Price of gasoline at the Malysian Pumps - Rakyat Subsiding the government



Estimate cost of crude oil purchase , refining and Pump price. I used the Overseas production cost data and it is more expensive in terms of labour cost than the refining cost in Malaysia.
are paying their salaries. Do not take things for granted and by courteous will dealing with the general public. If the General public stops buying gasoline or buys less gasoline the civil service salary will be in arrears. That is why when less money in the treasury , the government raises gasoline prices to cover the shortfall and the civil servants get paid.

Conversion 1 Gal to 4.546 liters

1.      Barrel of crude oil has 42 US gallons and costs about $56 (RM 246.40).

2.      The cost per gallon is USD1.33(RM 5.85 )

3.       Tax totals 0%, the non-processing cost is about USD 1.33 ( RM 5.85) per Gallon

4.      People (workers, management, engineers, etc.) add about 20 cents cost to each gallon

5.       The distribution and sales probably add another 25 or 30 cents per gallon.

6.      Now the total is about USD 1.63 ( RM 7.17 ) per Gallon – cost 1 Liter RM 1.58

7.       If the gasoline sells for USD 2.37 – RM 10.46 ( RON 95 – RM 2.30 RON 97 – RM 2.60 Diesel RM 2.15  - Average RM 2.35 Including 6% GST ) - (  The processing costs (capital to build a refinery, the energy to fire furnaces and create high pressure steam, waste treatment and disposal) cost cannot be greater than about 18 to 20 cents per gallon. In my opinion, this number may be a little high, but less than 8 cents per gallon is unrealistic and 18 or 20 cents is about right

8.      Cost to produce and sell USD 1.83 ( RM 8.05 )

9.      Prices at Pump USD 2.37 – 10.46  including GST  6% ( Do not know of government taxes included in the production and selling including  GST 6% )

10.   Profit USD 0.54 per gallon RM 2.38 per – Profit per liter RM 0.53

11.   Total Fuel consumption 745,000 US Barrels per day = 142,244,340 Liters per day ( 2014 figures ) x Profit RM 0.53 cents = RM 75,389,500 per day x 365 days = RM 27,517,167,573 Profit per day ( Government hidden revenue as the Price to produce Gasoline RM 8.05 per liter including PETRONAS/ Shell , Exxon etc. cost and profits ) This is 2014 figures and if Gasoline consumption have increase by 20% to 2016 than additional of RM 5,503,433,514 in profits = estimate 2016 Profits RM 33,020,601,088

12.   1 cent increase in Gasoline prices translates into  RM 623,030,209 yearly or daily RM 1,706,932 Forecast Price increase of RM.20 per Liter for Diesel , RON 95 and RON 97= Translates into RM 34,138,640 daily and Yearly RM 12,460,603,600

13.   The profits for the Petroleum derivatives from processing of crude oil –Engine oil, Plastics Nylon, Chemicals etc. and all the production and sale of LPG not included.

14.   Safe bet Government makes a total of RM 60 to 70 Billion Ringgits from indirect taxes and profits. The price at the pump is set by the government and this is taken into calculation in the production and sale price of gasoline from the major producers and all extra pricing is government revenue. The government is the wholesaler as the producers sell the Gasoline at a set price and then the government sets another price and takes the profits
