Hi, I'm not sure whether has this topic been posted here before. I have been hearing stories about how bad RON 95 is. People been telling me that this petrol will easily caused car catch fire. This is why now days we have been seeing and hearing allot of car caught fire. I realized that allot of car caught fire victims ever since RON95 been introduced.

I even hear stories like our Ron 95 is not a real 95. It was from the ron92 that added addictive to produce like Ron 95 which can harm the car engines and parts.

I was using RON95 for my Honda city for about 6 months and my car slowly develops problems. Problems like throttle body and throttle sensor making my car chocking.  Car behaving weird and when sent to HONDA, the machenIC told me not to use ron95 as it will wear out car parts and damage easily. I experienced difficulties of gear shift. Feels like it dO not want to shift to the next gear, lagging or something. The engine raw. It's louder than before and felt lack of power. So when mechanic advice to use rOn97. Everything works find now. Gear shifting is smooth and no more weird behavior like car chockIng engine dying. Engine is quieter like before.

I would like to hear what are your opinions

Did you check your fuel filter? Engine choking are usually the signs of a clogged fuel filter and by putting something like a fuel injector cleaner, you are actually not just cleaning the injectors, you are also cleaning some of the gunk collected on the fuel filter. I have seen this happen many times and the symptoms come back after a while unless the fuel filter is changed. Always use a fuel injector cleaner only after you have changed the fuel filter, otherwise the injector cleaner has to go though a dirty filter and end up cleaning the filter instead of the injectors.

We are not really talking about different types of fuel nor are we attempting to make a list of it. There is another topic for that under the fuel consumption topic. Now that RON91 is no longer available (if I wasn't mistaken, it was 92 back then, not 91), we'd stick to the this rather old topic of RON 95/97.
