so far wat i know esso the comsumption is better than shell.... shell the fuel burn much faster than esso.... so actually its all depends on individual.... rite... cheers~

 

i was previously on esso 8000. getting 19-21km/l. now change to shell 98 is 20-21km/l. maybe is my own feeling. but feel bike smoother and lighter with shell. so now sticking with shell. somemore some station the air pump at every pump station. upz.

 

btw my riding style everyday open Vtec. open all the way from highway everyday with TPE. weekdays punggol TPE all the way to PIE connect ECP all the way open highway most of the times.

[AEROR1DER]

Is 20km/l for spec 2 normal with rpm maintain at 6?

noticed that when i pump v power at shell near causeway consumption higher den when i pump at esso at causeway...esso reserver at 320 but v power hit reserver at 290...any one noticed this?

[iMustik]

i think its a commonly known fact that vpower has less mileage than other brands... but i think it has to do with the throttle too... u throttle more, u use more... and since vpower makes u throttle happy, shud have lesser mileage ar... hahaha

juz my 2cts...

[zelda1031]

21st to 24th of may 7pm - 11pm vpower at e price of fomular 98

Malaysia and Singapore V-Power different...

 

Sg V-power give u better mileage and performance...

for me esso , caltex 95/98 grade will be fine .. depends on convenience for item like ATM , Location etc .. Cheers sell stuff cheaper as well ..

[kel_wt86]

support caltex... as got the most discount for mi as safra member. caltex silver. use it on my ta200 now spec 2... hee

[maruzounaki]

so far last week pumped rm26 petronas rm1.8/litre..mileage was 375km 1 bar sometimes reserved fluctuate. I recommend petronas. the best so far for mileage and smoothness.

[Jfor_Jimmy1986]

yupss.. either Petronas or BHP ... tseems like the two petrol brands are 'light' in weight.. this few days travel 80% highway 20% road, currently 278km, my s4 still left with 3bar while stationery, picking off drop to two bar, think will be two bar any sooner.. like 300km?

 

think i can hit 400km before reserve this time ...

[effey]

can hit 385km reserved. 435km near empty for my specIII. aftermarket exhaust, knn air filter.

my preferred choice. petronas.

[vespaT5]

petronas gd 4 long distance run ah?

[lunzai]

hmm btw cud i ask currently i riding a super 4 revo using Fuel injection i heard some revos owner told mi they went to m'sia and pump their petrol suddenly the bike lose its power and not as gd as b4 and when he went to the bike shop the person say tat jb petrol is not so clean and will jam up the Fuel injection fuel intake.... wonder cud u guys clear my doubts abt tis?

[thrasher]

stock s4 vtec 3. riding at 8k rpm vtec open for first 120km, the rest of my mileage was kept below 6k rpmmy petrol lasted till 370km includin reserve. petronas primax 97. i weigh 108kg always ride with pillion 50kg.. so i guess thats not bad?

[dil]

hahaha..me too! mine was from SG custom all the way back to woodlands. was going to JB to pump petrol but battery flat cannot start bike, just after SG custom. have to push across after permission granted by ICA officer.

 

 

haa..pushing S4 is not fun..had tried it for about 1km..

[Rafpires]

i think just get a regular 5000 or 95 petrol grade is enuf for S4. Dont waste money n get the 98 or v power

[Rafpires]

Anw i tried V-power once. Its smooth!! but the downside is tt it drains ur fuel like running tap water...

[ragavan]

Esso is better than shell. Shell petrol burns faster. Both are 95

[exige]

My spec 1's consumption is around 22km/l to 26km/l, using V-power.

 

Am using Shell mainly because of convenience. (its along the way to my home) Not willing to detour or go out of the way to pump petrol for bikes. Also, I was previously using the Shell card that allows me to pay at the pump. So its swipe card, enter pin, then pump and go. No need to waste time queuing inside after pumping.

 

But otherwise, for my car, I only pump SPC 95. (Pump SPC because its said to be the cleanest, and pump 95 because I'm driving an old car)

 

From what I heard, based on the oil origins, SPC and Caltex should have the cleanest products, followed by Esso and lastly...ShXXX.....

 

However, do note that I'm pumping SPC only because its said to be the cleanest. Not because it gives the best mileage. What I do to get the most petrol for my buck is to:

 

1) Minimise my pumping frequency. Eg: Pump only when I'm reaching reserve, or is in reserve. Cause everytime we open the tank, a bit of petrol, (or "light ends" will evaporate)

 

2) Pump in the early mornings or at night after some heavy downpour. The idea is to pump when the petrol is at its coldest. Cause our petrol is charged by volume; and when its cold, the petrol contracts most. Hence we get more petrol for our money when we pump when its cold.

 

3) Dont pump too fast when refueling. The faster you pump, the more petrol evaporates. However, if you pump too slowly, especially during hot weather, the petrol will also evaporate. Hence you got to moderate the pumping speed.

 

4) Last but most most impt tip: Throttle in moderation la.. haha. This is what makes the difference between 22km/l to 26km/l.

Just need to check with the people in the oil industry.

But my info isn't the most updated, and I didn't personally verify it. So things might have changed.
