RM1.90/l?

duno leh ..will go and try out this sunday.. see got any promotion..
petrol almost empty.. dont mind to try pump RM100 full tank if price same as RM1.90/L

Will probably try it next week when I need to refill. See if it really does give better mileage

anyone got more specific info ? most important price loh.. how much per L.

then wat is the promotion about.. dowan go liao later give me 1 bottle of mineral water only sienz

Would the name imply RON95? If so, it will be based on normal ron95 price, right?

don't have 97 version?

will try it. . .

but i scared the placebo effect affect me later on

duno leh ... ya Ron95 Xtra ... duno xtra wat la ...
i guess normal Ron95 will be phased out if same price rite ?

or this is marketing gimmick lol

The most is they change addatives...... Or someone can show some proofs that Petronas change their refinery setup recently.....

this fuel not on RON97? so Primax RON95 will be fully phased-out and replace with X right? so it's just marketing gimmick.

I might try it anw.

^Can try but don't put too high hope on this....

"There will basically be a “Fuel Up Challenge” happening between 5.30 PM to 8.30 PM on the 10th of April, which is this Sunday. What you have to do is pick a certain amount of fuel that you will try to attempt to fill up. This may be a choice of 3 different amounts like RM20, RM50 or RM70 – we don’t have the exact details yet.

You will have to pump in the new Petronas fuel into your car manually to the exact amount that you’ve chosen. If you go over by even 1 sen, you lose the challenge. You’ll win something if you hit your target. Prizes will be announced closer to the challenge date, so keep an eye out for the announcement."

got that from paultan.org. seems like a contest rather than free stuff.

according to our sources, the price is going to be the same as the current pump prices. All what the fuel promises is going to be the BEST the market will have seen so far...

Better response/performance than normal Primax 95,maybe.I don't believe in their "more savings".

Last time i used Petronas...no powah at all...BHP still the best for me...2x addictive > extra addictives. LOL.

as someone working inside the company....all i can say is it will use different additives than primax95....refinery still same...no change...

shell fuelsave95 and primax95 used the same source of of "base" oil....came from the same refinery & pipeline....the difference is just the additives....

as for shell fuel with vpower additives....that one came strictly from their refinery....that vpower additives formula is very "precious" and they don't want people to steal their "trade secret"....

aaahhh just gimmick again....still same price...petronas should anounce ron92Xtra with cheaper 30/40 sen cheaper...ahhh...(bcoz my car can pump ron92 )

same 1 la
marketing tactic
if ron 95 can achive ron 97 performance then why sell ron 97 ????
logic 101

sorry bro sinister_sid, your logic is flawed....ron95 & ron97 is different because of the octane rating....some engines out there were tuned & optimised to use higher octane fuel....

if your engine is already optimised to run on ron95....there's no point you spending extra money on ron97 for a small (maybe negligible) performance gain....

i can assure you is not a gimmick since it used a new (and different) additives compare to primax95....if it sell at rm1.90/l, why don't you give a shot....nothing to lose since the price is regulated....if you don't like it just revert back to your preferred brand....

That's because a lot of people know nuts about petrol and the specs with it...... Is a petrol's performance are based on RON only? If the answer is yes, then please continue to support blindly..... This is not refering to you.....

all in your mind perhaps? If you do "feel" something perhaps just a perception issue rather than facts

no harm paying the same price to "feel" even better
anyway, i still prefer vpower....
hope that shell will introduce vpower95 to defend their market share...
so it's a winning situation for us consumers (provided price still rm1.90/l)

For now its rm1.90, not sure how long we can 'enjoy' this price..

can explain more
i noob leh in petrol

you use Petronas X for Wangan Midnight issit?

a source from petronas says...please SUE petronas...if u all think it is just a marketing gimmick without any improvement at all...petronas dare anybody to put money on their mouth...or else just keep quiet...

Looking forward to try 'em 2moro

i think the petrol stations already loaded with this new grade, guess u can even try it now, no need wait if you want to

Mark April 16th on your calendar

I just only pump Petronas 's p petrol into my car. However, there is still no news about the Petronas Station is filled with the latest ron95 petrol yet.

i asked a pet station just now, he dumb2 dont know a bangladeshi btw

u ask the petronas source do a dyno run with both ron old 95 and new 95 with each do a 5 times run to average out
got improvement or not u think every1 can notice ah
who got build in dyno butt ???
most ppl if they support petronas will sure say oh got alot inprovement ah
my kancil now like veyron

all marketing gimmick..everytime got this so called new fuel how do we actually know there's really new stuff there? its not like buying a car that you can see the changes physically...unless you actually kept the previous petrol and compare it with the new one, there's no telling whether what we get would be the new stuff..or just the same old s**t

dont belajar unker fred confuse me leh

^Above stated clearly.... Go to wiki, type : platforming, hydrocracking, catalyst cracking, hydro treating and you will know better on fuel.....

