Track your Budi95 petrol & diesel.

Published

Three taps per fill-up. One tag. A monthly total you can actually do something about. Built for Malaysia's targeted RON95 and diesel subsidy.

The setup, in three steps

  1. 1

    Make a "Petrol" tag

    Once. In Duitful, open Settings → Tags → New and add Petrol (and Diesel if you drive both). Pick a colour you'll recognise.

  2. 2

    Log every fill-up

    After each pump, hit + Expense → enter the ringgit amount → pick the Petrol tag → save. Ten seconds, including the receipt photo if you want OCR.

  3. 3

    Read the monthly total

    On the dashboard, filter by tag. The total at the top is what you've actually spent on petrol this month. No spreadsheet maths.

Why this matters now

RM 200

Monthly diesel subsidy cap (Budi Madani, eligible vehicles)

Refer to KPDN for current eligibility & quota

Budi95 is Malaysia's targeted fuel subsidy programme. Eligible drivers get subsidised RON95 or diesel up to a monthly cap; everything beyond it is at unsubsidised market rates. Without tracking, you only find out on the pump screen.

Spreadsheet vs Duitful

Pen, paper, or Excel

  • Forget to log a fill-up
  • Lose receipts in the glovebox
  • Re-key everything at month-end
  • No quick "what did I spend in March?"

Duitful with a Petrol tag

  • One tap from the home screen
  • Snap the receipt, OCR pulls amount
  • Tag inherits forever — no re-typing
  • Month total = one filter

Bonus moves

  1. 1

    Snap, don't type

    Pro receipt OCR pulls the amount, date, and station name from a photo. Useful when a queue forms behind you.

  2. 2

    Tag the company car separately

    Add a second tag like Petrol · work if you'll claim mileage. Filter by either tag at year-end.

  3. 3

    Watch the trendline

    Open Reports → Petrol to see month-over-month. A 25% jump usually means a longer commute, not a price hike.

Common questions

Does Duitful know my Budi95 quota balance?

No — only KPDN's app does. Duitful tracks what you spent. Compare it against your remaining quota in the official channel; Duitful tells you the ringgit half of the equation.

Can I track diesel and RON95 separately?

Yes. Make two tags: RON95 and Diesel. Each fill-up gets one tag. Reports filter cleanly by tag.

What if I pay with TNG e-Wallet or a fleet card?

Doesn't matter — log the ringgit amount, tag it Petrol. The payment method is a second tag if you want to break it down later.

Does fuel data leave my phone?

No. Every entry is encrypted on-device with AES-GCM. No server has it. Even Pro receipt OCR runs locally.
