Need an Advice: Best alternate for Caltex's Silver

**monztermind** · July 30th, 2007 11:07 AM

Hi guys, could you please give me an advice about which is the best counter part for Caltex's Silver Unleaded Gas? My car is used in running with Caltex Silver, but sometimes it so hard to find a Caltex Station, thats why im asking you guys which is the best counterpart for this gas. Is changing to different brand of gas will give a bad effect on my car? Thanks.

get the petron or shell equivalent. from what i read here in the past and personal experience, it doesn't matter that much when changing to different brand of gas. though i personally stick to one brand and don't mix gas except for emergencies, as well as stick to same reliable gas station.

try shell super-unleaded, before I used caltex for my Civic-FD pero parang hindi hiyang ng engine so I shift to Shell until now.

technically, pare pareho naman ang components ng regular unleaded gasoline. nagkakaiba lang sa additives tsaka sa octane rating.

try shell super unleaded or petron unleaded.
but for my personal experience, my car runs better on caltex and shell. sa petron ang lakas ng rattle.

Caltex Silver, Shell extra unleaded and Petron equivalent are all the same. My uncle has a Caltex gas station and he told me that sometimes the big 3 borrow fuel from each other. I was told the same thing by a Total sales rep when our company had an account with them.

93 RON
caltex silver
petron xtra unleaded
shell unleaded

95 RON
caltex gold
petron xcs
shell premium

tried and used them all from shell to petron (civic esi)...di na ako nagpalit simula nag petron xcs. even with the lynx rs...xcs lang kinakarga ko.

petron's low fuel price was just a plus. ;)

actually, they do have different fuels, but because of the volatility of the philippine market, sometimes they understock (because they know fuel would go down next week) or deliveries from refineries/importers are late. what do they do? they call up their "competitor" to ask for extra fuel.
