GLGT - Ron 97 is just a gimmick

1) RON95 gives you more mileage​

Surprisingly, and contrary to popular belief, our dyno test revealed that RON95 actually gives you about 9.4% more mileage than RON97. While we drained the Myvi completely off fuel, there is a possibility of “old” fuel left in the fuel lines, but this should not affect the test results significantly.

Our dyno was not set up to measure mileage and we used the in-car tripmeter to measure this and we will admit that it was not the most accurate way to measure mileage in this scenario.

We tried to be as consistent as we could with each test run. However, it is worth noting that variables in real-life such as the load on your car, road conditions and even air resistance will cause this particular result to differ even more.

Even with the different variables, taking everything into account and giving the test a 5% margin of error, RON95 still gives you quite a bit more in fuel economy (especially considering it’s quite a bit cheaper than RON97).

really msia boleh...... self tested and dyno by msian..... should rebrand 97 as chop tourist petrol.......

RON is a measure of Research Octane Number, the number indicates the compression the fuel can withstand before detonating. It do not and cannot increase the power output of the fuel, so much for psychological feel if you think it does LOL.

 

[darkmatt]

if your car cannot make use of 97, you put 97 is waste money lol. (normally those really entry level cars are like that)

but if your car can make use of 97, you will be able to see and feel the difference.

Isn't the number just a rating on how high temp it can't withstand before chibaboooomz? Only those sohais think higher number means more mileage...

That's why some sports car cannot pump low grade cos will boomz earlier then got engine knock and will spoilz

Whoever said higher RON = more distance, please la...

 

[tankgunner]

some cars cannot take 95 and below

 

[drkcynic]

Might as well say V power is a gimmick because it gives you less mileage?

 

[bobo07]

go see lowyat forum also claim ron97 is snake oil......

It’s called the placebo effect

heng moi pump 98

 

[sseasea]

some cars cannot take 95 and below

Wrx can only take 98
Put 95 reduced power as per manual

 

[xiaosinsinful]

Even if that’s the case you go MY also cannot pump 95 or risk being infamous over night

That's true, especially turbo charged engine do require higher RON since it is more prone to engine knocking. Higher RON is more resistant to engine knocking as it combust at higher temperature. That's why normal NA car, the min RON is usually RON 87-89.

So just go for 95 can liao

 

[tankgunner]

Wrx can only take 98
Put 95 reduced power as per manual

will get knocking too.

those who believe will believe ...... just like some even say jiuhu petrol will spoil engine........only laughing behind huans are the sellers.......

Higher RON doesn't give you more mileage nor more power, explained many times but people still don't believe. Just let those ignorant people believe what they want.
