Fuel for performance?

[vr2turbo]

My interpretation is when u pump in Caltex, it is cleaning your engine on that full tank. Once the engine is cleaned u pump in other brand so that brand is running on cleaner engine hence better mileage?

But normally 1 tank can't clean much.......lol

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

Even the new BHP97 still makes my car feels sluggish. The sound also different. Like very "heavy" sound. My wife also say why so noisy and suspect that i change muffler

So i only pump 97 from Petronas, Caltex and Petron. And one thing i realise is, after i pump caltex and then pump back petronas or petron, my mileage is higher. Example is my average mileage is i pump petronas is like 430-450km. After i pump Caltex, and pump back petronas or petron, i get about 450-480km.....

or probably when those 2 different brand have their own additive...then mixed together... u got best of both brand

I pumped in Petronas todayon my way bacl to Kuala Pilah as too lazy taking detour to find Caltex or BHP or Petron.

I know its too early to say but i feel like this new formula is better than the old one. I felt like i am using BHP. I will see these 1-2 days when i will used up the fuel and see the fc.

Even for modern engines higher sulphur content is good?

Yes bro. Have a read on the Penrite HPR engine oils.

So the newer the fuel and EO, healthy for environment, but not so for the engine......lol

New petronas fuel returned 12.9km/l on my blm. That means its better as normally it returned 11km/l.

However its still too early to say its better. Now work resume after long holiday, lets see if my ex5 can runs further between refill.

Hmm? That's not how it works la. Eh wait.. I think I have it all mixed up. Sulphur is the fuel. ZINC is the one that's high in HPR Penrite. @ixeo - sorry. I messed up my facts.

ZINC is to protect the engine... but you don't put it in the fuel laaaaaaa. haha this thread is about fuel.

Ya sorry. Got my facts all messed up

i hardly put Petronas since they were on the bad spotlight a few times. Plus one time i rent a car and put in Petronas and notice they fuel did not fill compare to other brands.

from that day i stopped using it, since u said the new formula is good maybe i check and see.

i am now using anything but not petronas more frequent Shell or Petron. If good mood i put higher RON as the fuel consumption is better IMO.

I'm surprised you're ok with Shell. Everyone I've met have either said it's bad or can't tell a difference. I avoid Shell like the plague

Shell many customers because got fleet card and many stations......lol

Again...it perform better on my EX5 compared to the old Petronas formula. Havent see whats the fc is like but after first quarter tank being used it looks promising.

It felt better than the old Petronas formula only but not on par with Petron...maybe close or the same as BHP.

The bike dont struggle or hesitate as much when opening the throttle at higher gear. Cruising at 90kmh felt easier and less strained.its not as easy as when i was on RON 97.

 

[driftkingII]

Yes, for the other case it was my 1st hand experience. Was on the way to 1U and my Proton Saga was almost running on empty so I stopped at the petronas just before the tunnel and right after the Rm3 toll. Wanted to fill up Ron95 and the attendant warned me they accidently filled diesel into RON 95 underground tanks. He said only Ron 97 unaffected. So since I was in desperate need, I filled up RON97. Now Imagine if the attendants were unaware or did not say anything to me....

THIS PETRONAS I BOYCOTT !!!

it is the one also i got cheated with a rental car, put RM20 it is like putting in RM10 or below...

it is so called under-maintenance (I didnt pass here a long time so i dont know if it is openned or not)

Caltex is alright, i just dont like them marketing using that "MythBustard dude"

 

[vr2turbo]

Aunty suka because of bonuslink.

But bonuslink points like need plenty only can get something, right? Rather have petron smiles points change fuel......lol

Usually I pump BHP or Caltex for obvious reasons, but they haven't been giving me good mileage recently. Last week I pumped back Shell V-Power and the fuel consumption improved. Anyhow BHP, Caltex and Shell remained the top 3 for me. Rarely pump Petron, and I boycott Petronas like plague. How is Petronas lately with their new formula? Any difference with Ron97?

Some sharing from my chemist friend with regard to our local Ron 97 fuels, however only limited to Shell, Petronas and Caltex:

Shell
V-Power 97 = performance oriented (higher oxygenated components)
V-Power Racing = marginally increased oxygenated components and improved hydrocarbons components.

Petronas
Almost identical to V-Power 97 but tweaked towards fuel efficiency

Caltex
Techron 97 focuses on scientifically proven cleaning ability containing polyetheramine which help reduce and keep valve clean and lower carbon build-up.

You're the only one I know who uses Vpower and says it improves FC.

 

[Nicholasng925]

Hahaha I know it's strange but my car seems to be happy with V-Power

so far Caltex returned slightly poorer fuel consumption, BHP is a little better than Caltex. I know it all started after I poured in the Techron Concentrate Plus.

Maybe tomorrow I will try Petron again, since many said it's as good as BHP. I have Caltex, Petron, Petronas and Shell near my house, except my favourite BHP

 

[Darth Evillus]

With the new euro4
No differences at all running penang KL with ron 95 and 97. Still i prefer caltex with bhp closely behind for smoothness and less roar of engine (I dont know if placebo or gut feel) but I also believe its cleaner as refinery is Singapore
