Yes, I just realized that as well. I went to 2 Petronas and they don't have RON97, only RON95. Why are they doing this?
i used to read that if we mix RON95 with RON97, the new RON is between 95 to 97;...maybe we can try mix RON95 with RON 97 and see if there is any knock..I'll try on my SVT soon...full RON95 and Mix 95 with 97
Enlighten us on this.Just tested RON95... got knocking a bit especially during stop-go situation in 1st or 2nd gear gear. Also knocking more noticeable when VVT kicks in. Power wise cant feel any difference yet, perhaps someone should dyno compare between 97 vs 95. FC don't know yet but more or less should be the same. Will update on this as well.
However, its recommended to have higher fuel press when running RON95 on 20V engine or octane booster.
Octane booster are those fuel additives that you add into the fuel tank to improve RON rating and reduce knocking. I've seen them being sold at Jusco and other stores including Ace Hardware. Famous brands are Stp, Nitrous Express and others. Costs about RM20-30 per bottle.Enlighten us on this.
The price of fuel is killing me, are there any ill effects of mixing our petrol? (i.e. using 95&97 at the same time, mixing basically.)
I wonder if the maths is that exact:hmmmm:. I'm terrible at math. If mixing them would eliminate or reduce the pinging, that would be great.I think if mix ron95 with ron97 shouldn't be an issue, but you will create something new called ron96.
If you talk about math, then u need to bring it to the science lab and do proper testing. But logically, I dont think there will be any issue mixing both RONs. The first moment you pour RON95 into your tank, you are already mixing it with RON97 (assuming you were using RON97 previously), unless you drain out your fuel tank and fill it up with RON95 only, which is very unlikely.I wonder if the maths is that exact:hmmmm:.

I didn't mean mixing would cause issues, rather mixing the two grades to reduce the knocking in our 20valves, (assuming there is knocking, since now I read that some owners didn't encounter that problem).If you talk about math, then u need to bring it to the science lab and do proper testing.

dun worry.. got a solution for the clogged injector and the fuel system, u can crush the mothball and melt it in a storage bottle before pour it into the tank mah.. something like custom fuel octane booster.. muahahaha......If you talk about math, then u need to bring it to the science lab and do proper testing.

Bro cybtech, As for adding crushed mothballs into the tank, I think better not to do this as it might clog the fuel system including the injectors as well. IIRC, mothballs was tested by Mythbusters and they did claim that the engine responded better. I think Toluene should be a better choice to bump up the RON rating. Pls read the earlier link where I posted about the DIY octane booster.
