Ron95 which brands works best for your car?

[desmond0318]

I know this question is pretty common, but the curiosity for me is still there, maybe different engines build works well with different brands.

 

[stupidcar]

Stock Persona, 1 year plus running on Primax 95 due to credit card rebates.
Never tried other petrol.

 

[6UE5t]

Esso/Petron cuz got loyalty card to exchange 3000pts for rm45 fuel! As for performance etc2., I've tried everything and honestly cannot tell much difference.

 

[desmond0318]

most noticeable from the fuel different would be engine pinging or knocking rate and volume, this common problem happens after we changed from ron97 downgraded to ron95 :(

Well, I don't experience any knocking with 95, so far my car runs fine with any 95 but of course except Esso/Petron, I only tried the other brands once or twice. :) But one of our Mark X Club member reported issues (but not knocking) when using Petronas for some time, which was cured after he switched to other brands.

Caltex Ron95 for my daily ride. Nearest petrol station at my place. So far so good. Smooth engine revving.
Petronas and Shell's Ron95 giving knocking sound during cold start (morning).

1st PETRON
2nd caltex
3rd BHP
4th Petronas
5th shell

Most of the time Shell due to credit card rebate 2.5 - 5.0%.

 

[amrancharger]

esso/mobil/petron for me.coz got loyalty card to exchange 3000 points for rm45 fuel.usually i will ask for ron97 when redeeming this points.

Avanza 1.3 - Shell > Petron > Petronas > Caltex
Proton Tiara 1.1 - Petronas > Shell > Petron > Caltex
Proton Iswara 1.3 - Petronas > Shell > Petron > Caltex
Corolla EE90, 1.3 - Shell > Petronas > Petron > Caltex
Daihatsu Charade G11 1.0 - Shell > Petronas > Esso > Caltex

Perhaps you guys can list down the car model as well as reference

Model: Myvi 1.5
Best fuel: BHP
Loyal Usage: Petronas Primax 95. Overally it is good and I have mesra card. Plus, their stations are everywhere.
Worst fuel: Shell. Kinda lost some smooth acceleration. And it did very very very minimal fuel saving, almost negligible
Never tried: Petron. Not so keen to try.
Other good fuel for my car: Esso, Caltex

Kinda miss Projet 97 sigh...

 

[PocketRocket]

Used to go for esso/mobil, after bought over by petron, switched to caltex

before esso/mobil was shell coz its the nearest station and Bonuslink pts goes to my parents, i'm a huge contributor..haha!

 

[papagoines]

Make: Kancil
Engine: 660cc 16v turbo (from JDM Daihatsu Mira L502)
Mods: only catback exhaust (even ori cat converter intact) and open pod intake

I'm very much like bro 6UE5t, voting Petron/Esso because of loyalty points.... tried all RON95 felt the same...

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

I used to be a Shell Loyal customer, but somehow find car is smoother with Petron. Not sure is psychology wise or what but somewhat
better. But Shell I realised it gives better mileage.

I pump petron now for smiles points. No longer want bonuslink as the points expired too fast and the thing to exchange, is just high points or expensive.

 

[boxerawd]

My vote will be on Shell, but also depend on which station.
Some shell stations seems to have better fuel quality...
Last week pump 1 full tank RON97 from PETRONAS Desaru, engine run so quiet like juz overhaul...happily cruised all the way back to KL.

 

[stupidcar]

So the marketing for petrol stations are because of loyalty cards eh. I'm surprised nobody said royalty. :hahaha:

And this means petronas are for low cc cars hahaaha.

[mofisa]

[K_Takuya]

Wira se 1.5 and elantra 1.6.. both on shell and go further than Caltex.. I usually go outstation...Petronas is a big No No for me, so sluggish...even if i have to.. only RM10 then go find Shell haha..

The exchange points recently went up, right? or was it for the lower amount exchange?
