    Dati caltex diesel ako with techron, dun at dun lang pero nung bumaba samin ng 36 plus lang yung caltex from 38 pesos then nagpalagay ako 500, same amount sa dati kong pinapalagay, i noticed na parang mas kumonti pa yung nalagay na fuel sa auto ko kesa sa dati eh nagbaba yung preso ng diesel (isang caltex lang kasi talaga pinagpapakargahan ko ng diesel, isang gas station lang.)

    After that incident, i switched to seaoil bioexceed diesel. So far, talagang tama yung nalalagay na fuel, travelling 38km daily, yung 500 kong krudo tumatagal ng 5-6 days bago ako magpa karga ulit. Napansin ko pang mas naging pino tunog ng innova ko. Nililinis ko yung muffler cutter ko, then observing na dudumi sa mga cabon yung chrome ng muffler cutter every travel, sa nakikita ko konti lang yung itim sa muffler cutter ko, so mas cleaner ang emission. Sobrang thumbs up ako sa seaoil, no to caltex na kahit kelan.

    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.
