Oh yah! you started it in 2015.....lolWow, this thread still going stronk! Haha!
RON100 i do feel the difference, 97 and 95 probably just butt feel.

While people are all talking about high ron fuel, I actually wish Malaysia can have lower ron (90-92) at cheaper price so can use that instead for my lousy Livina to save cost even more!
We used to have 92, but price was not far off. They came out with 95 to cater for the masses.....lol
How much was the difference in price back then? If it were over 20 cents I'd still buy it.We used to have 92, but price was not far off. They came out with 95 to cater for the masses.....lol
Can la bro! In Indonesia, most Livina just use Ron88, no problem leh! The compression ratio is only 9,5:1, so definitely can use ron90-92.your livina wont accept ron92....
it would ping and check engine light came out...
Some same car might have regional tune to cater for different market fuel availability. for instance, most car in Thailand are tuned for ethanol compatible while the same car in Malaysia might not be compatible with their E20 fuel.Can la bro!

about 30-40 sen diff if not mistaken back then...How much was the difference in price back then? If it were over 20 cents I'd still buy it.
the car sold to country specific have been tuned from factory to suits the fuel...Can la bro! In Indonesia, most Livina just use Ron88, no problem leh! The compression ratio is only 9,5:1, so definitely can use ron90-92.
I still think it can because the compression ratio is not high. Maybe 88 is pushing it a bit too low but 91/92 should be good enough. Even if may knock, should be minimal and I'm sure can easily be remapped to fix it. Just for example my SSS, compression ratio is much higher at 11:1, more highly tuned for sporty characteristics than that Livina and people keep saying it can only drink 97 but I use 95 still fine so far despite remapping to be more aggressive with RRP v2 maps and I've been driving it like nuts most of the time, yet no knocking or check engine light up.about 30-40 sen diff if not mistaken back then...

if u bring your current car directly pump ron88.. then your engine gg liao... ecu can compensate to certain extend within their programmed parameter limit...
once u fill in fuel beyond the ecu programmed limit...check engine light went like christmas tree lorrr....
new government same interest as old government. LOL. sorry off topic.I still think it can because the compression ratio is not high.

I tell you, this country is too pampered with high octane fuel. Even old cars or low powered cars like my lousy Livina are forced to drink 95 while actually can save more by just drinking 90-92. If the new government now really want to help people to save more, they should reintroduce 92 at 30-40 cents cheaper than 95. I'd be very happy to buy the 92 if it were 30-40 cents cheaper like back then!
Sorry to say, apparently ron92 are not that cheap.How much was the difference in price back then? If it were over 20 cents I'd still buy it.
Yup, very little difference only. If not, I would have used Ron92 but was using 97 all along until they introduce 95 and 97Sorry to say, apparently ron92 are not that cheap.
i dont know how accurate is this, but then there are no reason to forge a fake/inaccurate petrol price archive anyway.

Yeah too little difference if just 10-15 cents on average. Need to have similar price difference as 95 to 97 now then it's more worth it.Sorry to say, apparently ron92 are not that cheap.
