Ron97 – Power! Less fuel consumption
Ron95 – Lousy…

My Toyota Celica 7th Generation
Ron97 – Cool!!!!
Ron95 – ZzZ

My mom’s Kia Karens
Ron97 – Low Power…
Ron95 – Power!

can someone of professional calibre or organization do a proper research..i can donate RM10, if the rest of us drivers an each give rm10 & set up a trust fund to kickstart project…we could hv millions to do a PROPER research whether this is myth or not. make the research free from gov or any oil-related Cos interruptions……even if the guy/woman is a respected/qualified oil engineer/mngr/topshot with years of exp..I WONT BUY HIM/HER….as these people more or less are similar with people who do business & keep saying they’ree making not-too-much profit from selling things to you…..go die i say to these people….

so the public can get the benefit from this sickening doubt-of-which-RON-is-better & put issue to rest. i know i may sound like cock-talking & understand that talk is cheap but this is just my 2cents.

chiaoooo~

Hari raya recently I went back to Ipoh and used up RM35 of RON 95 BHP petrol from my home in Bangi. I was doing max 180km/h whenever possible but average about 140km/h due to traffic condition.

Hope u guys can get good FC from using BHP Ron 95 like me.

BHP 95 – RM50 will take me anything from 300-400km depending on driving condition.

I’ve always reached 400km on normal driving conditions on BHP 95 but have not been able to get the same mileage on other petrol.

Please try urself if u dont believe my words. I’m saving $$ everyday I drive and smiling feeling to have saved on petrol.

FYI. I’m staying in Bangi and travels a lot to KL for business.

I have try three type of RON. RON 95, RON97 and RON130 (only at Petronas), no different using my ISWARA 93 except for RON130, I have to use TAP (device that changing timing for engine using RON130). without the TAP, using RON130, my ISWARA lost some performance. Ye laaa, RON 90 to RN130 very big different on RON number

My Nazaria and kancil also using RON95.

My petrol station = PETRONAS

what Encik Razak say is true, all RAW oil are the same. The different only

additive.

The Owner's Manual stated that .. fuel type recommended is..unleaded gasoline, Research Octane Number 90 or higher…

… in my understanding… the word 'higher' at the end of the statement means.. the higher the RON value will give better effect for my car..

any idea…???

As far as I know, all the petrol company use the same raw gasoline and then the company such Esso, shell or others just add their own chemical (additive) / Gasoline additives to increase gasoline's octane rating and also depend on how much the usage of additive been used (no one know for sure) which makes the different. What make it worst is some of the Station will illegally add with kerosene or paraffin (minyak tanah) just to gain more profit. It is also advisable to use another gadget for performance such as magnetic, compressor, grounding cable and voltage stabilizer.

I copy and paste here just in case some of you are lazy enough to click the link.

Petrol RON 95 vs 97 Price is Cheaper but Under Power for Most of the Cars.

A lot of people already tried to use the Petrol RON 95 since Malaysia implemented it from 1st of September 2009, but after compare the Petrol RON 95 vs 97, the price is cheaper than RON 97, but a lot of cars performance is under power. In another word, you may get the same price vs mileage if you are using the RON 95 now versus you used the RON 97 previously.

Existing price for Petrol RON below:-

RON 95 = RM1.80/litre

RON 97 = RM2.05/litre

RON = Research Octane Number. RON is a rating number and a way to rate the petrol in a test engine with condition, then get the rating number after compare the results for mixtures of iso-octane & n-heptane. If you see the higher RON number, mean the petrol have higher resistance toward pre-ignition or detonation. Most of the F1 racing cars or Airplane are using the RON 100 or greater RON / MON / AKI.

So, it means that

RON 95 = MON 85-86 = AKI 90-91

Today, I had lunch with my friends and we talked about this Petrol RON 95. All of us already tried the RON 95, but our conclusion is the price for RON 95 is cheaper, but we all agreed the car performance really underpowered. They also share the experience from his / her friends or family, and so far most of them not really like the RON 95. If you are using below car models, then you may need to monitor it as most of the people (friends or friend of friends) complain the car is under power after use the RON 95. If you compare the price (full tank / mileage) for RON 95 vs RON 97 after few tries and the result is not much different, then propose you to use back the RON 97, as is good for your car engine for long run and better performance.

