Shell, Petron or Caltex? Ano gamit niyo?

Petron, Shell, and Caltex now offer 91 octane unleaded because it's what the government mandated as the minimum octane possible after the phasing out of "regular" gas (octane 83, only found in provincial diesels). Petron however took a different strategy by keeping both 93 and 91 octane fuel grades.

V-Power Nitro+ is 95 RON, and not 93 as said in previous posts. V-Power Nitro+ Racing is 97 RON.
I haven't tried Nitro+ Racing, but between V-Power Nitro+ and XCS, I go with the former now.

I don't see the need for Blaze/Nitro+ Racing since it's not like my crummy 4-cylinder econobox can benefit from it.

Anyone else having issues with Seaoil lately?

For gasoline, its Petron or Unioil for me. Diesel, its Unioil.

I just noticed, a lot of people still rely solely on octane to gauge which fuel is better.

A higher octane number does not necessarily mean better performance or fuel economy. It simply means that it has a higher resistance to knocking (premature combustion). If anything, it's possible that the additives of one fuel is better than another, or that the base fuel used is of better quality, but ultimately, it's not all about octane.

Additionally, I also think that a lot of people fall victim to the placebo effect when comparing fuels. It'd be more convincing if it was a single-blind test, wherein the driver doesn't know what fuel is placed in his car. A bit of a hassle though, but worth a try.

I use Petron Blaze on our innova because its a weekend/coding car. if i use the regular fuel with ethanol, mabilis "mapanis" yung gas since hindi naman madalas magpa gas yung innova namin.

for my diesel ride, unioil parin.

sa vios naman namin, shell/petron unleaded.
