BEST Unleaded Fuel: Shell, Petron or Caltex

[babkalakal]

Techron is good in my opinion. However in this case techron clean burn maybe just a marketing term invented for that very purpose. I doubt that is the main cause of your mileage discrepancy. It may even be as simple as the calibration difference between the two pumps of caltex and shell.

Using Caltex Platinum for my vios, best fuel i used so far. Consistent ang performance unlike sa iba na may time na ang gaspang ng takbo

Tried caltex platinum today mahal nga lang ng 3pesos sa 91 RON ng petron pero ang ganda ng takbo ni pareng ChaRVis. hindi ko nakitang umangat ng 2k rpm pero ambilis na.

Perhaps he's speaking from his experience when Caltex still operated its refinery in Batangas. That was closed down in 2003. Caltex is now just an importer, though they also buy from other suppliers (mostly Petron). Also, both Petron and Shell have upgraded their refineries to accommodate Euro 4 standards. Many other importers are also present in the market today, and oil companies share products with each other all the time.

I hope not! Ayoko ng Blaze. I prefer RON95 only.

Petron doesn't sell Blaze to Caltex. RON95 lang binibenta nila to Caltex for Platinum.

Ser curious lang, sa Petron palang formulated as Platinum pag binenta ke Caltex? Baka lang kasi XCS na sya tapos lalagyan pa ng Techron, eh kaya pala ganon ads nila...

Pag bumili ang isang oil company sa isa pang oil company, what they get is just the base gasoline without any additives.

For example, Shell buys 95RON gasoline from Petron Bataan Refinery. Kakargahan yung truck ng 92RON pure gasoline plus E10 sa main loading bay. Yung kinarga na 'to is the exact same fuel na kinakarga ni Petron for their own stations. Eto rin yung binibenta nila kay Caltex, Total, Flying V, at lahat ng generic na sinusupplyan nila.

The difference is in the additives - the Shell lorry will go to a second loading bay where they will mix in additives, and voila, that makes it V-Power Nitro+. Likewise, the Petron lorry will go to a different loading bay where it will be mixed with Petron additives and you'll have XCS.

Yung additives wala pang isang timba yung dami niyan, while 20,000-40,000L ang laman ng isang lorry.

Injected. Also inevitably mixed during the journey from depot to site. [emoji4]
