Don't need it. Mine's a WRX Type UK. Don't need RON100 like the JDM boys. RON95 and above will do.

bro sleepwalker, if those JDM cars need them 100 to go full potential, where do they get them?

not cost cutting lah
our goverment only subsidies the ron92 and ron97.
if they want to introduce the ron98 and above, u got to pay full price.
u wanna pay full price meh?

What's the full price??

example of ron98 prices in singapore is around rm4 a litre.
so our price for ron98 should be roughly that.
imagine what is ron100 price will be.

Wow RM4 a liter!!
SO a full tank for a myvi would be......RM160!!

For a Perdana RM200!
For a Ferrari RM400!!!!

RON 100 is nothing compare to the E85...... RON 125........

btw only high compression or extremely thick air fuel ratio would benefit from this high ron number fuel.............

so i guess most 4 stroke high rev bikers would be cheers........finally they are getting what they want........

mind telling what is RON?

and how does higher rating RON(RON 100) benefits the car?

i pumped so-called vpower racing just now. but why the colour still blue? it should be red right?

no , it is still blue . just the addictive is different . i already confirm this with the shop owner , he told me that reaches 2 days ago .

You can get octane boosters in any accessory shops or even make them yourself. Plenty of recipes online. However it's just too troublesome to use it everytime you pump a full tank and most just don't bother.

If you have read the last few replies you would have gotten your answer. It does not benefit the car unless it requires it.

Research Octane Number.
I forgot a bit. If it has 97 RON that means it has the same firing capability as to a fuel with 97% of something........??


Anyways, a higher RON will only benefit some car. If you car has a high compression ratio you will benefit from it. You get less engine knocking(where fuel burns before the spark plug ignites it). The higher the number, the more energy needed to explode it, therefore, you need to compress more to make it explode spontaneously.

Newer engines comes wih knock sensors. So when you use lower octane fuel, it will sense the knock and therefore retard spark timing. This will make you lose some power. Using octane suitable for the engine or higher will "relieve" the sensors of its duty and let the engine run freely.

If still the same RON97, no need to try for me....
Because I have tested with Vpower blue b4

Bro Sleepwalker,

Octane boosters can range from RM20 plus to RM70 plus, from STP, Outlaw, Penzoil, etc. Any differences between these brands because the price gap is pretty wide and there's no mention of RON ratings either on the packaging. How effective are those octane boosters anyway? I've tried STP but sadly, no effect at all but it was RM20 plus only.

sunauto , i personally never try those booster , becasue i dont believe in them . dont know why , just feel .
really no feel a ?

There's no effect in your car because your engine is tune to run with RON95. Since Malaysian fuel is already RON 97, there will be no effect on your engine.

A proper octane booster will usually include a rough guide to how much octane it will boost. Usually not much, around 1-2 octane. Outlaw looks the best because it has the 4 metal canisters.

Again, octane boosters are a waste of time as it does not increase power. The higher octane allows you to run a more highly tuned settings without damaging your engine, like higher compression or more advanced ignition timing.

My previous Satria GSR and my friends EVO's all runs better with higher octane because the engine and ecu was tuned for Japanese RON 100. However, it's too much of a hassle to keep adding it to the petrol tank.
