Today is a third time, petrol and diesel prices are reduced in Malaysia. The fuel prices have been reviewed on August 23 and September 24, 2008 previously. Compared with the old prices, it reduced up to 15%.

The current prices stand at MYR 2.30 per liter (USD 2.48 per gallon) for Petrol RON 97 and MYR 2.20 per liter (USD 2.37 per gallon) for Petrol RON 92 and Diesel.

It will provide some relief but will not have much impact as many doubt that prices of basic necessities would go down in tandem with the reduction.

Anyway, it is still good for us!

Here are 10 steps to save more than 20% on fuel:

1. A clean air filter will save you 10%.

2. Properly aligned tires will save you 10%.

3. A properly tuned engine will save you 4%.

4. Properly inflated tires will save you 2.8%.

5. Having a broken or missing gas cap can cost you 2 cents per gallon.

6. SLOW DOWN. Every 5mph (8 km/h) you reduce on the highway can reduce fuel consumption by 7%.

7. Smooth acceleration and deceleration can save you 33% on the highway and 5% in town.

8. For every 100lbs (45.4 kilogram) of extra weight you carry in your vehicle you loose 1-2%.

9. Don’t idle your engine. You can save 1 cent per gallon for every 2 minutes you don’t idle.

10. Don’t ride with your foot on the brake. You can save 35%.
