Melvinyuen 2nd Gear January 13, 2011 Author Share January 13, 2011 Less engine noise with SHELL octane 98, but mileage about same as SHELL octane 95, except slightly better acceleration EssoMobil octane 98 about the same as their octane 95, except slightly better acceleration Perhaps should try half tank of octane 92 mixed with half tank of octane 95. oh Maybe its true for the engine noise! But I still recon that it will still not make my car go faster! The mindset of people sometimes things that putting premium octane level petrol will make their car go faster which is not true! Hey Good-Carbuyer, you know anything aout car compression ratio? I think most cars can take 95 or 92 in Octane petrol in Singapore right? In States they have 87 premium but in Singapore we have Premium 98. Even 92 is of a higher grade then the states! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melvinyuen 2nd Gear January 13, 2011 Author Share January 13, 2011 WOW bro...so whats your secret...and what is your ride...??? I already pour out everything... Oh yours a Prius.. good for you then... I think theres a new ride in town rite from Honda... eco car or something...??? Actually not much of a secret! 1) car must be serviced properly and regularly. i service every 12K to 15k! 2) Do not speed unnecessary, Speeding kills. 3) Do not tail gate, so this will enable you to stop gradually and not abruptly. 4) Try to cruise if possible. 5) when reaching traffic lights release the accelerator 200m before the lights, this is to anticipate the change in lights and stop slowly. I also found out that if I drive easily not aggressively I tends to get to my place of destination faster! I tried to give myself a 5 minutes earlier start so that I can take my time in driving. (my car is a cruise car not a fast car) ultimately i get to my destination on time with no stress rather then getting on time with a lot of stress in and out of this and that lane. Errrrr i sound like a traffic police now... I AM NOT!... I am just a normal driver who things that i want to get to a place safe and sound. Well regarding Honda, they have a few models of Hybrid. Honda Insight hybrid, Honda Civic hybrid and Honda CRZ Hybrid. Maybe you can check out more on hybrids here http://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_...imageField.y=19 Interestingly Porsche is also having Hybrid...

Haziqko Clutched January 13, 2011 Share January 13, 2011 wah.. seemed like you can tolerate longer servicing schedule... for myself I must go by 8000K... even if its meant to last 10000... but for now I will only go for Idemitsu E.O... by far the best experience I got.... For my second full tank thou I'm currently at the 3/4 mark and the ODO reads out 214Km... so I gues I'll be getting around 800-850Km for the full tank this time round ... and by the looks of it I presume its gonna go down tank after tank... I'm loving my ride nowadays...so much I started to wax lah polish la...buy new carpet lah... crazy... Last time I really thought of selling it, I didn't even bother to wash for 2-3mths... now regret cos paint work very bad state... thinking of respray also end of this mth...

Do you know now the oil will turn black after few hundreds or a thousand of kms? thats the usage of the oil. If the oil is not black, it means that the oil is not cleaning the parts and not lubricating the engine and cleaning off. I normally use good oil that could take at least 10k. you know bro, keeping your car clean will also maximize your mileage. The air flow of the car is better(i know its crap). I clean my car weekly. wax monthly. even when it rains i also wash lol my concept is at least i wash off the dirt mah... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes very true its not crap... just ask the airforce or people working at the aircraft maintenance , clean and smooth body makes the wind glides better on the surfaces... thats why now I every 3-4 days go wax on wax off... But mine too late...cannot get the new car effect already... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most cars can take 95 or 92 in Octane petrol in Singapore right? In States they have 87 premium but in Singapore we have Premium 98. Even 92 is of a higher grade then the states! Agree with that theory. The truth is with the quieter engine, you accelerate to faster speed before we knew it. So we thought the petrol makes the car goes faster (laugh). Compression ratio of 9.0, 9.5, 10.0 recommended to use octane 90, 95, 100, respectively according to some literatures. In practice many/most of us try yo use the cheapest octane that does not produce engine knocks. There is no higher garde among Octane 92, 87, 98, petrol. The different Octane ratings are the compression ratios applicable before engine knocks/piston slap occurs and wear out the engine sooner. Modern petrol engine uses injection system so can tolerate wider variation in the Octane ratings of petrol used. So many motorists like me will try to use the cheapest octane rating petrol hoping to save a little (may not be worth the efforts if travelling with low mileage). Hypermiling can be more effective instead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panhard 1st Gear March 18, 2011 Share March 18, 2011 was always using spc(95) cos of better discount.... but had to do an urgent fill-up at esso(95) cos tank was very low. after filling, immediately could feel engine quieter & acceleration smoother... can anyone confirm if what I'm feeling is really true ???

Boyboy 1st Gear March 18, 2011 Share March 18, 2011 the one nearest your house gives u best mileage... no need to go out of the way to top up plus 1. I never ever drive out of my way to top up. at least for my current ride. last time diesel got one caltex at jln buroh with special discounts so bor pian... but when i got too busy i gave up and just pump SPC now with my current ride is shell or SPC. seems like shell give slightly better mileage.

Blackslayer 1st Gear March 18, 2011 Share March 18, 2011 was on caltex 95 using safra discount but jump over to esso with my citibank + esso card discount 15%. my mileage gets better too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im on Esso since dunno when n I like it. Started with my bikes n then all my cars. Smoother? Faster? Quieter? Not sure but it gives me good mileage n so far never had any problems related to poor quality petrol. I mostly fill with JB petrol(97) but if need, I top up with 92 SPC) in SG just to get me past the big eyed customs man at the checkpoint. BTW my Optra Estate Auto gets abt 13-14 km/lit which is very good for this car. Since u find Esso better, u might as well use it all the time.

Some engines run better on low octane fuel cos it burns faster n in a low compression engine, u sud feel slightly more power. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
