Just came back from Malaysia after a 13 year long absence. Gas price is around >$0.50/liter, among the cheapest in the world. You don't want this. I know we're all car enthusiasts here but if gas was still this cheap we'd be paying this shit in other ways out our ass through externalities.
The result of gas prices in Kuala Lumpur? Everybody drives. Every fucking road is like 10 lanes wide and you can't walk anywhere. I kid you not, look at a map these days and it looks like LA on steroids now. Don't have a car? No problem! Grab (their version of Uber) rides cost like $3 for a 20 minute ride.
This was the view from our hotel: A beautiful park, the biggest in the city bisected by a massive freeway. Couldn't walk there from the hotel even though it was technically "across the street". No, take a taxi or Grab. FFS
