Deckbuild 6th Gear August 23, 2015 Share August 23, 2015 Guys just sharing here that CBS news in the U.S. Said that premium is not required But I can still provide reasons to still pump v power on my regular car. 1) more points 2) feels cool 3) feels better for my car 4) less visits to the petrol station using full tan v power What do you think? I feel awesome when I pump 32liter of RON92 and manage to squeeze over 800km out of it =) ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinceng Turbocharged August 23, 2015 Share August 23, 2015 (edited) In most other countries, petrol is classified as : 1) 92RON - Regular 2) 95RON - Premium 3) 98RON - Ultra Premium By right, most Jap, Korean and Asian make cars in Singapore should be pumping 92RON. Min RON is 91RON for most of such cars. 95RON is sufficient for majority of Eurpoean makes. 98RON is for those driving normal cars with too much money to splash, or those driving exotic cars. prob that's why Deputy Prime Minister Tharman taxed 98RON petrol an additional 35% (additional 20 cents per litre) compared to 92RON & 98RON (additional 15 cents per litre).

flashbang Turbocharged August 23, 2015 Share August 23, 2015 I think it's just marketing. Pump the petrol that's recommended by your car manual as it's written by the manufacturers. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baal Supersonic August 23, 2015 Share August 23, 2015 Iirc, for kotax, 92 is regular, 95 is premium, 98 is platinum. As per label above the pump holder. Not sure bout the rest. Ya, one mcf guy ever said that that even w modern diesels..eu5..the measurement is based on co2 primarily. However in terms of reducing the carcinogenic stuff in the diesel exhaust, the in-roads pale compared to the reduction of co2. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tireburner 3rd Gear August 24, 2015 Share August 24, 2015 Not sure, but so far already 5 years of topping I did not encounter. Got once they stop every car to look into our car but they did not stop Maybe the Cisco office mistook your temperature gauge as your fuel gauge at middle when your fuel gauge was actually nearly empty...hehe. Before the increase petrol duty of 15 cents for RON 95, the lowest pump price I ever paid early this year was at S$1.77. That was when Brent was at US$46. But with Brent below US$45 now, current pump at S$2.09 doesn't add up. Minus the 15 cents increase, it would have been S$1.94 which is way more expensive than before they increased the petrol duty. They should not have increased this duty, it only results in higher pump price which doesn't correspond to the increase in crude oil price. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
