Latest Petrol Price Singapore (2022) & Credit Card Promotions for Shell, Esso, Caltex, SPC & Sinopec
Getting a car in Singapore is really complicated because of the 101 things to consider (mostly costs) that help you decide if you really need and can afford a car.
Let’s be honest, you’ll first need to understand the various factors that go into your car’s crazily expensive price tag, and then you’ll need to assess if you’re earning enough to afford a car comfortably.
There are so many other expenses you’ll need to consider, with fuel costs being a major one.
With that said, here’s a breakdown of Singapore’s fuel prices, which are notoriously higher than in most other countries.
Oil Price Increase and Why is Petrol Price Increasing in Singapore
Unfortunately, the petrol price situation has not improved in 2022 as petrol prices have been soaring largely due to Putin’s Russia invading Ukraine and the U.S. UK ban on Russian oil imports.
On Thursday (10 March 2022), Singapore’s Second Trade and Industry Minister, Dr Tan See Leng, said that the Government (via CNA) is closely monitoring the situation.
In response to a query from Member of Parliament (MP) Lim Wee Kiak (PAP-Sembawang) about what the Government is doing to stop profiteering, Second Minister for Trade and Industry Tan See Leng said that:
The Government will continue to monitor price movements in the retail petrol industry… Dr Tan said the overall increase in petrol and diesel prices reflects the rise in the price of crude oil over the past months.
While pump prices are set by the market, the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) keeps a close watch to ensure an open and competitive market.
If there is evidence of anti-competitive behaviour, such as coordinated price increases, CCCS will investigate and take firm enforcement action. Dr Tan said well-informed consumers are also a key deterrent against unreasonable pricing.
How Much Is a Litre of Petrol in Singapore? What Is the Cost of 1 Litre of Petrol?
From 5 January to 3 June 2022, one litre of 95-Octane petrol* from Sinopec increased by a staggering ~22.40%, from S$2.58 per litre to $3.26 per litre.
*Note that this petrol grade was chosen as it is the only grade that all petrol retailers sell. Sinopec also offers the cheapest petrol before discount.
And as you can see from the graph above, all the other petrol retailers have steadily increased their petrol prices too.
If you’re still driving a car, this price comparison and credit card discounts might come in handy in saving some dollars!

What Is Petrol Price in Singapore Today? How Petrol Prices Are Determined in Singapore
Here’s how the petrol prices in Singapore are determined.
1. Singapore Petrol Tax: Can I Use 92 Octane Instead of 95?
There is a fuel excise tax for motor petrol (92 and 95 Octane) and premium motor petrol (98 Octane) in Singapore.
But diesel vehicles aren’t spared either because LTA levies a Special Tax on such vehicles.
In addition, the 7% GST also applies to all fuels (which will be higher very shortly).
2. Handling Costs
- Storage
- Transportation
- Marketing
- Operations
- Retailer profit margin
The cost of the fuel itself is but one of many petrol components, which is why we don’t necessarily see a significant drop in petrol prices even when crude oil prices decrease.
For your convenience, these are the best credit cards in Singapore when it comes to petrol perks and discounts at different fuel companies:

Malaysia Petrol Price Guide: How Much Do You Save Pumping Petrol in Johor Bahru (JB)?
Now that the JB borders are opening, I’m sure most of you plan to drive across the causeway to escape the high petrol costs here.
Based on the calculations by motorist.sg, assuming your car has a fuel tank with a full capacity of 55 litres, the prices of a full tank of petrol in Singapore and Malaysia would be as follows:
| Singapore (RON 95) | Malaysia (RON 97) | |
|---|---|---|
| Full Tank | $125 | $68 |
A few things to note:
- Singaporeans are not allowed to pump RON 95 petrol in Malaysia as it is subsidised there, so the Malaysian prices will be for RON 97 petrol.
- Prices are based on the current exchange rate in Malaysia as of 2 April 2022.
Let’s assume we need to follow the 3/4 rule for our fuel tanks when travelling to JB.
With a fuel capacity of 55 litres, you will need at least 45 litres to be able to cross the border without legal repercussions.
The distance from Singapore to the nearest petrol station in JB will consume roughly 2 litres, leaving you with about 43 litres in the tank.
Therefore, you can fill about 12 litres of petrol in JB, which will cost you about $15
Along with the original 45 litres costing you about $103, you will end up spending roughly $118 on petrol if you choose to fill up your tank in JB.
When we compare it to the full tank in Singapore costing you $125, you can save about $7 when you pump petrol in JB.
Do note that the calculations do not account for the fuel consumed when travelling back to Singapore, nor does it factor in the time taken to travel to and from JB.
Bonus: What Was the Highest Petrol Price in Singapore?