Loaded? Are you sure? To put in "new" petrol, some flushing needs to be done and depending greatly on that particular station... If the sales volume are high, it will be faster, else it will be slower.... As any addatives are dopped on terminals, not at the station....

what he meant was u use petronas x for touge or not?

btw i heard heard from inside people that few weeks prior to launch petronas did invite some writers on local automotive media to bring their guzzlers and big cars to test the new formula
i had yet to hear any reviews but we'll see

ahaks! u do then show them the result
i will back u up...then i ask them to turun harga petrol by 5 sen cos new marketing gimik cost more money to rakyat...rite?

do i look i supprt petronas? i try not to think negative by providing a positive solution...but we must work together...

taman melati petronas got this so called new ron95 xtra already. tested it and still feel the same.

some marketing gimmicks, and our mind start fooling around endlessly

But no doubt, current Ron95 petronas gives better power than other brand. Was hovering with empty tank and pump BHP yesterday and the car is struggling to go.

Imo, the best ron95 is caltex.

i am waiting for actual result and feedback 1st.. lolz..

For me 95 best is Caltex too

later i kasi run fuel tank till empty
then go try
but till now shells 95 still the best for me
smooth and easy cold start drive

esso ftw

the best ron 95 is CALTEX WITH TECHRON!!!!

problem is hard to find caltex..even if they can give u good FC, by the time u drive to the nearest caltex station u already used up what's "good" in the FC. Unless your place is near caltex station or need to pass by on the way to work/pasar then no issues la.

+1....they wun entirely change their petrol quality or upgrade it....unlike AMD Phenom to Bulldozer class...
Addatives was the only option....BHP still for me...

BHP, Caltex, ESSO are good..... As they are imported.....

have anyone try this fuel yet?

just fill up full tank ron 95 petronas-xtra

Petronas RON 95 40Liter = 560km

Will see how is the FC with this new formula

Filled RM30.95 and got a keychain. Anyone got a different stuffs here?

my savvy die on the new primax

bro.... r u joking or for real?

unless your savvy was running on diesel previously ; there is no chance ur engine can die when change fuel to new ron95

I pumped this fuel already, performance? Well, at least I don't feel sluggish when pushing it to the red line. My friend was telling me it's a bit more responsive. I told him it could be placebo effect. I would say, I have no reason not to, not use this fuel.

in term of mileage?

i going to pump later.

sooo any feedback and power from using this fuel?

very powerful wor..my 120hp car now runs like 150hp

filled up pri*ax xtra ron95 RM30.95 and got green key chain

i never use p*tronas fuel before for my car because many says its very flammable.. but today just hope nothing happen to my car

the free gift.



Attached thumbnail(s)

Minimum RM30 to get the key chain?
Or what's the minimum actually?

minimum is 30.95 if not mistaken, u must fill up till this exact amount to get the free gift.

30.95???....whats the .95 for??
and exact??? or more???

its just a challenge by petronas to intro their new fuel, but if not mistaken over liao...5:30 till 8:30 pm only for today. they have another two more amounts like 50.95 and 70.95. One get pen the other get air freshener or something like that..yes must be exact 30.95 if not u will not get anything.

I envy that keychain.
I managed to fill in RM30.95, then 50.95 but I screwed up the last one RM70.95 by just 1 cent so I failed to get the keychain.
Managed to get the air freshener and pen though. LOL

So hows the performance?

same as usual. I notice my fuel drop meter faster. hmm
i think it is because the world crude oil price surge too high, Petronas add in more additive to maintain its profit. hmmm

still got issue
caltex dun1 provide bonus card
like smile card,bhp ecard,mesra card

Shell 95 user here.Just fill in RM20 of this new 95 extra.
As usual before this i've tried petronas Primax 95,i got better response but low millage.This new 95 extra response the same but not sure about millage.Will fill in full tank after the current RM20 of petrol near to empty.

compare to BHP, wat's the difference?

Last Friday, filled up Caltex RON95 and travel from Penang to KL.

I reset my car fuel computer at the beginning of journey, at the end of the journey the average fuel consumption is 7.4L per 100km

Today, I filled up the new Petronas Primax95 Xtra (from almost empty tank) and traval back to Penang.

