When we go to petrol station , there is 2 kind of petrol we can pump. The first type which is quite commonly use is charged at RM1.920 per little , another type which is cheaper. The more cheaper petrol is leaded?

My question is .. what kind of car can use those cheaper fuel ?

I am using an old Toyota Corolla 1.5 DX user posted image
using 3A-U engine and it is super petrol drinker. It sucked Rm0.21 per KM vmad.gif I am just curious is my car suitable to use the cheaper petrol ?

What is the disadvantage of using those cheaper petrol notworthy.gif

I hoping I could get a clear answer , what happen if I pump the RON 92 petrol

What are the difference between 92 and 97? I just did some google search and came across this site http://www.monsterblog.com.my/2006/07/25/r...his-ron-person/

now the problem is .. is my engine is made for RON 92 ??? I don't have manual for this car because this car is older than me doh.gif futhermore my family bought this car 2nd hand

You have to look into your car's manual to find that out ( provided you still have it ) other wise you have to ask around, but usually, japanese engines require a minumum of RON 95.

If you use the 92 stuff, you would probably hear a lot more noise coming from your engine when you go up slopes ( knocking ) and might suffer engine damage ( worst case scenario ).

Your engine should be quite economical.

Guess I will stick back to Ron97 since it don't save much. Anyway my car is not economical , maybe u consider 0.21/km is cheap laugh.gif

I think it's time for some major overhaul?

Have you checked whether your spark plugs and sparkplug cables in good condition?

sure GL is having better fuel consumption because of the engine. I am running on 1.5 while GL only 1.3

I refering the same corolla series I am driving. I seldom see one car similar with mine on the road. I don't know why flex.gif
