TL;DR - Yet another SG-registered Mercedes GLA180 driver enjoying the cheap RON95 from Malaysia. Despite several signs put up around the petrol kiosks, people just seem to intentionally be oblivious to those posters. Here's what I mean: What happened? Many Singaporeans head into Johor Bahru for the cheap food, cheap massage and most importantly, cheap petrol. This man is no exception. The Mercedes driver was caught filling his car with RON95, the forbidden petrol that is exclusive to MY-registered vehicles only. In case you didn't know, a litre of RON95 costs ~SGD0.60 and a litre of RON97 costs ~SGD1. The difference in price is not worth the public shame lah… And the fact he drives a Mercs makes it worse. Online Chatter When you put cheapskate and Mercedes in a sentence, you get this 'xia-suey' driver. Tsk… throw Singaporeans’ face sia.

KUALA LUMPUR: RON95 petrol and NGV fuel will be banned from being sold to foreign registered vehicles from tomorrow, the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism announced today. RON95 petrol would however be allowed to be sold to foreign registered motorcycles as an exception. Following the move, the requirement to produce Mykad by Malaysians using foreign registered vehicles for purchasing RON95 petrol at all petrol stations throughout the country had been withdrawn, the ministry said in a statement here today. On August 1 last year, a directive to ban sales of RON95 petrol to foreign registered vehicles nationwide was imposed with the exception given to Malaysians who could produce the Mykad for verification. The ministry in the statement clarified that the government had received feedback of leakages due to abuse of of the Mykad for purchasing RON95 petrol. According to the ministry, petrol station operators at border areas had also complained of difficulties in controlling and ensuring the directive on the petrol ban was fully complied with. "On this issue, the government is of the view that the ban on all foreign registered vehicles from buying RON95 petrol and the withdrawal of the condition that allowed purchase of RON95 petrol on producing the Mykad throughout the country with the exception of motorcycles, is reasonable," the ministry said. The ministry clarified that the ban also covered NGV fuel following the discovery that 311,000 litres of NGV fuel were sold to foreign registered vehicles each year. " At the rate of the current subsidy, the NGV fuel subsidy enjoyed by foreigners amounted to RM360,000 each year," the statement added. -- BERNAMA

I was caught a few times in Msia with low fuel and the available fuel in the village is ron95 from bhg or petronas. How i wish i had octane booster to add in to the ron95 fuel in these situations. Any inputs or advice.

Is it something that I'm not aware of? Has the ban been lifted for foreign registered vehicle (Spore/Msia driver) to pump Ron95 in Msia? Cos I saw so many S plate cars pumping 95 at 2nd link rest area before headed back in to SG.

Becareful bros .. http://www.limsimi.com/johor-bahru-news-in...in-johor-bahru/ As you might be aware by now, it is against the law in Malaysia for a Singaporean to top-up the petrol tank using RON95 petrol, as this grade of petrol is subsidized for Malaysians only. Recently, 4 Singaporean motorists had been caught topping up their fuel tank at a Mobile petrol station along Tebrau highway

Malaysian driving Singapore registered car still allowed to pump RON95 provided they show their NRIC before pumping.

Is this ur car? :p http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?f...&sec=nation
