Yeah, Chomic is rite! Those petrol kiosk workers r mostly temp workers,
lowly educated, at one time they were mostly Bangalai, thou they r in the
industry (in the words of FreshOil), but don't rely on their words, other
than cleaning ur windscreens, handle the hoses, usually they know naughts
about technical stuffs. Wink

"So now, i guess Projet & Petronas is RON92 UNleaded"......hello....in

Shell V-power (blue color) also RON97.
Most station only sell RON97 petrol.

yup... it's clear that those temp petrol kiosk workers are lowly educated
and they dont know much... Coincidencely, yesterday, I went to see Caltex
(opp sunway pyramid) and the manager was around. So, i started a
conversation and asked him about RoN92, and guess what! He said RON92 is
UNLEADED. What!!!! isk isk..

I checked with Mymesra/Petronas site and couldn't find info on RON of
their Primax. I suppose it's 97 and that goes for all the "green" nozzle
in almost every brand?

To sell leaded petrol in this country is actually illegal.
Leaded petrol will kill the cat converters in your car if your car is
equipped with one. Cars like WAJA comes with cat converters.
