Is RON 95 Petrol Bad?

well, it's been half a month since the new RON 95 petrol has been officially released, and i'm pretty sure most of you drivers out there had been using this fuel eversince then and part ways with the more expensive RON 97.

So far, the only petrol i used is the petronas 95, and i'm an 97' iswara driver, and just like what the fuel companies promised, it will affect your car in a bad way.

fuel consumption is normal to me, which is 12km/L, same as when i was using RON 97..and

performance wise? come on, it's an iswara, do you think there's a need to

talk about performance? i'm grateful thinking that my car still have it's

previous acceleration.=)

but after browsing around the internet to read some other RON 95 customer feedback, their comment are just exaggerating.

stating that their car's performance is dramatically worsen, fuel consumption

is so high as though there's a leak in the fuel tank.=.=:

yup, that's how it looks like..=.=:

about all this comments, i have a good theory for this, because before the RON95 is introduced, everyone is pumping RON 97 and everyone's happy with the RM1.80 price which is lower than the RM1.92 a year ago.

then when they introduce the RON 95, which is the same price as the RON 97 before the price hike. so in their mind, they are paying the same price for a lower octance fuel.

so before even using it, they have the preconception that it's rubbish fuel. therefore, everytime they drive, they will unconciously find reasons to the cause of lack of power, worsen fuel consumption, lower top speed.

even if i'm not an automobile expert, i know that all those are variable factors, you cant just blame it all on the fuel. fuel consumption high, might caused by aggresive driving style or city driving where all the time you'll be doing 10 km/h during traffic jam.

if i were to list them all out, this post will go on forever.XD..

to sum it all up, after two full tanks of Primax 95, my car feels perfectly fine, dont have such nonsense as engine knocking, car underpowered.

oh ya, i got a better solution for car underpowered, go get a new car and better car.

want better fuel consumption? get a lower cc car and stop driving like a maniac..=)

and get your car periodically serviced. car is something that's consist of wear-and-tear parts. so dont expect your car to perform as good as the day it rolled out from the factory 10 years later without servicing.

so to readers, do leave a comment if you found that there's some other brand of petrol that perform as well as RON97
