i went to kota kinabalu last week from brunei with my biker friends to do some uphill and downhill challenge. We did a couple of refuelling and i did notice knocking with petronas 95 and my water temp is hotter. Normally cruising at 120kmh is 78 and after fill up is constantly showing 88. Knocking is apparent at high rev 8k rpm and above so i kept it low. So after a few hundred km we all topped up back with shell 95 and we were all rev happy. After topping up with shell 97, even better.. Like normal. Im not trying to say petronas 95 fuel sucks, it does its job but personally, it wont be going into any of my engines anymore.

Just my thoughts.

regarding the fuel... just stick to RON 97....assume in Brunei they only selling RON 97 not RON 95.??

Hi Pangyau,

I think you saw another group. We went over to KK from 27-30th Nov.

Yeah we only have RON 97, 92, 88 and diesel. Normal daily fuel would be 97.

I have yet to strap my EuroR on a dyno.

have been using 95 since the introduction. no problems so far. touch wood.

filled up with 97 during a short drive up to KL, no difference, so on the way back to JB, filled up with 95. saved me a few bucks for toll

if i'm not mistaken, US not using RON...but something else where the numbers are lower than RON numbers for the same octane:hmmmm:....forgot oredi wat they r using

RON is the standard number in all country. No need to change the fact. I have stay in more than 10 countries. All use RON.
