N.B. ( Nota Bene)Malaysia: the "regular" unleaded fuel is 95 RON, "premium" fuel is rated at97 RON (but for Shell 97 RON is V-Power, and Shell's V-Power Racing is rated at 97 RON.) (Research Octane Number] Higher octane ratings correlate to higher activation energies used in more powerful engines which are designed to operate with a high maximum compression. However, detonation(uncontrolled ignition) is undesirable in a spark ignition engine( contrasts with diesel-fueled compression-ignition engine), and is signified by audible "pinking" or in more extreme cases "knock". A common misconception is that power output or fuel efficiency can be improved by burning fuel of higher octane than that specified by the engine manufacturer.
