[AD] Malaysian motorists put Petron Blaze 100 to the ultimate real-world test
The secret to true power isn’t really a secret. The right fuel goes a long way in unlocking that secret as far as anything with an internal combustion engine goes. Currently, Petron Blaze 100 is the most superior fuel in the market based on its 100 RON rating; the higher it is, the more resistance the fuel has against engine knocking and eventual engine damage.
Simplified, RON represents the ‘knock-resistance’ of the fuel. ‘Knocking’ happens when fuel in the engine cylinder combustion chamber ‘explodes’ before it is supposed to, resulting in engine damage, which is why a higher RON rating is often regarded as better for the engine.
Unlike other fuels, Petron Blaze 100 has the highest density in the market, which ultimately means that it has higher energy content. A higher energy content means improved fuel economy and better value for long-distance travel.
Another advantage that sets Petron Blaze 100 apart would be its ultra low sulphur content of less than 10wppm, which meets the Euro 6 standard. As we all know, a lower sulphur content is key to better engine protection and a longer engine life.
Petron’s proprietary formula called TriAction Advantage in Blaze 100 delivers improvements in engine protection, mileage and fuel economy. Its combination of fully-synthetic detergent, organic combustion improver and friction modifier helps the fuel burn more efficiently, thus enhancing engine responsiveness, cleanliness and lowering fuel consumption.
That said, the only way to truly put these qualities to the test is with a real world experience, which is exactly what these three Malaysian motorists have undergone with their own vehicles...
Lim Jae Sam (Volkswagen Golf)
Does your vehicle perform better with Petron Blaze 100 compared to other fuels?
The fuel offers me a slight power gain and more responsive acceleration.
Do you think Petron Blaze 100 is better for the health of your engine?
I can’t really tell any difference in terms of noise, but my engine runs smoother with RON 100. Also, fuel consumption is much better and I believe the fuel can make a difference to my running costs in the long run.
How does Petron Blaze 100 affect your fuel economy?
My fuel consumption has improved by about 15 percent. I recently drove from Penang to Kuala Lumpur, covering a distance of 330km. At the end of my journey, I averaged 18.3km per litre and my trip computer estimated that I still had another 700km of range to go.
Arman Sani Samuri (Hyundai Ioniq)
Does your vehicle perform better with Petron Blaze 100 compared to other fuels?
Petron Blaze 100 does make a significant difference to my engine’s performance. I am driving a hybrid car so when I switched to Sports Mode, I can feel the sudden power and quick acceleration, especially when overtaking.
Do you think Petron Blaze 100 is better for the health of your engine?
There is less engine humming when making a hill climb. Another thing that I have noticed is the noise. With Petron Blaze 100, my engine is slightly quieter. I do believe that using a higher quality fuel can protect the engine from prolonged wear and tear.
How does Petron Blaze 100 affect your fuel economy?
Since I am driving a hybrid (Hyundai Ioniq), I foresee that a full tank of Petron Blaze 100 can last me for more than a month – which is better than other fuels that I have used.
Joyce Siaw (BMW 320i)
Do you think Petron Blaze 100 is better for the health of your engine?
Yes, I believe that when my engine runs smoothly with less noise, it is a good sign that my engine is healthy and working optimally.
How does Petron Blaze 100 affect your fuel economy?
After using Petron Blaze 100 for a week, I still have more than half of a tank left. Another thing that I like about Petron Blaze 100 is that it delivers better fuel consumption on long distance trips.
Tan Meng Keat (Yamaha MT-09)
Does your vehicle perform better with Petron Blaze 100 compared to other fuels?
I really feel the burst of power and acceleration when I twist my throttle. The response is instant. It only takes me six seconds to get from a rolling 50kph to 100kph. The immediate power makes it easy for me to overtake.
Do you think Petron Blaze 100 is better for the health of your engine?
The engine sounds smoother with less vibrations. Start-ups are a bit easier too. I believe the fuel can make a difference to my running costs in the long run as the engine feels like it doesn’t have to work as hard compared to when I’m running on RON 95.
How does Petron Blaze 100 affect your fuel economy?
On RON 95, a full tank (18 litres) can last me about 350km. I have yet to exhaust a full tank of RON 100 at time of writing, but I estimate it will last me till 400km, which adds up to an additional 40km at the extra cost of RM10. However, the performance and power difference justify the higher price.
Mohan Kumar A. Balakrishnan (BMW G30 530i)
Does your vehicle perform better with Petron Blaze 100 compared to other fuels?
Yes, it’s my first time using Petron Blaze 100 and I only have positive things to say about it. My engine feels more responsive, and my drive is smoother.
Do you think Petron Blaze 100 is better for the health of your engine?
As I have only used Petron Blaze 100 for a short period of time, it is too early for me to experience its full effect on engine maintenance or costs. So, I intend to continue using Petron Blaze 100 from now on to experience its benefits in the long run.
How does Petron Blaze 100 affect your fuel economy?
Based on my experience of using RON 97, I noticed that Petron Blaze 100 delivers better power and better mileage compared to RON 97.
Daniel Chin Wei Xiong (Nissan GT-R)
Does your vehicle perform better with Petron Blaze 100 compared to other fuels?
It feels more powerful and provides me with better acceleration than RON 97. My engine feels much more responsive with RON 100 and the pick-up is faster. You can feel the improved power when overtaking.
Do you think Petron Blaze 100 is better for the health of your engine?
My engine is much smoother and slightly quieter when running on Petron Blaze 100 - my exhaust system is already very loud to begin with. I think there should be a reduction in maintenance costs from using a higher quality fuel.
How does Petron Blaze 100 affect your fuel economy?
It definitely gives me better mileage than RON 97 which I usually pump. A full tank gives me about 350km, which can last me between one to two weeks. I do believe Petron Blaze 100 will provide better value for money in the long run as it also gives me engine protection on top of the better mileage.
