BUDI Madani is Malaysia's targeted fuel subsidy programme introduced after the blanket subsidy removal in June 2024. Under BUDI Madani: RON95 is fixed at RM2.05/litre for eligible Malaysian-registered vehicles. Foreign vehicles and high-income Malaysians (above declared threshold) pay the market price. The subsidy is applied via MyKad verification at the pump or Setel app linked to your IC. Fleet vehicles (taxis, e-hailing, commercial vans) have separate subsidy quotas.

RON95 suits most Malaysian cars — Perodua (Myvi, Axia, Bezza, Ativa), Proton (Saga, Iriz, X50, X70), Honda City/Jazz, Toyota Vios, Nissan Almera. RON97 is needed for performance/turbocharged engines — BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Honda Civic Type R, performance variants. Using RON97 in a RON95 car does not damage the engine but wastes money (~RM1.20/litre more). Check your owner's manual or fuel cap label — if it says 95 or higher, RON95 is sufficient.
