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

[jB]

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

 

try a backfire after doing so dude

[Prestone]

i pump V-power coz got to claim my company end of the month and they gave me a certain amount to fill up for the month...and v-power shiok...top gear can overtake...

[globehart]

Currently pumping Esso/Mobil 98(green)...

 

Used to pump 95(red) from September06 to January07. Changed to 98(green) in February this year.

 

Difference felt was that, 98 lesser noise and smoother ride...

[Abyss]

among the petrol I tried .. I feel that esso 8000 is the best for my TA200

[thatone1]

i tried using shell 95 on the last pump and felt that the bike is smoother..

[loufu]

for my TA150, i pump 98, coz i felt when i m using 95 i pick up no power... T_T

i tried V power in JB today, so much difference from SPC 95!

[thatone1]

hmm i found a shell station off geylang rd near lor 6 that has shell 92 there.

probably one of the few left with shell 92 in the station.

If you stay in east...Siglap also have...

[Tanarthur]

Shell 95 and 98..the difference is 98 have more power... Based on the comments above...if want good FC have to make way for power..vis versa...

[ausa]

I use Caltex Techron 95, personal preference, use 95 instead of 98 it is because 95 is cheaper, secondly it's more than enough power for the requirement (according to the owner's manual is Octane 92) and when ever I travel to malaysia, I will use Caltex Techron Gold, since it is cheaper in malaysia plus the advantage of exchange currency rate.

There's one shell station at the junction of Mandai road and the road which leads to woodlands (coming from upper bt timah road).

although tested on car but still apply on bike.

Pump suitable petrol not best petrol.

[Lexanez]

I usually pump shell 98 but if its really true that 95 is better then i'll guess i will be changing to 95 then, the price difference is quite significant.

i tried it.. and with my bike i can feel a significant diff in perfomance! after pumping 95 it feels less responsive and sounds also a bit more "rough" give it a try yourself, but i'll stay at 98. also tried esse inbetween .. even worse oO

[kusa]

my FC stays 30-32km/L (so little -_-) for shell 95 98 vpower.. haha not much diff =\

[Guest @h_püi™]

using caltex techron 95... give me an avg of 40km/L.

[TheYasMan]

Esso 95 - 37km/L.

Esso 98 - 39km/L.

[Thailia]

yeah, using Vpower or shell 98 has better performance than using 95, if just for normal ride, 95 do just fine... i have switch back to 98 and v power (alternate pumps) now, and im still able to achieve 37-39km/litre FC.

 

yeah thats the news i read from : http://motoring.asiaone.com.sg/owners/20070428_001.html

[KwanYu]

The V-power from malaysia is ron 97 and s'pore is ron 98 if im not wrong.

[thatone1]

Gold with Techron 98 cost me $13.20 with 5% discount yesterday ... that's for close to 9 L only .

[FEARLESS_FIGHTER]

I am riding TA 150 for 6 years, I use shell 92.

[Zachery]
