hmmm...

 

i feel petronas gives pretty good mileage among all the petrol in m'sia. however, i'm not one who is particularly concerned about mileage, because how u ride affects the mileage a lot too.

 

i dunno how to compare it against vpower and shell98 in s'pore, haven't use sg petrol yet

maybe its the "ingredient" not suitable for s4... i tried jb mobil (izzit F1 ?? i forgotten) & the mileage is quite gd...

 

Sg vpower -- 280km b4 reserve

Sg shell98 -- 300++km b4 reserve

Sg mobil 8000 -- still testing

Jb mobil -- 320++km b4 reserve

Jb vpower -- 300++km b4 reserve

 

seems like mileage difference is not v great & power wise no much difference... Not sure abt u guys ??

imho... there's no real way of measuring mileage unless u monitor it over a long period of time. short term wise, mileage difference is insignificant and even if its present, u cannot attribute it to the petrol alone. becos each time u ride, u do it differently based on bike condition, road condition, etc... which in turn results in vastly different mileage readings.

 

so in conclusion... juz use the brand u personally prefer.

i tried petronas for my phantom... better than vpower... maybe its wat u said... its the "ingredient" that is not suitable for s4

for ur info... i hav been using vpower ever since i finish my run-in... Now mileage at 22k. Only pump other petrol when im in "desperate" need or out of country. Only recently pump mobil because of the stupid ruling shell & the ocassional price increase from shell.

 

So for abt 80% of my travel is using vpower & average mileage at 280km b4 reserve... When i went jb a few times to pump their mobil, my consistent mileage of 280km changed... Tats y i said theres a difference in the "ingredients" used.

i never say abt petronas ... But like i said, the "ingredients" in different petrol will affect different type of vehicles or bikes.

yes... different "ingredients" affect different vehicles...

but the most consistently inconsistent "ingredient" that actually affects consumption more than the other "ingredients" is the rider/driver. which is why, a topic like this never generate a definite conclusion.

do u noe tat im not comparing wif other riders or vehicles ?? im comparing wif my own way of using different petrol... My riding style hav not changed & its been consistent all the while be it vpower or other petrol... Tats y i said different petrol affect different vehicles/bikes...
