MyPetrol: Your Ultimate Guide to Petrol Prices in Malaysia

Welcome to MyPetrol, your trusted companion in navigating the fluctuating landscape of petrol prices in Malaysia. Launched amidst a pivotal moment in Malaysia’s energy policy, MyPetrol harnesses the power of crowd-sourcing to empower the nation's motorists.

The Malaysian Petrol Price Revolution

In early March 2017, the Malaysian government embarked on a bold new journey, introducing a weekly petrol pricing mechanism, effective from 29 March 2017. This innovative approach featured a national ceiling price, allowing petrol stations to offer discounts below this threshold. This move was part of a broader initiative to foster a spirit of communal support, epitomized by the slogan, "I help you, you help me," encapsulated within MyPetrol's mission.

Empowering the Community

MyPetrol serves as a beacon for motorists seeking to make informed decisions about their fuel purchases. When you visit a station offering a discount, you have the opportunity to update the price through our platform. This act of sharing benefits the entire community, ensuring that everyone is aware of the most favorable deals available.

Moreover, when other users assist you by saving you money through their updates, you can show appreciation by liking the price. This simple gesture not only acknowledges their contribution but also spreads the word among fellow drivers, fostering a network of shared savings and support.

Joining Forces for a Better Future

With a dedicated Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/MyPetrolMalaysia/, MyPetrol invites all Malaysians to join forces in combating rising petrol prices. Together, we aim to create a more informed and connected community, where every piece of information contributes to saving costs and enhancing the overall driving experience.

Behind the Scenes

MyPetrol is crafted by Doki Devs, a team consisting of a single passionate developer who moonlights as an oil and gas chemical engineer during the day. Despite the lack of formal programming education, this individual has embarked on a self-learning journey since February 2016, driven by a love for coding and a commitment to innovation.

The development process is as dynamic as the petrol market itself, influenced by frequent changes in governmental policies. While the team strives to address bugs and incorporate user feedback, it's important to acknowledge the challenges associated with self-taught coding and the evolving nature of the project.

Looking Ahead

As the government continues to navigate its energy policy, the future of MyPetrol remains uncertain. Recent reports suggest that discounts might not materialize as anticipated, adding another layer of complexity to the petrol pricing scenario. Nevertheless, the team remains optimistic, committed to providing the best possible service and fostering a community that supports each other through these challenges.
