nice ride bro with the roof rack. u can use 95 ron with no problem.. i use 95 since bought till now.. but sometime i use 97 ron just to clear the leftover additive.. but i know 97 ron can get better mileage.. happy boosting..

95 can use no problem but if high boost on hot days, u need 95 else pinging. If completely stock, is okay!

driving a turbo car needs more attention....long term plan to prolong ur engine
if u drive more on cooler air ambiance...ron95 should b ok
more on hot like hell days..u need at least ron97 or methanol kit(water only) to reduce detonation that will seriously damage ur engine..ur conrod n crankshaft most probably need new 1.

Convert to FMIC. Better for hot days. No need to BBQ yr inter'hotter'. Defeats the purpose of cooling the air. Better for 95 n FMIC.

FMIC works a lot better on hot days compared to tmic. So in a way, less knocking in hot afternoon. So u can use 95 compared to 97. In a way fmic contributes advantage.

It's better to measure by km/L or L/100km cos our fuel prices fluctuates.

Anyway, Rm0.34 per KM means 6.17km/L. It's considered normal for me but high if your car is completely stock. Is there any mods at all? I would suggest to check the following.

1) Air filter can be a big culprit. Clogged filter not only robs your power, it robs your wallet too!
2) I presume engine oil and ATF changed when you collected the car? If yes, then it's fine.
3) Check all your vacuum pipes. If it's original, it might cracked and leak (it's over 10 year old anyway). Leaky pipes can contribute to lost of power + high fuel consumption.
4) Check your plugs. Bad plugs can be really badass.

There's a whole lot more to check but start with these first. Good luck!

Yes small rubber hoses. I've changed all to silicon ones... rubber cracks after 10 years.

To good to be true (to me)... well, based on your judgement bro. If seller is reputable, then maybe it's genuine.
