Petrol cost is on the rise..

Wanna ask around, what grade are you guys using? I'm currently feeding 98.

Thinking of using 95, will it affect performance or engine much?

any opinions?

 

Shouldn't hurt. I used lower and lower octane, until I was using just regular gas for the last four years. (your 93)

Never got any pinging or problems till I got the Racing Beat computer re-flash - then it would ping on anything but Super.

I work in a refinery, and have access to 120 octane fuels, but they do absolutely NOTHING for the Renesis.......

Give regular a try, lots of RX-7 owners never use anything else.

S

Liverpool! - excellent football club, but a shithole city!

 

personally speaking I 've always used 98 and above (V-power) for me car as this was the recommended fuels to use by MM...

using to low a grade of fuel can cause damage to the apex seals of our engine which could lead to more problems and shorter life span of the engine...

For Singapore is already not ideal conditions to run rotary as our country is too hot so personally speaking i feel that already our car is working in temperatures it's not designed for so taking away one more burden of using lower grade fuel is best...

Juz me 2 cents...

 

Put CNG lah~ hehe~

 

Thank you for the valuable input guys! CNG.. yeah I want to, hahaha

 

haha i nearly wanted to too...but i heard that CNG cannot be used for rotary and the bloody tank is damn big and heavy...

 

Right on bro!!!! And the damage goes up to 3000 bucks!!!!!!

 

the tank is too big to fit into our boot, unless we strap it on the roof....

 

if only.....we can install hybrid... hehe

that could save us tons on money on fuel.

 

Er..correction. MM rx8 can use 95octane. It is stated in the owner's manual and also, my SE told me so. hehe please ask me who my SE is.

I dont see how a low grade fuel can damage the apex seal. As long as you use 95octane and above..the car will run fine. The octane 95 and 98 is only a knock indicator being 98 of course will be more knock resistant. But our MM rx8 can use 95...using 98 wont serve any purpose except to burn a bigger hole in ur pocket.

P.S. Only MM rx8 can use 95. JDM must use 98. Remap rx8s also recommended to use 98.

 

can't help but notice this and would like to state that even JDM manual also mentioned 95 is ok. not sure why you mention JDM must use 98. 2 cents worth.

 

he forgot to take medicine again!

 

Bro but there will be green rebate.

A lambo called for conversion for cng. And he could find him self 100000+ richer in green rebate. But must be fast cos think the gov will try to change the system soon.

 

My dad has a cng car. And its really cheap. Full tank only 17 dollars can run from sg to malacca

 

??? serious arh?? haha pai seh i didn't know... was just posting wat i was told by the car agent....

 

Foe best performance, RON 96 and above. Can use RON 91 - 95 but with reduced performance. Singapore has RON 92 but the question is: Do you dare to try?

 

OK ahh.. so I'd assume it's safe to use 95 yah.. now half tank already so I'd go ahead and do 95....

 

Cause I dun like jdm car owners so I wan them to spend more money on petrol and less on mods...then I can keep up. muhahahahaahahahahhaahhaahhahahaha

 

*aHem* u don't like JDM model??? quite a few bros here JDM ley...later beat ur hand then cannot make pizza then u know. LOL!
