Luckily, the one around me still selling v-power, maybe they will start to phase out soon because of local user will go for anything that is cheaper .

I opened my BMW fuel flap and read the details behind last night when filling up, it can take RON 91-98, and it's a 3 year old car.

One Shell station near me stopped selling v-power, I nearly filled up with 97 cos the handles were still red, but I noticed the yellow tag. Had to go to the next Shell down the line to find v-power.

Stock or what? Mini?
Even before the change in the RON thingo. I've used the lower grade fuel when I run out of petrol in ulu areas.

orang kaya drive cooper S, FD2, lancer EVO please use 97, please contribute to help subsidize 95 for the rest of us who are not as rich.

Please don't complain and complain fuel expensive then diam diam pump the most expensive out there, your actions are affecting us greatly, if the rich can do their part and use 97 all will be good.

Then you have read wrong. My car works fine with RON 95 since it is UKDM. ECU goes into a more aggressive mode when I put in higher RON and applicable for higher performance cars. Normal road car's ECU will not react this way to the petrol.

Mk5. GTI. His isn't stock. But then again yours isn't too. Maybe later batches can use lower grades.

hehe... sorry for my fault... bcos as i recall that ur ECU went into safe mode when u pumped RON97 at somewhere of Kuantan kampung area as u no believe that V-power was "old stock" at kampung area...

Better fill with 97 for a high boost turbocharge car

As far as I know, only one ECU chipping allows for auto adjust and that's mine!

what do u mean by this? u mean other than ur car, all other car wont auto adjust to the ron level?

That's good to hear. Those with other brands would have to wait for an update.

RON97 as the highest standard for an oil producing country is a bloody shame.

Do we actually need higher RON fuels? Especially with the cars we have?

Plus there's no point subsidizing it.

my ecu chip brand... not the car.

just need to retune

Why not?

And nobody is asking for a subsidy for the higher RON fuel.

The thing that disgusted people is that making us all into believing the RON97 fuel as exclusively 'premium' when the fact it is not.

Please stop giving excuses, lower RON fuel is lower RON fuel. Please, all of those trying to protect & bailing the government, stop finding ways to make it sounds like it is nothing. This is especially unacceptable when we are an oil producing country with over 25 million population.

Premium in Australia is 98. 1 point higher. Anyone who wants higher buys race gas.

What do you need the RON for? Your turbocharged k-car? No point in having RON100 if your engine cannot take advantage of it.

Oil producing is a misnomer, Malaysia does make RON100 fuels, just that it's sent to Japan. lol.

it's your emotions speaking there. who really needs high RON fuel? it's still not clear to you that if a car manual says 91 is minimum 91 is all you need, putting 1000 also won't do nothing, 'use cow knife to slaughter chicken' as the cantonese saying.

And besides my friend 97 is still there please pump that and help to fund the subsidy for people like me who cannot afford 97. btw. 97 is premium fuel in many many other countries where 95 has been mainstream ages ago, our idea of 95 is not new, merely following other countries, do get the opportunity to travel overseas and expand your knowledge a bit.

308 engine same as Mini Cooper engine, so i can run Ron 95...ur fren should be able too

Got leaflet from Caltex recommending all Peugeot 206, 207/308 vti/THP, 407 & Bestari to use only RON97!!! And since Mini shares the same engine, what do u think?
