Petrol Ups and Downs

[taaouicha]

what's the diff between a shell 92vs 95vs 98 vs vpower ?

4 a 2 stroker i think the 2t plays a heavy part in the bike's performance.

but the different grades of petrol have a different % of octane right ?

i read in the straits times b4 that the % octane affects those high end sportscars but 4 bikes does it matter what grade of petrol is used ?

anyone encountered difference in performance when say pump shell 92 vs vpower ?

thx again =p

depends on engine compression. so far i know 92 is enough for 400cc and 95 enough for 600 and above. no diff in performance if meet the min ron.

then leaded vs unleaded ? 92 is leaded 95 is unleaded ?

with wat ya said earlier then its redundant to use 98 or higher for a krr...

but 92 vs 95 for a krr

would using 95 give

1. more km per liter of fuel ?

2. does it being unleaded do anything performance wise ?

3. 95 release less smoke + helps less carbon build up at exhaust ?

anyone wanna shed light into this issue ?

all are UL petrol. depends on engine compression. i duno abt krr. for sp is min 95. normally is lower the ron, the better mileage. for smoke, it is the 2t.

Aiyaaah! our normal standard machine take 92 ~ 95 octane enough lah!

Latest from news just now @ 9.00pm Petrol hit all time high US$111.80 or something. for once SM is wrong, he said it will not hit more than US$110.

Wen it hit US$120 I will change to Wave 125 fuel injection

[Mengz_Zai]

i think pulsar is good

[MrHui]

Here we go again! Barely 2 weeks after a 4 cent increase, pump prices rise again! As of 4 pm on 17 March 2008, we can confirm that all 4 petrol brands have increased pump prices for petrol by 4 cents and pump prices for diesel by 5 cents in the following order:

 

Shell - 9 am, 17 March 08

Caltex - 11 am, 17 March 08

ExxonMobil - 2 pm, 17 March 08

SPC - 3pm, 17 March 08

Actually the crude oil price did not go up much, it is the weak value of US$ that makes it trade at a higher US$ price. Since S$ is now much stronger vs US$, we should not feel the effect at all.....but the evil petrol company make this as an excuse to increase the pump price to make more profit!!

 

What do u think?

At least, their companies provide petrol allowance. It does help.

These are what I found out from the sticker labels I saw on the tanks of a brand new R1 and a Kawasaki Z10 at a bike shop a couple of years ago, R1: This motorcycle is equipped with racing performance parts a minimum of 95 graded gas is to be used. Z10: *same statement but with a minimum of 98 graded gas*.

 

On a personal level, I use either the 92 or 95 graded gas of any brands in SG when my tank hits the reserve level just enough for me to go to JB from Tampines via the 1st link where I'll fill up with the "best" types of gas they have to offer . Btw, I'm riding a Busa (minimum grade of gas is '87 ).

There are 3 things in which we, the consumers, can do:

1. Continue with filling gas in SG

2. Train ourselves to not be lazy to travel to JB bi-daily /weekly for top-up sessions (apply for motorcycles with bigger tanks else not worth the travel and hassle)

3. Stop riding/driving altogether

 

As for me, I'm with option 2 though I do feel kinda lazy at times .

Wave 125 is fuel-injected??

 

There are few version of wave, wave i are FI

One fine day, Malaysia petrol will no longer be subsidized by the government. It is just not sustainable. Be prepared.
