When Petron Malaysia launched its Blaze 100 Euro 4M petrol in 2016, the market was abuzz with the introduction of the RON 100 fuel, which brought a new level of fuel performance to Malaysian consumers. Since its debut, the premium petrol has been a firm favourite with those looking for a fuel to provide gains in performance.
According to the company, improved power and engine responsiveness aren’t the only advantages the fuel offers. Better fuel consumption is another benefit, especially on long-distance travels. To establish that, Petron recently tested Blaze 100 for its hallmark properties as well as fuel consumption with Malaysian customers, using various vehicles.
The top benefit reported by customers from the evaluation was instant responsiveness, followed by better fuel economy and a fuel that is best for an enjoyable smooth drive on long-distance travels.
Daniel Chin Wei Xiong enthused over the performance of Blaze 100 on his Nissan GT-R. “It feels more powerful as it provides me with better acceleration. My engine feels much more responsive with RON 100 and the pick-up is faster. You can feel the improved power when overtaking. My engine is much smoother now and it gave me better mileage. It is such an enjoyable feeling to drive with RON 100, totally different,” he said.
Volkswagen Golf owner Lim Jae Sam concurred. “The fuel offers me a slight power gain and more responsive acceleration,” he said. Meanwhile, motorcyclist Tan Meng Keat, who fueled his Yamaha MT-09 with Blaze 100, said that he noted the instant response after using the fuel.
“I really feel the burst of power and acceleration when I twist my throttle. The response is instant. It only takes me six seconds to get from a rolling 50 km/h to 100 km/h,” he explained. Tan added that his motorcycle gave a smoother sound with less vibrations, while Chin said that his GT-R’s engine felt “smoother and slightly quieter” when running on Petron Blaze 100.
The customers also tested their vehicles on highways to report on fuel consumption. Their feedback was unanimous that Blaze 100 is fuel efficient. Lim said that fuel consumption on his Golf improved by 15% as compared to other fuels. “It is much better with Petron Blaze 100 and I believe the fuel can make a difference to my running costs in the long run. Definitely worth the premium,” he said.
As for Chin, he said that Blaze 100 gave him better mileage than RON 97, which he usually uses. “A full tank gives me about 350 km, which can last me between one to two weeks. I do believe Petron Blaze 100 will provide better value for money in the long run as it also gives me engine protection on top of the better mileage,” he said.
With a superior TriAction Advantage formulation that combines a fully-synthetic detergent, organic combustion improver and friction modifier, Petron says its Blaze 100 burns more efficiently and thus enhances engine responsiveness and cleanliness while lowering fuel consumption, as concluded by the test drives.
According to Choong Kum Choy, head of retail and commercial business at Petron Malaysia, the company is committed to deliver innovative products that are exceptional and enhance customer experience. “Our Blaze 100 is one such product. With the demand for Blaze 100, we have the fuel available at more than 100 stations today. This is to ensure that more consumers can have the opportunity to enjoy this exceptional fuel,” he said.
Petron Blaze 100 is now available at more than 100 Petron service stations throughout Malaysia. The unregulated fuel is currently priced at RM3.08 per litre for the March 18-24 week.

Why need to show GTR photo. Try on Saga lah
This feels like sponsored content, yet I see no indication of such. Am I wrong?
Worth every cent, RM3.08 per liter. Terboek
Can I put Blaze 100 on Kancil?
it will transform become a myvi
RON100 amazed!
owners of S54 powered Beemers, K20A powered Honda (Type R)s and other ICE with stratospheric comp ratio that require min RON99 can now rejoice- their rides can now develop full power.
This is not a double blind test. Statistically and scientifically unsound. The participants knew the type of fuel being used and so is biased towards it. It’s a bit like someone praising your partner and then you look at your partner in a different light!
Didn’t PT did a comparison on fuel grades and found that higher than RON95 has negligible improvements vs the price difference?
https://paultan.org/2015/02/04/ron-95-vs-ron-97-fuel-test-use/
Time for PT to do new fuel shootout. blaze 100 vs vpower racing vs primax 97. This kind of tests is common overseas but not here. Come on, have some ballsy journalism.
Cannot see difference. Must compare Blaze100 with RON95 then got clear winner.
Blaza 100?
While we are getting better mileage, but don’t forget that we have already paid higher cost per liter, compare to Ron95/97.
Truly powerful fuel proven my right foot lightly pressing the fuel pedal, car already hits 200kmph
Seriusly la, most of the melaysian don’t care about it. No matter how powerful or how advance the formula of the oil, Melaysian would still prefer RON95 becuz of budget.
When the consumption pattern is based on the budget, everything must be cheap la, ni concept Melaysian la, kami xnak v6, kami xnak hybrid, kami nk murah.
yeah..i second u.. minyak malaysia mahal..
