[Discussion] Which type of petrol do you pump for Phantom?

[Sikkandersha]

Hi dudes... I wolud like to know which type of petrol do you pump for your phantom? Any comments are welcomed.... Just wanna know

[Wahoo]

normally i'll pump SPC 98, coz got higher discount.

occasionally when i go JB, will pump esso lah.

but every 4th time i'll pump techron 98, think it help to do some clean-up, as the adv stated.

 

my fren also ta200, and he all de way use techron.

 

actually i think de petrol not much diff for normal road riding. (personal view)

[kwc]

spc of cos. got spc card get discount more..

[kwc]

but some time i pump some techron into tanks.

[almondking]

er ... i put 刀標油 。。

 

haha .. esso 2000 for me.

[Wahoo]

er ... i put 刀標油 。。

 

ABSOLUTE more power!

[raphael]

heavy fuel oil

[thatone1]

hmm nowadays at shell quite difficult to find 92 petrol too.

 

usually i pump esso synergy 2000 , which is their version of 92 too.

 

at caltex i only can find techron sliver, which is 95 :S

[buttbutt8]

i put on esso 95.

i feel v-power is like very rough for mi bike. i tink phantom no pt pump v-power la. haha. i also felt that all those hype about petrol able to clean engine are gimmicks. i tink the truth is that at most what they can do is not to dirty ur engine, but to clean it? i really doubt so.

i usually cruise up the causeway to pump my baby..@ malaysia i'll go for V-POWER or Techron GOLD.Personally i perfer Tech Gold.Hey guys,just wanna ask is there any difference in Malaysia's and Singapore's fuel ? Heard that Malaysia's fuel have lesser RON as compared to Singapore's.Is that true?

[s4dreamer]

My dad told me that there is no difference. It's just publicity.

 

For me, I go for Caltex Techron 95 all the way because the petrol kiosk is near my workplace and home!

oOk.kewl.Thx s4^dreamer!

[s4dreamer]

oOk.kewl.Thx s4^dreamer!

 

Hey 06apr06, no need to pump Techron Gold! That's too expensive! Don't waste your money!! Save your money on other things (like new brakes, new horns, etc...)

 

And... don't mention it!

For me I go for Shell 95, tried shell 98 and Vpower but FC not as good as Shell 95, 36km/litre so far the best from shell 95.

agreed. tried shell 92, 98, V-power and esso 8000. best milage was achieved w shell 95 (37km/ltr), and not just that, engine sounds most quiet and smooth w shell 95 than even 98 or V-power.

V-power really power haha I feel better with it..but too much hurts my wallet and engine, cause I tend to ram more

oh really? thats interesting i will try it the next fill! is there a physical explanation for that? whats the diff between 95, 98 and VP? only the additives?

[jB]

you can try dripping some onto yr taste buds hahaha..jk jk don't try!! dude just give 98 a try then the next pump v-power and you'll feel like going faster and faster if there ain't no traffic lights that is

[derBenjamin]

little joker ah? usually I drink 1 liter b4 i put it in the tank and wait how the first fart smells like

No idea, i actually decides to switch to shell 95 after flipping through and came across one news articles talking about different grade of petrol research done by the journalist. And they foudn out that Shell 95 gives greatest RPM results and stuff etc (sorry, not very knowlegable in technical aspect ) and the redundancy of using Vpower and 98 for normal usage bikes, unless yours a sports car or bikes...So, i tried switching from vpower/98 to 95 and the results are great.

 

Good FC...

i heard putting mothball in ur tank helps to boost up bike performance..dun know whether isit true or what.any1 with the right explanation?

[buttbutt8]

that is discuss b4 in some other thread. if i'm not wrong the explaination is that it will only help if the petrol that u r using is of the really lousy grade type like below 90 kind (available in some countries) and adding of moth ball will turn that sub-90 grade petrol into maybe RON 90 (or something else) but for singapore petrol, min ron is 92, hence adding of mothball have no use at all. It might even degrade ur petrol!!!

Ya like i've said earlier, 95 petrol is smoother for mi TA200. But FC wise Esso 98 really give mi a good FC (39km/ltr). 95 wise i haven calculate yet.

ahh, research from journalists, that sounds always good! btw. i heard b4 that all petrol that goes to diff stations like esso, shell, BP and so on are all the same, just the additives, mixed by the brand makes the difference..

 

i will give the 95 a try for my next topup, sounds great, costs less and reach longer.. what else can a cruiser want?

[Replay]

I'm using SPC 95 as i don't have much spending power..

how is shell's 95? cost the same ma?

Any comments?
