Gasoline: What would i use?

[ryel]

greetings! i was just confused in the different types of gasoline in the market.... velocity, blaze, gold, silver, super unleaded, unleaded, etc....

i'm new in the road bought a 2nd hand car and i don't know which type or brand of gasoline would i use...

Is it ok to try all of them to a car? can they affect the performance?

[ssaloon]

96 RON:
Petron Blaze

95 RON:
Petron XCS Plus
Shell Velocity
Caltex Gold
Total Infinity

93 RON:
Petron Extra Unleaded
Shell Unleaded
Caltex Silver

ok lang to try different brands, pero baka may effect sa performance when changing with different octane ratings.

try using the search function. there have been several threads in the past regarding this topic.

What car do you have? You can check with the owners manual on what is the minimum recommended octane of the car (usually 93 but some manufacturers require 95). As long as the car is maintained (tuned-up, all filters and fluids changed and clean, etc) then you should have no problems.

Try to stick to one brand and even to the same gas station if possible once you've chosen your fuel of choice. Try different brands and octane ratings until you find one that you feel works best with your ride (good start-up, engine response, fuel economy, etc.)...

i bought a honda city 2000 model and based on manual, a minimum of 91 octane. i currently use a 95 RON gasoline... can i shift or try an unleaded gasoline(93 RON)? can this effect the engine performance?

how long will it take to find out if the gasoline performs best?

City 2000 LXi? my wife drives one of those... she usually gets good results using Shell Unleaded.

have tried loading it with Petro unleaded, pero parang sumisipa.

and please take note...all gasolines available here locally are of the "unleaded" variants. iba-iba lang RON and octane rating nyan. kung baga sa hamburger, may hamburger with cheese, hamburger with bacon tsaka plain hamburger lang.

my advise for you is to try using the lowest version first (yung mga regular unleadeds like shell, petron, caltex and total),tapos kung di mo gusto response, try mo yung next level like shell super, petron (forgot the variant). tapos kung di mo pa rin trip, go for the most expensive ones (like velocity, XCS gold, etc...)

Sa Shell Unleaded, parang bitin ng konti ang hatak at mukhang mas mabilis maubos ang gas. Nung bago ang Velocity, tinry namin at napansin naming mas magaan ang hatak at mas matipid. Palagay ko mas maganda ang combustion dahil higher quality fuel.

depends on the engine.. take for example the toyote revo gas engines.. sa 2.0L 1RZ-E 90ron ang minimum rating, while the older 1.8L 7K-E is 95ron.. so dun sa 1RZ-E pwede ako gumamit ng 93ron, dun sa 7K-E 95ron lang pataas..

Stick with what the manual says.

ask what the previous owner was using. kase what i heard, if you use a high octane fuel on your car e.g blaze with 96+ RON...eh you cant go back to using lesser fuels like extra unleaded and the like.
