    BTTT

    The reformulated XCS is called so because they replaced their old additive (Valvemaster) with a new one.
    ganito rin kaya sa north america, us and canada? i wonder how minute, 1% 5%? kung masyado maliit, baka hindi rin makaapekto sa pagbaba ng presyo, makaapekto pa sa ride natin. useless law...

    medyo offtopic na tayo. for diesels, 1% lang ang currently mandated. for gasoline, afaik - 5%. for further explanation, kindly see the biodiesel or biofuel thread.

    bttt,

    am not impressed with the new XCS Plus. my fuel consumption dipped to 7.3 km/L for one full tank of it.

    Kung 95 RON - I'm currently using Caltex Gold... mahal masyado ang Velocity. Ok din ang SeaOil G5 (preblended with 10% ethanol na ito).

    Petron XCS plus has an additive coco methyl ester, since here in the Philippines
    there is no supply for ethanol available locally , oil company has to import it from Austarlia or Brazil. Here in the philippines we already have some plant which process coconut oil to methyl alcohol specially down south.

    I tried the new xcs.. works fine naman compare sa Shell E10. The only thing that I don't like with this product is the TV commercial with the three "pinoy" racers.. especially the camera angle nung isang driver. hehehe!

    How come they don't say how much additive they put? Can anyone say here?

    Nag-search ako dun sa BF section pero strangely enough walang info on the specific provisions of the BFL. Nung nag-research ako sa wiki, ang detalye pala ay mandatory 1% bf for diesel upon effectivity (now yun), then 2% a year or two from now. Sa gas naman mandatory 5% in 2 years (that's 2009) and 10% in 4.

    Paki-lipat na lang kung OT sana. Thanks.

    I bought 200 petot worth of the new XCS, almost empty tank. The car runs very sluggish. Siguro kaya okay before kasi may Shell Unleaded pa na kasama. Ayaw ko ng gasolina na to. Basta ang pangit ng takbo.


    OT: hahahaha!!! Syno kaya yun...

    Additives are closely guarded company secrets. You shouldn't confuse that with the mandatory ethanol content in the Biofuel law.

    It is just coincidental that the new additive that they are using are closely derived also from the sources of biofuels.

    As of now, the ethanol component is not mandatory since gasoline companies are still developing local ethanol producing facilities.

    anyway, nakikita kong deception dito ay kung sakaling biofuel ito dapat mas mababa ang presyo nito sa unleaded gasoline (non-ethanol).
    the bio fuel law is inevitable i think. so what kind of modifications should be made to the fuel system sa mga current oto lalo na sa mga efi engines? kailangan pa ba o ok na yun stock setup?

    Boy if this is a preview pag inimplement ang BFL for gasoline, I hope they repeal or revise that law -- or magkakarun ng underground gasolines dito.

    Grabe, bagsak mileage ko sa new XCS. I calculated my mileage on my third fill of the new XCS and I found out my mileage for the past two full tanks was bad compared to the previous type of XCS.

    Any suggestions on another fuel type? Will I go for Caltex Gold with Techron or Petron Blaze? Pangit experience ko sa Shell V-power (Velocity). Ubusin ko lang fill ng new XCS then hanap ako pamalit. Sana ibalik nila yung old XCS.
