Can RON 95 fuel be used???

As of now, the government has announce that RON 95 fuel will be replacing RON 92 due to the fact that RON 92 fuel is of low grade and causes engine knocking or pinging. But what is knock or ping??? It is the sound that is being produce by the engine when uncontrolled burning or detonation occurs within the combustion chamber. This causes the piston to vibrate during combustion thus creating a metallic "pinging" sound which is also known as knock. This happens when the octane rating in the fuel is relatively low which causes pressure and temperature within the combustion chamber to rise higher then normal. As this happens in the long run, engine performance degrades from time to time. As to the topic above, Can RON 95 be used as an alternative depends on the engine and the performance which the fuel can produce. For example, RON 97 fuel can produce better performance and better anti-knock quality then RON 95 can due to the difference in octane rating. Another example is that most engines which are all running EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) systems are in need of fuel with higher octane ratings which makes the engine run better, cleaner and produce more power. Researches have shown that RON 95 can produce the same performance and anti-knock quality as RON 97 and can be used on most cars. RON 95 fuel is also a cheaper alternative to RON 97 fuel due to price range.

Below are the list of cars that can use RON 95 fuel.....
