    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.

    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.

    Caltex operations in the country to be acquired by japanese giant eneos

    https://www.autoindustriya.com/auto-...-by-eneos.html

    Interesting insight from the eneos deal:

    "While petroleum demand in Japan continues to decline, demand in Southeast Asia is expected to grow."

    Honestly, if charging facilites are available at home (in our case, sana pwede tayo mag-install ng charger sa mga condo parking lots) it doesn't make sense to buy a ICE vehicle

    2 weeks na ako nag travel dito sa Europe and I haven't seen a gas station

    Lol philippines pa. Dapat mauna munang matanggal ang mga lulumaing pujs if truly serious talaga sila sa pag-push ng mga evs sa bansa. Until now, sobrang kalat parin sa mga kalye eh. Mabuti pa nga ang vietnam na palaban.

    political suicide, in my opinion.

    Good grief Doc! Then we'd have a dictatorship again. Mabuti sana kung kagaya ni Lee Kwan Yew...


    The problem here in this country nga lang, is just like what Galadriel said in the prologue to the Lord of the Rings:
    "And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of men, who above all else... DESIRE POWER"

    The hearts of men are so easily corrupted. That's why in the Lord of the Rings, the nine kings who accepted the rings of power turned into nazgul (wraiths). Servants of the Dark Lord.

    Resulta to sa latest availability ng Lord of the Rings trilogy sa Netflix.
    Available na ulit for us to watch.