As compared to…?
(crickets)….
I am also a Petron RON100 user. Personally I drive a Toyota Vios (the dugong type) and can said this fuel provide a very good fuel consumption (can travel 1 full tank @ 6xx km) if u maintain the speed around 110-120kmh.
U will get more mileage if u take the extra cost paid for ron100 and fuel up with ron95
Should do double blind study. The experience mqybe due to phsycologicql effect of the term use on pump station (&reciept)
Now the Euro4 Ron95, Ron97 are pretty good too.
Less reason to go for heavily priced Ron100, although confirm better as the octane number suggest. As long as QAQC in control, by logistic and storage condition.
Mahal namampos..
Fuel for rich people
paling penting ada pilihan dan clean fuel
The vehicles that were mentioned in the above article were likely factory tuned for best engine performance with petrol fuel that is rated higher than RON97. For vehicles that were already factory tuned to run at its best on lower octane petrol (some as low as RON90), putting in RON100 fuel will not provide any significant benefit in performance (except may be reducing the incidence of knocking if the combustion chambers are coated with carbon or when lugging the engine in high gear at lower speeds).
It is not right to say RON 100 giving more mileage consider that the current price is RM 3.08 while the RON 97 is RM 2.47 with different of RM 0.61 per litre. If compare with RON 95 the gap enlarge to RM 1.03 which is more than half of RON 95 price.
50 litre
RON 100 is RM 154
RON 97 is RM 123.50
RON 95 is RM 102.50
As someone of the article said the RON 100 giving extra mileage by 15% (very subjective estimation) however the price incremental over the RON 97 is 24.5% while RON 95 is 50%. This is huge amount in long run if the fuel price keep increase given that the RON 95 is capped at RM 2.05 while RON 100 and 97 are following market price.
But 1 thing I assure is after using RON100 (I pump RON100 during MCO 1.0 due to the price is cheap) the engine is smoother and more responsive throttle response which gives better power. But is it justified with the price over 50% higher than RON 95 is subject to individual.
What about last time many so-called car experts claimed that higher RON doesn’t mean more power or mileage?
Instead of “i feel this, I feel that, etc”, are there any hard data to back the claimed performance of the petrol? Be specific please.
Anyway, how do you consider and define “added performance”? Add 0.5hp? Add 0.05 hp? or add 50hp?
How does this performance petrol benefits such and such types of cars? I mean, will this petrol improve the performance of my grandfather’s Toyota KE20?
Come on, let’s be more technical on this matter.
We’ve done a dyno test with 5 cars and 2 bikes here: https://paultan.org/2019/08/30/video-ron100-versus-ron95-in-malaysia-can-petron-blaze100-fuel-provide-more-hp-and-torque/
but that is in 2019 with Euro 2 95? now 95, 97 is with Euro 4. hmm…
Euro-grade (mostly sulphur content) affects emissions more than it does performance.
I think we should do a dyno run 5 cars, same spec. 5 petrol brands.
95 Shell, Petronas, Petron, BHP, Caltex
97 Shell, Petronas, Petron, BHP, Caltex.
It may not be areal life driving scenario but these would be interesting to read.
I feel cheated..at RM1 difference every litre compare to Ron95, it is better to get the 95 and have extra spare everyday for nasi lemak, roti canai and teh tarik.
Beza hrga lbh RM1 dgn Ron95 dan 70 sen dgn ron97, xdenye jimat. Isi RM50 ron95 dapat 24 liter, isi ron100 dapat 16 liter. 8 liter beza, jimat Rm16 setiap kali isi RM50. So, x berbaloi kecuali mmg kereta performance dan tak kisah bab duit.
For car engines designed for optimal performance using RON 97, a switch to RON 100 will not provide significant benefits.
RON100 does get more benefits based on performance and cleaner engine
One says he can get 350 km per tank, better mileage than RON 97. But, where’s the RON 97 figure? 349 km? 340 km?
One say he gets instant response, 6 sec from 50 km/hr to 100 km/hr. Previously, what is the response time?
I have a suspicion that other type of fuel gives better figure. That’s why they dare not share the other figure.
The only selling point here is the “feeling”.
kereta marhaen buat ape nak isi ron100? kalau ada ron75 pn rakyat akan isi la. tak kesah power ke tak, janji boleh pakai rim enkei copy ori
Butt dyno confirmed. Must be true.
50% more expensive than Ron95 and 20% more than Ron97. But fuel saving is only 10-15% of Ron95.
Once in a while to cleanse ur engine or whatever ok la. Premium petrols are not for fuel savings anyway.
Better mileage. Yes. U paid more right.
Fuel savings? no!
