U will be suprize that most of the petrol 95, 98 are come from the same refinery

Some operator add additive ( eg Shell, Mobile )

Some operator sale same petrol for a bit higher price and give huge discount ( so end up same price as across the street operator who is giving less discount ).

[Creetin]

different cars seem 2 like different petrol.

last time mi lancer loves esso. now my civic no difference btw esso or shell...... and some swear by caltex.

[shiraz]

u should try petronas!

on my bike... all $30 top up..

v-power = 290KM

platinum = 297/300KM

esso/mobil 8000 = 320KM

SPC = 300KM but runs like dirt!

PETRONAS = guess la.... 365KM around there sia!

btw, all the petrol i pump except petronas, is in singapore... only the petronas in malaysia... and oh ya... v-power in JB can give me abt 310KM.. much better then SG's one... my bike runs on around 21km/l to 23km/l

wah. JB veri difficult to find leh. hehe...

cannot compare here driving n there.

stop n drive condition here will waste much more petrol.

if you "run" in Malaysia alot n on their highway, you get

better mileage.

I get abt 11+km/L from their Caltex 97.

good enuff for me.

[yiling]

its weird, but i really felt the extra 50km when im using the SPC 98

Compare to what

Anyway, there is no such real compare... traffic condation is different everytime.

Last time, my car 72L full tank, can drive from Singapore ( Hougang ) to Thailand Border yes VPower and 220Km/hr.......

If u want better milage, need to know what is your car engine's SWEET SPOT.

My car Audi A6 2.4's SWEET SPOT is 140 km/hr - 11L/100Km.

but if I drive 220km/hr go up to 13.5L/100Km.

However if I drive 90Km/hr only 8L/100Km...

This is FULL MEASURED IN NORTH SOUTH HIGHWAY when NOT TRAFFIC....

So find your car's SWEET SPOT like ......

hmmm can't help thinking of my bike's g-spot

I dont think different petrol will give you different mileages.............I think its more the way we ride or drive & maintenance of the mechanical parts due to wear and tear or mis-tune............maybe that week kena more traffic jam(moving off from stationary requires more energy as compared to cruising)........or filter nv change or exhaust plug or spark plug foul..........etc

Just go for petrol slightly above your recommend ron will do(prevent knocking). I think in Singapore for most of the stock(no engine mod) car/bikes........95 ron is more than good enough.

i think 92 is more than enough . in countries like US 93/94 is somewhat of a luxury

[acidjazz]

My mom has a friend working in a petroleum company. After a survey they did across all the different brand of petrol, found out that Caltex comes out top of the list.

[jc85]

Try be gentle on the accelerator and I'm sure all brand of petrol will give u the millage u desire. If u know what I mean.

[madman]

So far, find that 92 is the worst of the lot. If u gonna scrap the car, 92 good enough.

For me, 95 and 98 not much diff in terms of mileage except 98 gives u smoother and better pick up compared to 95.

Overall, think that how we drive oso plays a part in the mileage.... step with a featherlike foot bros.

[Lester]

hmmm forget is yesterday or the day before... most of the esso and mobil station are havving 25 % off...

anyone knows if the promotion is still on ???

Octane 92 is common in USA because all the car's ECU are programmed differently. The petrol in Japan is Octane 100 standard throughout the whole country. So if you parallel import those JDM high performance cars, have to be careful to use 100 Octane or else knocking will come.

Talking about different brand, due to the additives added, there are some difference in a car's performance. I have used Shell XO/V-Power the car gets pinging, after I switched to Caltex Platinum 100, the pinging stops.

Correct me if I'm wrong, all car's user manual will indicate the min/recommended grade of petrol to use.

JC

For both my present and previous parallel imported JDM cars, the manuals although in Japanese language, does not indicate what is the minimum octane requirements. This is partly because like I mentioned, in Japan, there is only 1 standard grade of octane 100 at all petrol stations.

I guess when the local distributor sold cars for the Singapore market (which had their car's ECU customised before leaving the factory in Japan), then the manual will state the minimum octane rating. Likewise, as in the USA, as the country's common octane rating is usually 92, their car's ECU are already programmed before they arrive into the country.
