Any Difference? - 95 & 98 RON
« 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?

HR15DE engine refers to 4A/T or CVT?

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.

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.

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:

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:
