BEST Unleaded Fuel: Shell, Petron or Caltex

Paano ba symptoms kung may halong tubig/madumi yung fuel?

May pinagkaiba rin ba quality ng refined dito at imported?

I use Caltex Gold. Okay naman siya. May station kasi malapit sa house and mura siya. I've tried XCS pero paramg hindi hiyang sa kotse. Haven't tried Shell. Next time siguro pag nag-open na yung malapit samin and if more or less same lang sila ng price nung caltex.

kapag contaminated ang fuel... sisinok o / at mamamatay ang makina.

Iba response. Especially on my Focus S TDCi. It feels more eager especially on overboost, more gusto. Parang may something sa Diesel ng Caltex na parang madali siya ma atomize ng piezo injectors.

Sa gas *Gold naman ganun din, it feels more instantaneuos. Carb or efi. Like sa STi, iba ung feel climbing the rpms, and the torque entry feels more abrupt. Maybe the ecu's ignition timing is more advanced using this fuel, maybe.

Maganda rin response ng engine ng Grand Starex ko sa Diesel ng Caltex. Downsid lang ay ang baho ng exhaust pag Caltex gamit ko kayda Shell VPower Diesel. Hehe

because they can. they have a refinery here. and it's a corporate decision.

Found some few articles that you might find interesting:

Basically, it just reiterates what I've been saying that all base fuels are mostly the same, but nagkakatalo lang sa additives. In fact in the Philippines, sometimes yung binibenta sa independent station is exactly the same as what the branded company sells.
