Petrol prices have spiked sharply in the city state due to the Middle East conflict, with RON95 at almost three times the price in Malaysia at S$3.41 (US$2.64) per litre.
A Singaporean who wanted to be known only as Daryl said that since February, he has been travelling to Johor Bahru weekly not just to stock up on household items but also for RON97.
He said RON97 is still cheaper in the Malaysian city than RON92 in Singapore, which is being retailed at S$3.38 per litre.
“But we have to be careful when doing this as under Singapore law, all exiting vehicles must have their tanks at least three-quarters full. Officials regularly carry out inspections and those caught flouting the rule face a S$500 fine and will be ordered to turn back to fill their tanks,” he added.
