which 95-96 octane gasoline is better from the "big 4"

[haihuat]

Among the Big 4
Shell V-Power
Petron Blaze
Caltex Gold
Total infinity

in terms of
1.fuel consumption
2.the noise of acceleration(because i heard shell v-power is noisy when accelerating hard but burns good fuel)
3.speed(kasi minsan nanginginig yun steering wheel kapag overspeeding mas ok kung slight lang yun nginig).
4.advantages

iba iba kasi mga additives nila kaya iba iba din yun result/performance(like what i heard mas malinis daw yun total from singapore kasi and it's new).

I'm currently using Shell V-Power for my nissan teana but would like to try Total Infinity or the other 2. is it a good move or stick with V-Power? can i expect less noise accelerating? is total infinity a good oil for v6 engines?

thanks.

In my project car, Shell's V-Power gave me more power on the dyno as compared to Petron.

Sa Altis ko, Petron Blaze gives me the most mileage and power. I guess it will depend from engine to engine. I've tried V-power pero nginig makina. Even sa Caltex gold mas malakas pa rin humatak ang Blaze sakin. I've been using blaze for 1 1/2 years in my 2 yr old car. Yung first 6 months nagtry talaga ako ng iba't ibang gas. Parang CPU lang yan, even identical processors have different OC abilities.

Yup... it really will differ from car to car. Some people swear by Blaze, while some people with 95-only engines work better on Shell V-Power.

The only way to tell what's best for your engine is to try all of them out and pick which one you like best.

Of course, my engine runs smoothest on LPG, though it makes 2-3 hp more on V-power...

On my old gen1 City, Shell Velocity (was not V-Power yet then) was the best for the engine. During my Revo's petrol days, V-Power was good, but so was Petron Xtra Unleaded (93RON). Hirap sa 95 or 96 RON, ang taas ng FC sa wallet!

OT: Looks like Niky's the newest LPG disciple of GH. Meron nang cult following ang LPG!

[Mile2]

OT: mas smooth nga on LPG 99 octane

Petron Blaze has better acceleration and power,

but

Shell V-Power seems to be more stable and consistent.

Caltex Gold sucks

Depends... on a SR20DE engine, Shell's V-Power produces more power based on dyno runs.

Pansin ko mas maganda ang quality ng unleaded gasoline na galing sa local refiners kesa sa mga small players who import refined fuel...

baket?

From this point on, this is just my opinion:

Refined fuels (finished products) are more prone to contamination during handling and transport (from overseas supplier all the way to local importers' storage facility here)

The local refiners import crude oil. So who cares if the crude gets contaminated... the refining process will remove the contamination.

And also, the refined fuel importers blend the unleaded gasoline here (put additives). Wala pa additives ung ini-import nila.

Since small players sila (smaller capital, lower prices vs. the big players, lower margin), mas conscious sila sa cost, nagtitipid din sila sa blending process.
