Most cars can use RON95, says Ministry
THERE is no truth to the claim that RON95 petrol can damage a car’s engine, according to the Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism Ministry. Deputy Minister Datuk Tan Lian Hoe said the ministry was unaware of notices displayed at some petrol stations telling the public that RON95 fuel could damage some types of car models. “We will send our enforcement officers to conduct checks on these petrol stations,” she said to a supplementary question by Datuk Johari Abdul (PKR — Sg Petani). Johari had said the notices, shown at some petrol stations, but not Petronas, listed the type of cars that cannot use RON95. “These cars are also used by MPs, like vehicles with 1.6-litre capacity and above. “This can mean there is sabotage against RON95. Maybe the notices are suggesting that RON95 users are buying lower quality petrol,” he added. Earlier, Tan said most cars in the country can use RON95 petrol. She added that consumers in major car manufacturing countries in Japan, Europe and the United States also used RON 95. Tan told Hamim Samuri (BN — Ledang) that the Government allowed the sale of RON97 and RON95 petrol to give consumers a choice. “Good quality petrol is not necessarily one with a higher RON or Research Octane Number value, but one which suits the engine,” she said.