Car Models (especially Car with Automatic Transmission):-

Proton Savvy, Perodua Myvi, Proton Wira, Honda Civic, Honda City, KIA Optima, NAZA RIA, Nissan SENTRA, Perodua Kelisa, Proton Waja, Toyota Vios, Proton Saga, Proton Persona, Perodua Kenari, Nissan Cefiro, Naza Suria, Kia Spectra

Replace the RON 92 to RON 95, although provide a better Petrol quality for most of the transportation, but if most of the cars consume the Petrol RON 95 fuel more than RON 97 fuel, then means that it put the burden back to us and help the Petrol companies gain more profit. I think this is the strategies from Petrol companies and government, as if government try to control them not to increase the petrol price, then I believe this is another way to help the Petrol companies. We use it, we pay it, they gain it!

ENJOY…

all u need to do is a little mod of your throttle body @ carburetor..

i've done mine at my GEN2 and CHARADE + my fathers UNSER..

it turned out to have much more satisfying performance rather than the unmodified setting..

*please,use the brain,not blaming the petrol company

-i'm 18,but wise..

IS PETRONAS!

What car you drive anyway? I suggest here everybody should mention what type of vehicle used. Mine is Ford laser 1.6 year 92, Nissan Sylphy 2.0 and Honda 125 Motorcycles.

for me RON95 is hopeless… TQ

"You must have pump V-Power, it's so powerful."

I think, all our views on RON 95 might affecting us to judge the power itself. Sometimes, when we pay less, we think it is surely lower quality than the others. Which i think is stupid enough.

The FC wise, no change. I still getting 480KM from it. Usually is 490KM. Which i think it become less because I rev it alot cos is fun! hahaha

i am using bhp97 for 2 tanks already.

power and pickup is good.

try it and feel the difference.

don't use ron95 if possible…powerless..

SAME LIKE RON92

HOW COME SOME PEOPLE STILL CAN SAY RON 95 IS GOOD FOR THEIR CAR?

SWITCH BACK TO RON97…POWER IMMEDIATELY RESTORED.

I'm driving ford laser 92 1.6 SOHC. The result is less power, less pick up, engine knocking.. VERY..VERY BAD. RON97 more stable and pick up in performance.

B13 by sister reported ron 95 need to crank twice to start

iswara by mom ron 95 same.

kenari by wife i meassured mileage from previous 11.9-12.4 to 13-14/ liter.

N16 my self mileage previous 12.9-13/ liter turned to have bigger margin 11+-14/liter.

maybe ron 95 optimal at certain condition, which made the variation.

but ron 97 always provides stable performance less dependent on the other factors.

i knew this is all about it, higher ron is for the more stable and predictable combustion.

lower octane tend to explode rather than stable combustion, especially in higher temp, leaner Air:fuel ratio. this two is all the criteria for modern engine.

the root is the petrol price is to be raised

but this will be objected

how?

by creating another 'new lower grade' product to substitute the new product at the same price.

got it?

then wait for all the psycological turmoil, upset…..people will start to beg for the ron 97…

okla, okla

later same old ron97 will reappear officially at higher price…no every stupid one will against it anymore.

110% logic right?

So at theend of the day we are forced to use the higher price RM 2.05 RON 97. As everybody know we produce over 600000 barrels of crude oil every day and a petroleum producer, and still we pay higher price for our petrol Saudi Arabia petrol per liter is RM 0.60 per liter. Diesel is RM 0.20 1 Rm = 1.1Saudi Riyal.

RON 95 – change to RON 97.

All Malaysian including Myself been fooled yet again by the GOV.

Think Malaysian!!!!! Don't be fool again. Never again.

switch back to r97 ans immediately power restored.

using city idsi 06.

petrol type is bhp brand.

no problem using RON95 or RON97 – same performance, because iswara spec only require RON92. RON97 more power? no laaa just in our mind only.

because my Iswara also run on RON130, no extra power pun.

The cheaper price very tempting unfortunately the car shivering too much.

There is a visible difference the moment you switch grades but after that it is not so obvious.

Get free back massage whilst driving and palms too.

been using ron95 since its out in malaysia. few months after using found that rpm not stable – car jerking – spark plug black already (denso iridium). change spark plug (NGK- rm20) car straight away become stable.continue using rom95. Today, after one month changing spark plug only, car start to jerk- rpm not stable up and down even if its idle… take out spark plug and see, spark plus burn already.. change again spark plug today (NKG-rm20) car return back to normal.no jerking and stable.. i think its because of ron95… will be using ron97 after this…
