[QUOTE="turbology, post: 322101, member: 10223"] Unfortunately, not exactly true. Is not just "higher compresison need higher octane". It depend how the car is tune to run on what gasoline. Some engine that is 9.x:1 compression require RON97 or higher. Your link to your 5th review on fuels is also misleading. Shell V-power octane rating vary from RON95 to RON100 throughout the world. I assume the reviews was done in UK. UK's V-power has rating of RON99 Link: [url]http://www.shell.co.uk/home/content/gbr/products_services/on_the_road/fuels/v_power_pkg/overview.html[/url] Lnk2: [url]http://www.shell.com/home/content/gbr/products_services/on_the_road/fuels/v_power_pkg/tech_spec.html[/url] And sadly, Malaysia V-power is still RON97. BP has no affiliation with BHP. Both is different company. BP sold thier business to BHP (Boustead Holdings) in 2006 Is the fuel the same ? I am not sure. Many said BHP claimed is not. But what I know is, the fuel definately different from the one in UK :) Cheers [/QUOTE]
