Running on Fumes: How RSA Helps During Petrol Shortages in Malaysia | MyMechanic
Why Running Out of Petrol is a Real Risk in Malaysia
While Malaysia has plenty of petrol stations, several factors can catch a Singaporean driver off guard:
Longer Distances: The stretches between towns and petrol stations on highways can be much longer than what we are used to in Singapore.
RON95 Restriction: Singapore-registered cars are prohibited from using the cheaper RON95 petrol. In some rural areas, the higher-grade RON97 might be temporarily unavailable, forcing you to drive further to find a suitable station.
Miscalculation: It's easy to misjudge how much fuel you'll use, especially with unexpected detours or heavy traffic jams.
What to Do When the Fuel Light Comes On
The moment you see that warning light, your priority is to conserve fuel and find the nearest station.
Reduce Consumption: Turn off your air-conditioning and avoid aggressive acceleration. Drive smoothly.
Use Your GPS: Immediately search for the nearest petrol station on your navigation app and head straight there.
Don't Push Your Luck: Don't assume you can make it to your preferred petrol station chain. The closest one is always the best one when you're running low.
