Anyway,to clear your doubts.. there is no such thing like Malaysian petrol added with kerosene...trust me...I'm working in the petroleum line...any such nonsense the company will get sued..don belief me..try adding SG petrol with kerosene...see whether ur bike can move or not.kerosene and petrol don blend.even Shell pure Vpower is colourless and to add the blue dye is not anyhow adding..we have our own ration and proportion....explaination as why your carbs are dirty..simple...the pump station holding tanks are not well maintained..impurities etc etc.as for RON reducing.its up to the Petroleum company...its just a matter of adding a solution call MTBE to boost the RON... Just sharing my knowledge..

Luckily we got chemistry expert down here to clear our doubt.. :cheer:

means dont pump v-power all the time and exp petrol doesnt mean ur engine would be better

 

 

Q. why dont pump v-power all the time ?

 

ANS. it is because that v-power is addictitive and would cause ur engine to be weak if u change to other petrol after prolong usage of v-power.

 

hope i not wrong

[james bomb]

caltex is the smoothest

[james bomb]

caltex is the smoothest

shell i neber use before

esso is ok, so so

spc sucks, engine very loud

 

 

just my 2 cents

[HondaSP]

i using caltax gold now ... but haven test my spec3 3 can last how long ...

BTW any can comment abt the platium of caltax ???

[Kutrax]

Petronas primax3.

so far so good

[Manzz]

If in Sg, i prefer caltex.. Dunnoe why after I pump caltex Gold techron, the bike feels smoother in terms of response.. If onli i got money to pump in sg often..

[cobbett]

my 2 cents worth

pump caltex gold at JB (station nearest at custom), had rattering sound in my engine when I switch on my engine in the morning but was told by my mech that it is normal cos it goes off after i warm up my spec 2......and mil is 280 km before reserve

 

change to Shell V-power (JB), though the price is higher at (RM2.15) but i dont have the rattering sound from my engine and the ride is smoother........but mil is now 260km after I just install my 6pt grounding and P-max......sian......sian....

 

but i find something very interesting.... that if i ram my bike at stationary position..to clear carbon...then my bike FC will usually rise...dont know whether is it that we should not ram too much...think need tuning again........

[Dscheng]

Shell V power best ! But expensive !

[HondaSP]

hmmm caltax plantinium no ppl using n no ifo abt it ?

[Metal_Jawa]

would say shell v-power is the best option... but due to the raising oil prices... n budget wise i'll stick to shell 98... kinda good enough for travelling...

maybe once in a while juz give a full tank of v-power to clean the engine...

So my vote goes for SHELL... haha... been using it for more than 2 yrs already...

[sohzai]

hmm..i think all opinions and thoughts should be based on some impression thingy and not the real feeling. If you have the impression that shell is good..you may naturally say shell is good, but it may not be true after all. Best is to get someone who dont know what fuel is it in the tank and let them feel the difference. haha..

 

But like all the rest, i also have my personal opinion. I prefer caltex. Have been switching between all brands except SPC(think we can give it a miss). Esso seem to be a tad behind shell and caltex. As for why caltex, i think mileage is just a bit higher..very little though..and seems to me platinum feels smoother than v-power.

[xb84]

my bike feel lousy with jb caltex.

so far happy with jb esso.

yet to try shell v-power. shld i??

personally prefers malaysia's F1 Esso as it gives the best mileage and value for $

 

when i tried petronas it kinda got knocking sound. i wonder wads wrong now.

 

mileage is abt 360 travelling at 100kmph.

 

for sg.. power 98 is more den enough for me. but usually i go for 95. mileage is about 370.. but the $$..

when u heard knocking sound is bad man.

mean ur pistons r wearing itself out..

 

All engine r engineered to run at certain RON (Research Octane Number)

n that something call MON (motor Octane Number) but its not applicable to singapore..it's more for those countries with winter....

 

So the most recommended n most cost-saving way is to pump the RON stated in ur car/bike manual ..

can't go wrong... no harm pumping higher octane number one but just cut into ur pockets...that 's all

 

 

N wat uncle say esso petrol dry up complete r all old folk tale.

all petrol will definitely left some residue behind ..one ..

due to particles n dye used.......

 

N all petrol hve to pass certain requirement by those testing board to sell out.

at its RON.. =)

but wat they do "under-table" then it up to the consumer to find out ..then sue for compensation......hehe..

my 2 cents worth
