What Fuel Do You Use For Your Vehicle?

[robmiranda]

If you have a high compression engine then you might have pre-ignition with regular gasoline which can severely damage your multivalve engine.

Follow your manufacturer's octane recommendation.

 

Regular gasoline is less than 89 octane.

 

Unleaded is 93 octane

Premium is 93 or 95 octane while some variants have 96 or 97 octane

 

Regular gasoline is used by multi-purpose engines in the farms, boats, lawnmowers and brush cutters.

Two-stroke motorcycles like the old Suzuki X120 can handle regular gasoline

Old Volkswagen Beetles also run on regular gasoline.

 

Regular gasolines can be found mostly in the provincial gas stations and only very few gas stations in Metro Manila carry regular gasoline.

high-compression engine is equivalent to a car designed for racing, or those SUVs. I've talked to a mechanic (engineering graduate raw) and he said that in the past (example, the beetle) there was no problem putting regular gasoline in their cars. hehehe.. kailangan raw nila iadjust palagi ang carborador for different driving conditions. I believe this is the idle of the car.

 

he mentioned also a process of "decarbonizing". maybe the old-timers here can shed some light into it? irerev mo raw ng todo ang engine mo to get rid of carbon deposits.

 

anyway, oil refining has come a long way since. dahil electronic na raw ang fuel injection ng sasakyan ngayon there should not be any problem when you put regular gas in your car, especially for stop-go traffic. tama nga naman siya if you think about it; bakit ka magkakarga ng high octane gasoline (like premium) when you will only travel in clogged traffic?

 

isa pa.. kung okay lang kargahan ng ethanol gasoline ang sasakyan mo, why not put gasoline with no ethanol mixture? I have in my scooter and there is no problem. stock pa ang scooter ko. nawala yung vibrations nya and smoother ang takbo. pinababa ko pa nga ang menor because napansin ko nuon kapag unleaded ang ikarga ko ay parang nasasakal ang pag-accelerate ko. with regular ay nawala rin yung pag-lurch ko.

Flying V, Ethanol unleaded

[devil_boy]

shell unleaded for my civic and for my raider 150..

[tatang1972]

I prefer shell fuels. Based on my experience it gives me ore mileage compared to the other fuels

[dunjaygarcia]

Caltex with techron, clean combustion means clean engine. (but my company is a sister company of TOTAL, hehhe.)

[dunjaygarcia]

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?

 

 

 

 

It's bad if you're driving carburator engines, but if your engine is EFI it's hazzle free.
