And I'm thinking if the lack of quality additive can be offset by the use of Fuel Injector Cleaner or the bit more expensive Complete Fuel System Cleaner at least once a year or any fuel additives without breaking the bank.

i am of the belief that running the engine occasionaly in the highway at high speed, helps keep the engine clean. the so-called italian tune-up.
but this is assuming, there is nothing wrong with the engine, except "carbon build-up".

if there is something else that's wrong with the engine, no amount of complete fuel system cleaner, can fix it.

my opinion.

No. Magkaibang fuel talaga yan. Ron 88 na pure gasoline yung regular 91 while ron 92 yung usual 95 octane. Then nilalagyan ng ethanol sa depot para umangat yung octane. Then lastly yung additives.

Sa Total din naman bumibili si Clean fuel so same lang.

Ah yan yung bottle for testing ng delivery. Chinecheck lang nila kung may water before ibaba sa underground tank yung buong laman ng lorry.

Gaano katagal ang aantayin for the result? Kung me tubig, void ba delivery?

Meron ako piangpapa kargahan indie from TH daw 5 pesos cheaper sa mga station sa amin, kahit na nung mga panahon na sunod-sunod OPH eh parang hindi nababago o untoi lang tinaas nila. Kaya lang parang me mali everytime na nagpapa karga ako, kaya itinigil ko na.

Balik ko lang yung Q ko na mas ok ba magpakarga sa mga newly opened na station(Big 3) dahil malinis pa yung underground tanker ?

personally, i would avoid the new station, until the plumbing and tank had been cleaned of "imperfections" by multiple fills.
by the same token, i try not to fill up at a gas station that had just received its tanker delivery, to give the "settlements" time to settle down. it's probably not an issue, but as i can afford not to...
but that's just me.

btw, high RON do not equate to higher power, speed, etc. sabi sabi lang yan

what gas engine are you, po?

if the engine was designed for higher octane fuel, then it will function most efficiently using that higher octane fuel.
the computer can detune it a bit, so's it can use lower octane fuel, but i believe its power output will also be decreased a bit.

Itong 5 lang lagi nasusubukan ko.

Petron - XCS swabe hatak, best FC for me
Caltex - sakto lang hatak, ok din FC
Phoenix - average hatak / average FC
Seaoil - pinaka malakas hatak pero worst when it comes to FC
Shell - Kahit 95 octane ko bakit parang ang hina ng hatak, ramdam ko yung ingay ng makina compared sa iba ang lakas din sa FC
