I hope it is not too late to announce some good news that Malaysia new petrol RON95 will be fully introduced this 1st of September, and it will cost about RM1.75 per liter, which is 5 cent cheaper than RON97 (RM1.80 per liter recently) but also 5 cent more expensive than RON92 (RM1.70 per liter recently).
But there is another bad news; RON97 petrol price will be increased to RM2.00 per liter. Anyway, thanks to my fellow blogger Lai Ke Po for providing me such kind of useful information.
RON means research octane number and it refers to the ability of gasoline to auto burn inside the engine. Simply say, RON97 is harder to burn compared to RON95.
Higher octane number oil is basically designed for higher performance cars such as sport cars and racing cars. This is to avoid premature burning of oil inside the engine.
A lot of people said that RON92 petrol is the older oil and it is only suitable for older cars only. And, there are also some said that RON92 petrol would make the engine dirty. As comparison, RON92 petrol is less powerful than RON95 and RON97. What do you think?
RON95 could be used for all types of cars including imported luxury cars. This is good opportunity for citizen to switch to cheaper RON95 if previously they used RON97. This is because RON95 offers about the same quality and performance as RON97.
Once RON95 is out, I am sure there will be pretty much consumers trying the new RON95 petrol to see which one feels the best with their car’s engine. However, you have to remember one thing though. Check it out your vehicle fuel requirement. This is because it may cause some side effect, which is known as knocking (poor performance of your vehicle)
How To Check Your Vehicle Minimum Requirement For RON?
1. From your vehicle guidebook.
2. Minimum octane number rating at the back of your fuel lid cover
Based on what I have known, all models from Honda Malaysia are RON95 compatible. But, it is recommended to use RON97 for Honda Civic Type R because of its high performance engine and it was tested in Japan with RON100 for optimum engine performance.
What Types of Fuel Should I Use?
As long as the fuel used is not below the minimum RON requirement (RON91), then it will be appropriate for all cars.

RON 97 can run higher compression,more aggressive ignition, higher boost due to its slow burning nature, less detonation.if want slower burning, minyak masak!!!BMW smell like fried chicken,sure can run 20:1 comp ratio like diesel, make sure starter motor n batteries kaw kaw!!LOL

Thanks for the info irman...
Ron Macron or kentucky macaRONi Cheese, either Ron92, 95 or 97... it always depend on your car capability. Kalau kereta di keluarkan zaman P.Ramlee.. go figure.. sure use Ron92 and for E30 83-90 check what kinda type of Ron they use during this era of production. Same goes to Radiator coolant... does coolant exist when E30 era? is it a must?
The calculation to achieve better performance for your car is to know your fuel mechanism and also engine capabilities. Not only upgraded blocks, pistons but fuel management too, like Fuel pump, Injectors, spark plugs, air flow meter bla bla... If your engine lama nak pakai minyak baru. You also need to let your engine know that this is New Fuel by configure your ECU... mmmm
i'm Ron95 ahahahaha... unles masuk S52 then ron97 woohooooo

Our engines definitely fine with RON95, I think if I remember, manual asks for something like RON91, only the M42 318is needed RON95.
So far I'm still running on my first tank of Primax95, not much diff felt so far, in performance or consumption.
Next tank I might try BHP instead, their advertisement on additives quite racun.
