Higher sulphur content is actually good for the engine but like you said - bad for the catcon.
Even for modern engines higher sulphur content is good?

My car is runed to run ron97.....But personally......My car feels lethargic when i pump BHP and Shell (except the red vpower racing)....So i always pump Petronas, Caltex and Petron for me....I dont know why BHP and Shell has that effect on my car......

Interesting. Lately I found Petronas RON 97 to offer better mileage than BHP RON 97.

This is on a turbocharged vehicle. On a stock Myvi with the 1.3L K3VE, Petronas and Shell RON95 gave the worst mileage.

Even the new BHP97 still makes my car feels sluggish. The sound also different. Like very "heavy" sound. My wife also say why so noisy and suspect that i change muffler :banghead::banghead::banghead:

So i only pump 97 from Petronas, Caltex and Petron. And one thing i realise is, after i pump caltex and then pump back petronas or petron, my mileage is higher. Example is my average mileage is i pump petronas is like 430-450km. After i pump Caltex, and pump back petronas or petron, i get about 450-480km.....

My interpretation is when u pump in Caltex, it is cleaning your engine on that full tank. Once the engine is cleaned u pump in other brand so that brand is running on cleaner engine hence better mileage?

I pumped in Petronas todayon my way bacl to Kuala Pilah as too lazy taking detour to find Caltex or BHP or Petron.

I know its too early to say but i feel like this new formula is better than the old one. I felt like i am using BHP. I will see these 1-2 days when i will used up the fuel and see the fc.
