Title: Any Difference? - 95 & 98 RON
Post by: clarence on July 04, 2008, 11:43:15 AM: Technically, Latio can safely accept 95 RON, but I felt my Latio was smoother running on 98 RON.

Wonder if this is psychological or does 98 RON really make our Latio's engine smoother?

Post by: Silver on July 04, 2008, 02:28:41 PM: actually, for the HR15DE engine, petrol with minimum 91 RON is specified (see the manual)

One of the big differences is

the Price.

Post by: clarence on July 04, 2008, 04:08:28 PM: HR15DE engine refers to 4A/T or CVT?
Title: Re: Any Difference? - 95 & 98 RON
Post by: Silver on July 04, 2008, 04:17:15 PM: both Standard (4A/T) and Premium (Extronic CVT) models use the same engine, HR15DE
just that the transmission is different

Definitely there a difference, but it difficult to measure. :smile:

Actually don't have to measure just a little maths. 98-85=3, even my kid knows that.

Post by: detach8 on July 05, 2008, 01:50:28 AM: hey hey now it doesn't have to turn into a flame war does it? benefits none of us

price aside...

i do feel the difference between petrol grades. the 98 fuel makes the car quieter.

Post by: xuan511 on July 05, 2008, 09:48:09 PM: I duno got diff anot, coz my car for almost 3 yrs have been pumping 98. Engine has been perfect since i bought it :yehyeh:
Title: Re: Any Difference? - 95 & 98 RON
Post by: ckyc on July 05, 2008, 11:28:20 PM: 98 gives more power definitely, fc wise i not too sure cos i only pump 98 abt 3 times only.

in the end i go with 95 as my route is 80% city driving. During jams - higher power = faster acceleration = harder braking, not very comfortable, prefer to go slower.. :nonod:

Post by: darrylker on July 06, 2008, 02:03:46 AM: Been using V-Power & 98 for my prev sunny ride...definitely smoother ride for V-Power compared to 95. But current Latio been using 95 due to high price, but ride still smooth & comfy, guess its our quiet engine & new car still...Sometimes when I travel to JB will pump V-Power once awhile to improve ride.... :bleh:
