Heard V-Power Racing in Malaysia is also RON98 but added with Friction Modifier Technology, where some kind of additive added to RON98 and make it become "V-Power".

Shell V-Power’s Friction Modifier Technology (FMT) is formulated to reduce friction between the cylinder and piston rings, a critical area of the engine where lubrication is difficult to achieve. FMT is designed to help the engine turn more freely, and so help transfer energy from the fuel to the wheels more efficiently.

Try pump V-Power and boost your RPM to 5000 - 6000RPM, you will feel the different. :D

Yup, V-power racing is RON98 and V-power is RON97. the only different with standard RON97 and RON98 is there are FMT added to them.
Try to fill your ride with 1 full tank (from empty to full) of RON98 than run till it empty.. Then fill with another full tank of V-Power Racing. You definately can tell us the different.

technically speaking, Latio can accept minimum 92 RON petrol.

Pumping a higher RON petrol will NOT result in more power.

Is your experience psychological?

I think the spec tell you the minimum RON needed to make Latio Move. What is the effect of other higher RON is really personal feel.


Sorry, your post remind me of people who only fly on 1st class or business class.

"technically speaking, A human butt can accept minimum Economy seat.

Paying a higher class seat will NOT result in more power.

Is the experience psychological? "

 :bleh: My summary is : butt feel.

but 98 grade is still better

like I said, Better in term of what?

FC?
Cost / KM?
Engine Noise?
High RPM?
Pick-up?
or Butt Feel?

So what are you looking for?
Feel? then forget about FC lah, price lah, just pump 98. Else like me just pump 92 full tank.
Still don't know what you want then pump 95 loh.
