Why are they forcing people to use E10? Taking out the Xtra Unleaded is just a scheme to force people to get E10 or go for the pricier XCS.

Naku patay na..papano na ang Petron Extra Unleaded Challenge? hehehe

IMO, ginagago lang talaga tayo ng mga oil company, kaya I'm not thankful kung binababa nila yun price nila...

before when they were intruducing E10 ang sinasabi nila is for the environment kuno, an alternative for the regulatr unleaded, and it's P2-P3 cheapen then, siguro napansin nila na super dami gumamit, now before pulling out their regular unleaded, eh yun price ng E10 eh dinikit na sa price ng regular unleaded difference na lang ng P.10 -P.20

before nun super taas ng price ng gas pati mga taxi kahit na carburator E10 ang pinapakarga...

kasi kanina nagpagas ako sa petron edsa cubao katabi ng shell... Then ang lagi kong pinapakarga is "EXTRA UNLEADED" nagulat na lang ako nung sabi nung gasoline boy that since monday daw lahat ng petron wala ng 'EXTRA UNLEADED" lahat daw pinalitan na ng "E10 EXTRA UNLEADED".. nagdalawang isip ako magpagas, so todo tanong ako doon sa gasoline boy..

THe only thing na sinabi nya is "parehas lang po ung EXTRA UNLEADED AND E10 EXTRA UNLEADED wala naman daw nabago sa octane or anything the only difference daw is ung E10 is composed of 10% bioethanol which is prescribed my mechanics sa mga fuel injection engine...

Comment about this.. Natatakot kasi ako baka magloko or masira (knock on the wood) in makina ng kotse...

thanks!

You didn't mention what make and model your ride is. I think most car manufacturers have made their cars E10-compatible esp. those models ranging from 2006 above. If you have any doubts, just look at your car manual or call the distributor to confirm.
