I think misnomer kasi yun the higher octane rating, the faster the car goes. Parang sa computer na thinking the higher the clock speed, the faster the PC is.

 

I think sa car, it just so happens na the cars na tumatanggap ng higher octane are also the ones na mabilis naman kasi talaga. It's got alot to do with the compression ratio of the car.

 

Anyway, best to look at your car's manual kung ano pinaka ok na ilagay.

 

As for me, I use Petron XCS with 10% Ethanol.

unleaded, i usually load from seaoil sa san juan.

 

fyi lang, seaoil sa may san juan coliseum sells at least 2pesos cheaper per liter.

 

Tuloy pati yung filoil and caltex beside them had to match the price.

i use unleaded be it seaoil, shell, caltex, petron but it depends on who is much cheaper when fueling in...

 

pare-pareho lang naman yata sila eh, presyo lang ang dipirinsiya...

Oil refiner and retailer Petron Corp. has warned that the current ethanol-blended gasoline (E-10) could damage car engines and urged the Department of Energy to come up with clearer specifications for the fuel blend.

 

Petron chair and chief executive Ramon S. Ang said they had received many reports that the current blend is “highly corrosive.”

 

According to Ang, the company wrote the DoE last month requesting new guidelines to help protect motorists.

 

The Philippine Daily Inquirer was unable to get a comment from the DoE as of presstime. The E10 blend is still being sold in gasoline stations.

 

Ang said in a briefing that the alcohol mixed with gasoline could do much damage to a car’s gas tank, fuel pump, carburetor and fuel injector, among others.

 

The problem, he said, was that the government did not specify that there should be a dehydrator to remove the water content, which is what makes the ethanol-blended gasoline (E10) highly corrosive.

 

“That’s why Petron wrote to the DoE. If we push E10, we have to prepare the correct specifications to prevent damage to cars,” Ang explained.

 

“Right now, the DoE together with the industry is formulating the specifications and the guidelines. They are studying it. What we are saying here is based on the experience of motorists and our own experience as well,” Ang said.

 

Under the Biofuels Law, all oil companies are mandated to pre-blend 5 percent ethanol in gasoline-fueled vehicles starting February 2009 and increase this to 10 percent by 2011. Most of the oil companies began pre-blending 10 percent ethanol in their gasoline products as early as 2008, way ahead of the mandate of the law.

 

In a separate phone interview, Petron president Eric O. Recto said the company was still “in the middle of collating data to help the industry understand the potential impact of ethanol (on vehicles).”

 

“We have empirical evidence coming from all over but we’re not done with the information gathering—a few more weeks or a month maybe to complete (it)... ethanol has certain negative effects on car engines,” Recto said.

 

He noted that the move is an initiative of Petron, but was something they thought would benefit the rest of the oil industry.

 

“Let me put it this way, there are pluses and minuses in using ethanol and we just want to make sure that both sides are studied and heard first,” Recto said.

i hate to say this but "I told you so"

 

as long as car manufacturers doesn't specify their vehicle engines as E10 compatible, don't force to run it using E10.. the little you save on fuel will negate on the cost of repairs once your engine (including components) breaks down

caltex silver cause of hsbc rebate. i know this is off the topic pero di ko mahanap un thread eh. Is 10% ethanol, biofuel, e10, whatever you call it is bad to the engine, spark plugs, and electric system of the car?
