving distance.

Question 4

How to calculate petrol cost per km?

Accepted Answer

Formula: Cost per km = (Fuel consumption in L/100km ÷ 100) × Price per litre. Example: Myvi at 6.5L/100km × RM1.99/L = RM0.129 per km. For monthly cost: Cost per km × daily distance × days per week × 4.33. For EV: replace L with kWh and price per litre with price per kWh.

Question 5

What is the average fuel consumption of a Malaysian car?

Accepted Answer

The average fuel consumption for passenger cars in Malaysia is approximately 8-10L/100km. Smaller cars (Myvi, Axia) average 5.5-7L/100km. Mid-size sedans (Civic, Camry) average 7-9L/100km. SUVs average 9-13L/100km. Motorcycles average 2-5L/100km. In city driving, consumption is typically 20-30% higher than highway driving due to stop-start traffic.