Did the same thing, reset the car fuel computer again at the beginning of journey, at the end of the journey the average fuel consumption shows 7.1L per 100km

Both trips have similar driving style, cruising on fast lane at 120km/h average

BTW I got an "air freshener" by hitting RM70.95 on the dot

Any comments on the response/performance?

for the first few weeks i think the petrol will be top quality and maybe even with more additives to get people to switch then later back to normal production quality

Hmm...

This is much harder to quantify since there is no hard numbers to confirm it...

Even if there is improvements I guess it will be single-digit percentage improvement which is hardly noticable by most people

But probably, erm... just maybe, I *felt* there is slightly more power during acceleration

What car you driving?

How come your car got car fuel computer? Sorry, i am new to car >.<

pumped today..cant tell any differences!

caltex ftw

hi guys. I'm a hardcore shell v-power user. somehow when the price rocketing, i started changing to ron 95(botu one month ago). first shell, sorry to say but it is not good enough. then came caltex 95. what i can say in terms of mileage is quite okay but power, a definite no. pijak pedal minyak x rs ape pn. then i tried Petronas ron 95( for the first time since bought my car, 4-5 months before). all i can say the new petronas ron 95 is damn awesome to me la. can feel similar effect to shell v-power 97 although not as good of course. in terms of milage, i manage to clock on highway 75 to 80 km per bar instead of 65-70 for caltex 95. mind you all i 'm driving saga blm 1.6 and driving at 90-100km on average speed la.

ps: to those who like to bash petronas, try first bros/sis. try 2-3 times then only judge. fyi your ecu oso adapting to the new oil when you change the type of ron you use(according to one mechanic la). give it a go.

PEACE OUT.

saga blm 1.6?
the model they export to foreign country?

Saga BLM 1.6 were sold in limited quantities
Initially it was for the taxis

the petrol attendent said every sunday will have this challenge.
Not sure he is telling the truth.
Will try again..

Got feel better in acceleration
Maybe got mix Bhp & petronas

Its depends on car actually..Previously I pump Shell V-Power97 for quite long time..then I change to RON95..Recently tried RON95..and I never go back to Shell..lol..
Try BHP, Esso, Shell, Petronas and Caltex..in the end still stick to Caltex

if every sunday then not bad, but that means may have long queue on every sunday when u want to pump petrol...

for saga blm...very easy to know
just hear the engine....when i change to shell RON95...it was damn noisy the engine
when i change to esso RON95...it was slighly quieter...more power indeed
later when empty tank..will go try this...see how it affects the engine...noisier or quieter..lol
and i can clearly hear that my car is very quiet when using RON97...so will try it out and see how it performs

I am using Esso because a lot of people claimed that Esso's petrol was not bad ^^ WHile the smile point indeed vert attractive.

Yeah for Esso, it is definitely for the Smile Points
Didn't really bother about the fuel, its Synergy F1 for my car is the same as others

1000 = RM15..

It is better than mesra due to the points that will never expired and the point were calculated based on Ringgit instead of Litre.
* sorry, i am not trying to advertise Esso * >.<

Its 1.5% rebate..haha..

Didn't know is true or not, Petronas never sponsor petrol in F1 but engine oil yes, since BMW team.. Petronas just sign deal to supply & develop/research petrol, hydraulic, break oil with MercedesGP yesterday.... So how sure we are Premax95 extra develop from F1.....

will try primax95extra on our back home today

ayam been using primax 95 for so long and when i filled up my car with this new fuel, i felt no difference..

but time will tell if there is improvement for this new fuel

haih whatever it is, still spend so much on petrol idling away in traffic jams, only can take solace the engine is smoother etc but actually does nothing for day to day life

It will expire if the card is not used on a qualifying purchase within a year.



http://www.esso-mobil-smiles.com.my/en-my/...smiles_faq.aspx

+ Public Bank 8% rebate.

No point arguing which is the best petrol. Its differ from every car. My house has 2 car, 1 feel better with Petronas, and my wira goes well with Caltex, but both suck at Shell. Lack power, meaning harder on the pedal, translate to more FC.

Basically Petronas give more power, Caltex more smooth and quieter.

Hmm, looks like they are using a lime green Fiesta in the promotion ads for the fuel.

When did the unspoken partnership between Petronas and Proton stop?

Also, when did the Fiesta become the fuel economy poster child for Malaysia? If they were going for a foreign make, I would have thought they would go for something more prestigious like a Polo or a Golf.
