RON 100 for Camry Hybrid / RON 97 or RON 100 / Which fuel for Camry hybrid?



Hi guys

Petron Malaysia has introduced Petron Blaze 100 which goes for RM 2.60 (US 70 cent) per liter . It's available in lots of petrol stations in Klang valley, Malaysia. It's a premium of a Ringgit ( a quarter) over RON 95, the price which decided by the Malaysian government.
The issue is should we use the fuel , RON 100, for our Camry Hybrid? Does it give more power or make the engine more refined? The answer is NO. Fueling your car with RON 100 will not save you fuel nor will it give you more power. What the higher number tells you is that the fuel will be able to resist engine knocking better . New cars like Camry hybrid are equipped with knocking sensors that will to retard the engine when it needs to. So there' is no necessity to use fuel with higher RON.
What you need to is to find out is the minimum number of RON the engine requires to have a optimum system. I think it RON 89 for Camry Hybrid . In my case, I've been using Petronas RON 95 since day one and I'm very happy with its performance. The money that you haved saved using RON 95 could be spent on other more beneficial things like having a nice dinner with your loved ones in a nice diner in Putrajaya or KL
