RON 95 issue

[shaharel]

Guys!

Have any of you guys fill-up with RON95? What is the affect? Most of the petrol station here in Terengganu stop selling RON97! They only sell 95! I haven't top-up my tank yet afraid the engine will knock. How?? Anyone?

or can I buy some sort like octane booster (STP) temporary fill in? then drive to KL later to tune it again.

octane booster will up your RON rating by about 0.1-0.2 points.... won't make much difference....

shaharel, there is a good discussion about Ron95 & Ron97 at the 'Malaysia Celica Forum'. Maybe you might wanna join the discussion or have a look on the past discussion. TQ
