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

But also some says min 97 some even go ron 100 otherwise sluggish and later engine cepat rosak (lol)
Mazda skyactiv owners experiment before?
City driving ron95 is good enough.. if you have deep pocket, may go for Ron97 or ron100 for minimum performance gain. Other countries ppl only pump ron85
I have 2 friends who use only she'll vpower.. both have fuel pump issue. Claim warranty twice but still need to go for recall for the 3rd replacement.. haven't talk to them since MCO started if they still get fuel pump failure..

my personal comment.. there will be always two sides of coin..
try to pump a full tank of Ron97 and try it urself.. notice on the performance and noise of the engine. If you dont feel anything then dont bother pay extra..

Is it still happening after the Mazda recall program? I never use V-power before, the most I use is Shell Ron97. But I heard many saying Shell petrol is clogging the fuel pump in the FB group.
when I received my car, it was pumped full with bhp r95... there is noticeable engine knocking sound during driving i refueled with petronas r97 for 2nd tank and there's no more knocking sound, been pumping r97 ever since
just fuel up with RON95 will do, people complaining that they "feel" the engine is "knocking" were probably all impressions within their mind. the manifold set up in Skyactiv engines were specifically designed to eliminate these issues.
it may be correct that RON97 is better for engine health because they contain more "cleaners" so they are supposed to clean the valves, pistons, chambers etc better than RON95 but since all Skyactiv engines are direct injection, they don't really do much for the valves.
besides, you get a can of free deposit cleaner from the SC every time you send your car for the regular maintenance so that's that.

high compression doesn't mean must be high RON fuel, the manufacturer can design the way air fuel mixes swirl in the cylinder and cylinder head shape to reduce the high temp points so still can use lower RON fuels.
last time got reason to pump Ron 97 due to Euro 4 fuel
Now.... no reason jor. Ron95 alsor Euro 4
if Ron97 they change to Euro6, I will pump back ron 97.
Higher euro =/= good for engines Only great for environment as less sulfur PPM Sulfur is a great lubricant too and newer fuels 'expires' quickly compared to decades before
mixture of RON95 and RON97, go try it, i have been doing this for my scooter and kancil, fuel consumption wise, no difference the only difference i can feel and see is the power/torque at high speed...
for example, if fully RON95, my kancil hard to reach 100km/h, even if it does, the engine roaring sound very loud and steering shake like hell but when i put fully RON97, easily reach 110km/h and engine roaring sound less and steering shake normally like driving 80km/h....then maintaining in 100km/h is piece of cake...
then i tried to mix half tank of each RON (kancil is 20 liter), so 10 liter each, give some effect like its on fully RON97
to add and emphasize again - higher RON number doesnt mean saves fuel
