    Rich, with a hint of oak, a floral bouquet and a slightly nutty flavor.

    so the new diesel is GTL?

    how much per liter?

    P36+?

    hindi pala ganun kalayo presyo nyan sa ordinary diesel

    kala ko GTL diesel would be more expensive than that

    now i wonder if it's really GTL

    or is it GTL na may halo ordinary diesel

    hehe

    if Shell's new diesel is really GTL, then it's superior to Petron's new diesel which is ordinary diesel with additives

    too bad Petron doesnt have a GTL facility

    Shell has one in Malaysia

    probably that's where Pilipinas Shell imports the new diesel from

    Actually asked. No. It's similar but not GTL. According to Dr. Fuels, GTL is hella expensive. I just stated that it has similar cetane.

    What's premium is likely the additives. Still waiting on a Euro-levels response regarding sulfur.

    If it were GTL, I'd be jumping up and down in joy.

    Pretty close, but then, cetane doesn't do anything but make the engine easier to start and quieter when cold.
