  1. shell unleaded

     

    question po pag pinag halo mu ung unleaded tapos nag pa karga ako ng premium mag kaka problema ba ako nun?

     

    thanks!

     

    cheers!

     

     

    have done it...but have yet to experience something bad happening...I even mix up different brands...minsan kasi kung saan na lang ako abutin...though I regretted having to fill up with TOTAL unleaded once....hirap humatak...for my ride at least...

  2. Makes sense.  But does the rate of evaporation of high octane fuel makes a noticeable difference if you are going to compare it to regular unleaded fuel?

     

     

    AFAIK, the octane ratings don't affect your car's performance as long as you use fuels whose rating is above those recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. Octane ratings is just a measure of how much pressure (during the compression stage) the fuel can take before it ignites (without the use of the sparks coming from the spark plugs). Remember that pressure is proportional to temperature. As the valves compress, the temperature increases thereby making your fuel-air mixture more susceptible to premature combustion which disrupts the timing. The ratings recommended are the minimum amount of octane for your fuel-air mixture not to combust prematurely. So a 93 octane fuel will just explode at the same time as a 95 octane fuel in an engine whose minimum octane recommendation is 89.

     

    The thing is that, the oil companies put in additives to boost the power and the performance into the high octane fuels thereby making these premium fuels which provide greater power. But in the city traffic we have in Metro Manila, I don't think I need that power. Thus I stick with the cheapest fuel possible (I go for Xtra unleaded) and use premium gasolines only when driving on highways.

  3. bought my car 2nd hand kaya meron nang accesories pag bili ko. 14" mags, wiper fins, and window shades for the exterior. Though I plan to get some stock side door protectors (wala kasi ung sa akin). As much as possible, gusto ko sana to keep the exterior stock para di masyado maka-create ng drag. Costs more fuel consumption e.

     

    Interior, I got an Xplod HU and dashield (IMO absorbs the heat on the dashboard).
