COMMENTARY

Malaysia's GDP per capita is not $9,572.91 per person. According to official Govt stats after Budget 2006, its roughly around half that figure. The $9,572.91 per person is more in line towards the purchasing power parity.

Chris, It cost us RM1.92 per litre of the RON 97. About the cheapest in the region. Come over and see the country by car!
