is there really a practical difference between RON95 and RON97?
both seem practically the same to me.
a lot of people keep saying "RON97 better for engine health" but why? in what way is it better? that 2% higher octane level make any actual difference?
higher RON will have higher resistance to burn
if you are having higher compression ratio engine + high resistance fuel = less power waste = higher performance
as the petrol take its time to get mix with air and fully compressed before burn
lower RON will have pre-ignition aka knock ..which meant the fuel burn before it fully compressed.
if your engine is low compression ratio (especially turbo-ed) .. then 95 and 97 gain will not be a lot
