Sorry if my post is too late, as I was just looking around the forum, I stumbled across this thread and I would like to share that my car after 2 years of using Petronas RON95, is choking actually. Went to the service center, they clean the throttle body but there is still intermittent choking.

I don't really believe in additives, but somehow just a few weeks ago I bought a bottle of STP Petrol Injector cleaner and somehow it was marvellous after a few days of running, immediately the engine became smoother and quiet.

But RON97 being gold prices, now using BHP95 and it seems okay, I think most of our RON95 petrol builts up carbon and such.

Agree injector cleaners help a lot, I experienced a big difference when starting my Mitsubishi. engine so smooth after service. no more rough idling.

Food for thought my 2004 Subaru runs smoother on Mobil RON91. People should include a list of what fuel is best for their cars.

Having owned a few cars, I have avoided using Shell. I find Caltex and BHP generally are ok.

Here's my take, use RON95 if you know it is fresh from the oven, but I don't know if this is available info. Most probably not.

I drive a conti TC car and recommended fuel is RON 95 but being a cheap ******* like I always am, i buy fuel on cheap days, cheap for a reason, assuming service station still has the old batch. Car engine management system will always detune with old RON95 batch but good I have ECU overide device so error codes not a problem.

Fact is where I am RON98 is the better fuel....no brainer. For now, I have a refuelling strategy, half tank for RON95 and RON98 for full tank.

Hope this helps.

You have that option in Australia.. cheap days.. cheap outskirt kiosk.. where they can price the fuel according to location and availability of stocks.. and of course oil price.

There's no such option here and to pump RON 97 just means that somebody else is enjoying our subsidy.

rural areas are actually dearer due to logistic issues...but yes very hard to troubleshoot problems like this. Best to run higher octane fuel for performance cars as much as you can.

RON95 on normal cars is not a problem except for Shell that you may experience a small drop in performance.

Outskirts.. not outback.. wasn't referring to such rural areas. Outskirts of town instead of town center. Not outback country.  tongue.gif

Aiya Jason, as long as logistics are involved, cost will go up wan. No matter rural or outskirts. Trust me on this.
