I just filled up my car (M54) engine with RON95 as per the manual (Research Method fuel apart from RON 98). Since my M54 engine has a knock control function, it can run on different grades of fuel. With regard to RON 91, my manual recommends me to use it only in exceptional circumstances.
I have a very good first impression on RON 95. The engine immediately feels quieter. This is very evident. Performance wise, on the highway I can't tell the difference from RON 97. After all, all the performance and fuel consumption figures are based on RON 98. Based on my manual, RON 97 is like neither here, nor there. At least RON 95 is Research Method fuel. Probably, this is the reason why the engine is quieter. Apart from this, I feel my consumption feels better with RON 95 compared to RON 97. This is just my initial observation. To be confirmed later.
I heard in Thailand, there's no RON 97. Only RON 95. So, I guess it's OK to fill your car with RON 95.

Jus another way to screw the tax paying Rakyat...increase the current fuel price and give us an inferior alternative and expect people to accept and be happy...sigh...typical

Ron 95 mula 1 sept - Car Model CAN and CAN'T use RON 95‏

-Hi.. Frens,

Juz 4 info, September juz around the corner.., Our Goverment akan
menetapkan pada 1 September minyak hijau RON97 akan dinaikkan ke
RM2.00p/liter (it's depends pada harga minyak global). Maka kerajaan
memperkenalkan minyak baru RON95 (compulsory pada semua station minyak
di Malaysia) harga syiling dan dikawal sepenuhnya oleh our Goverment
seliter RM1.75. So korang dah bleh test ngan minyak baru ni di station
minyak yang terpilih.

Kebanyakan kereta sesuai ngan minyak baru ni lagipun ianya murah. Be
carefull n lihat listing n jenis kereta yg u all guna.

thanx n regards.

Hi all,

I've checked from E36 manual and found min specs for oil is 89 AKI which is RON 95 is save to use as it is still better for min requirements. Dun worry as BMW manuals already confirm that....

Bro, have you ever tried RON 95? To me RON 95 is far from being inferior. Let's put it this way - I think the Government should introduce RON 95 much much earlier.
As for my car, RON 95 fits like a glove. I am now getting 8 litre/100km city driving (My city driving consists of Shah Alam, P.J area and federal highway). This figure is amazing for a 2.5 litre car. Probably, my recent ECU remapping also plays a role. I still haven't got the chance to test its highway performance. Engine is quieter compared to RON 97. With the price of RM1.70 per litre the savings is even greater.



Here's one of the most interesting RON 95 Q & A session I found online.


Chevron’s product engineering manager Greg Engeler was first
quoted as saying contradicting statements on RON differences has a
bearing on performance. The reply given on NST Sunday Times on
July 2 is even more contradicting because he says if the RON required
is 91 then the fuel used should be 92 to prevent knocking on hard
acceleration. Therefore, most cars today have a requirement of
RON97 so they have to use RON98 which is not available or we
Malaysians just use what we can get. Now the Government is
introducing RON95 and says it is the best, where is the data to prove
its worth? Either there is a hand and glove game going on between
the industries players and writers or just herd mentality to play
along. Although there is so much data available from developed
countries, why not just learn from their experiences and implant the
best for our country. We can’t learn from our trials and errors by
bulldozing it through by just saying is cheaper by 5 cents. Please
open your minds with these limitless options and once and for all
close this subject on RON performances. – Ananda Jagadev,

Reply: Ananda, thank you for your query. Allow me to clarify the misinterpreted
statements by referring you to my response to “RON Confusion” (the initial
printed reply on July 28 was courtesy of the Editor). That being said, let’s look
at the data supporting RON95’s implementation.

RON95 fuel is widely accepted worldwide, particularly in Europe. The usage of
RON95 is over 80 per cent in Europe because of the European standards fuel.
In Australia and Thailand, it accounts to about 20 per cent, gradually
becoming the main grade fuel around the world. This indicates Malaysia has
been doing her homework.

Malaysia is not far behind in introducing the fuel, despite its availability in the
early 1990s. Advantages of using RON95 depend on the specification and
engine design of the cars. For example, if a car is designed to run on RON95
but uses RON97, motorists may not necessarily experience better
performance. And, if a car needs RON97 and uses RON95, it may not be a
good thing either. It all comes back to using the fuel that the engine is
designed to run.

An added bonus to the introduction is that it positions the country to take
advantage of the latest technologies from Europe and Japan, engines of which
typically run on RON95.

Ron97 price going up tomorrow....

both 95 & 97 ........

95 is 1.80 instead 1.75 as promised.........

[Jamesc]

both 95 & 97 ........

95 is 1.80 instead 1.75 as promised.........

97 is 2.05 instead of 2.00 as promised .......

government make the ron95 for 1.80 instead of 1.75 so they don't need to compensate the loses for petrol station owners and also save on their subsidy for public.

ron97 for 2.00 is not promise from the begining, so all kinds of rumor for the ron97 price.
ron95 for normal driving condition really is good enough, but if really want hotrod then still ron97 better :wink:

After a few refills M54 E39 consumes 8.33 litre/100km city driving on average.

I also feel that the car is very slow to respond.. really need to step on it..

Totally not happy with this petrol.. silly to have pumped a full tank on first try.

Arrrggghhh..

 

[fabianyee]

I've been using RON95 for my M42, no significant diference.. Maybe my butt not so sensitive... So far ony been using Shell.. May try BHP and caltex since there are positive comments on these 2 RON95 fuels..
