hey selamat hari raya to all.
safely went back and forth from bangi to penang and then to bangi back for raya.
so was doing an experiment on my bike.
on the way back to penang from bangi:
1)fuel up my bike with those ron100 for like rm30 and still didnt get a full tank.
-overall i feel the throttle respond when using ron100 was better than ron 97 and it the engine revs faster too. thou i dont think its suitable for a long haul. i have to refill back at tanjung malim and another refill at tapah (im using shell so there are no shell station after tapah till juru).
for tanjung malim and tapah i just use ron 97 since i dont see much improvement. total cost from bangi to penang with ron100+ron97=RM60.
conclusion to the no (1) experiment;
well i dont see any significant improvement personally so i'll stick to ron97 after this. maybe once in a while i'll go for ron100 just for giggles.
so on the way back from penang to bangi:
2)i wanna try and save as much as possible. so i fill up my bike with ron97 for around rm20 (7 liters more or less if im not mistaken) and maintain speed of 115km/j though out the journey. its hard thou since yesterday was very hectic and sudden rain but i manage to get to tapah with 1 bar left and fill another 7 liters of ron97 (more or less). maintain the same speed till i reach bangi and still have 1 bar left.
so conclusion of the no (2) experiment is;
the bike can do a 14 liters of fuel for like 374km. i would say not too shabby
oh im riding yamaha r25
Nice. I use RON97 most of the time and RON100 when I get the chance. Much smoother for my bike. As for RON95, can really feel the difference to RON97.
