[QUOTE="6UE5t, post: 1064277870, member: 103722"] Actually one can just look at the US who only has max RON95 available anywhere, but yet they also have most cars in the world sold there, be it slow econo cars to hyper cars with scary power levels, and all those still can run perfectly ok with the available RON95, don't they? :) So that should answer any doubt if RON95 will damage your engines or not. Few days ago I also saw an episode of 5th gear whereby they tested several fuels of RON 95, 97, & 98 on a Golf GTI. The result was some of the higher RON do produce a bit more max power (some up to 3-4HP) but other also only produce <1HP difference compared to RON95. When test driven, they would only notice a slight difference in throttle response. So the conclusion, even if they do can make more power, it actually might not be worth the price difference as most of the time you would not benefit from it (I guess unless you go racing or time attack session where every bit of power and seconds is important). Of course again provided the car can still adjust to accommodate the lower RON so it won't knock. [/QUOTE]
