Stations With Cheapest Fuel Prices


Recommended Posts

Will E10 warrant bad effects to your engine ?

 

technically and realistically, you have to check and confirm that your vehicle is set to take in hybrid fuel mixtures; and along those same lines - up to how much of a mixture your vehicle can take.

 

i run my 00 expedition on e10, but that is with a) knowledge that Ford engines from the mid-90's have been built to take in hybrid fuels, including ethanol - to up to a 30 percent mixture in some engines; and B) knowledge that Ford Triton truck engines like that on the expedition can take low octane fuel grades, up to as low as 70 octane. In other words, the engine isn't picky.

 

bmw's as well, up to as far back as the late 80's, can take e10 on all their engine grades. am a member of the bmw car club, and know of a some who tried. of course we still prefer petron blaze (petron is an official sponsor of the club).

 

some engines are pickier, or simply not optimized for it. this can't be felt immediately, nor will it have any immediate ill effects, but it can cause complications in the long run on sensitive sensors and technical parts affecting crank sensors, electronic valve timing controls, electronic fuel injectors and fuel mixture controls. the very first effects will be felt in the idling and combustion of the engine.

 

hope this helps...

 

OH, and just to quickly add - just so this doesnt become OT:

 

Try the Jetti Gasoline Station along Macapagal near MOA. I find it cheaper, and drop by when am in the area.

Also try Caltex along Shaw Boulevard, near the Rosal Motel on Canley. (I swear I was in the area for the GAS Station) :)

I think the quality of the fuel that you put in your car is more important than the price. Tried this before. I kept looking for the cheapest gas station among the big 3 (Shell, Petron & Caltex) and only filled up at those stations. I was losing around 10% from the mileage i was getting before. Later i found out that those were the stations that regularly had "special additives" in their tanks. When i went back to my trusty old gas station i got my usual fuel mileage back.

 

With today's prices, if you save 2 pesos per liter but lose 5% fuel mileage, you'll end up losing money. Hindi pa smooth ang takbo ng engine mo. It's better to find a station that gives you quality fuel. Or marry an executive from an oil company. heheh.
