Bertukar Ke RON95 Untuk Lebih Penjimatan?

Semalam, Datuk Shahrir Samad telah berkata bahawa kerajaan bakal menggalakkan semua pemilik stesen minyak di negara kita menjual petrol tanpa plumbum jenis RON 95 bermula tahun depan.

Galakkan ini dibuat kerana harga petrol RON 95 dikatakan lebih murah berbanding RON 97 yang dijual dengan harga RM2 seliter sekarang. Beliau juga berkata RON 95 sesuai dengan semua jenis kenderaan ringan yang digunakan di negara ini dan kualitinya tidak jauh berbeza dengan petrol RON 97.

Jadi apa perbezaan antara RON95 dan RON 97? Tak bahaya ke kalau tiba-tiba kita bertukar daripada RON97 kepada RON 95? VOY pun buat sedikit research pasal benda ni.

RON = Research Octane Number.

Semakin tinggi RON = Lagi lambat meletus = Lagi kurang ‘Knocking’ = Lagi selamat enjin korang.

Untuk enjin pulak, semakin tinggi RON, Advance lagi banyak (so tingkatkan performance enjin).

Beza RON 95 dan RON 97 tak banyak sangat. Tapi disyorkan kalau kereta tu pakai RON97, jangan pakai RON rendah seperti RON 95. Sebab benda ni tak baik untuk enjin korang (cepat rosak).

Jadi ini bermaksud tak semua kereta boleh pakai RON 95. Cek kat penutup minyak korang atau buku manual kereta untuk tengok tahap minimum RON yang korang boleh pakai. Kalau nampak RON97 nasib la korang. Buat masa ni, banyak kereta ringan-ringan seperti Kancil, Kelisa, dan Viva, semuanya tak de masalah kalau nak guna RON 95 ni. Cuma kereta-kereta mewah seperti Mercedes dan BMW je digalakkan jangan pakai RON 95. Kalau pakai jugak, nanti rosak enjin karang.

Galakkan kerajaan menggunakan RON 95 ni seolah-olah macam serampang dua mata. Mereka yang guna kereta-kereta biasa ni dapat la rasa minyak yang lagi murah. Manakala mereka yang guna kereta mewah kena la bayar minyak lebih (lagi-lagi sekarang ni kerajaan dah tak kasi subsidi minyak). Dah pakai pakai kereta besar, so tanggung la sendiri.

Switch to RON95 for Better Savings?

Yesterday, Datuk Sharir Samad said that the government is planning to encourage all petrol station operators in the country to sell RON 95 unleaded petrol starting next year.

RON 95 prices are said to be lower that ROM 97 that is currently being sold at RM2 per liter. He also said that RON 95 is suitable for most light vehicles that is being used in the country and the quality is not much different than RON 97 petrol.

So what’s the difference between RON 95 and RON 97? Is it not dangerous is we suddenly change to RON 97? So VOY carried out a little research on it.

RON = Research Octane Number.

The higher the RON = the later the combustion = less knocking = better for the engine.

For the engine, the higher the RON, the advance is higher so the engine performance is increased.

The difference between RON 95 and 97 is not much. But it is recommended that is the car is made of RON 97, you should not use anything lower than that. This is not good for the engine (shortened lifetime).

So this means that not all cars can use RON 95. Check the lids of your petrol tank or the manuals to find out the minimum RON number the car can handle. If it’s RON97 then you’re out of luck. For the time being, many light vehicles such as Kancil, Kelisa, and Viva can use RON 95 without any problems. Only luxury cars such as Mercedes and BMWs are not recommended to be used with RON 95. There is a risk of engine damage if it’s used.

The government’s encouragement in using RON 95 is a double sided blade. Those who uses light vehicles will get to enjoy cheaper fuel while those who uses luxury cars will have to pay the same as now and the government is no longer subsidizing the fuel. So if you use big cars, who will have to face the consequences.
