From their FAQ it looks like this is something that is already mixed in all the fuel they sell, you don't have to buy this separately.

nag improve nga yung mileage ko when i shifted to shell's regular unleaded. dati kasi vortex silver anng gamit ko.

mga 25kms siguro ang nadagdag sa full tank ko.

[odell]

hmm.. panu pag velocity..? ganun din ba?

[jason7100]

I used velocity, had may car full tanked at shell in south expressway. went to tiaong quezon and back to makati... full tank pa rin yung guage... ewan ko lang kung mas efficient talaga kasi di naman ako gumagamit nun before. ang mahal eh!

[wrcastro_ph]

I'm contineously using a shell velocity even before this "better milage" tag, pero hindi ko ma notice yung better milage na sinasabi nila. parang same pa din para sakin.

[April_Ryan]

velocity now at 24.40, up from 24.10.

alam nyo mga kabayan...
yung mga bagong engines ngayon are designed para sa lower octane fuel (87 rating)

sa mga high-mileage and older engines nirerecommend talaga ang premium.

kayo rin, kung gusto nyo gumastos ng extra. di bale kung hindi traffic eh. ya'll can spend the money on something else.
not unless pati yung gas, nakadepende pa kay daddy or mommy.

basta yung truck ko, hindi makakatikim ng above regular unleaded yan until 100,000 miles na, hehe

[stroker_200]

I've been using Velocity. No improvements sa mileage ko with this 'new' fuels of shell.

[carloi]

Who said newer engines were designed for lower octanes?

Have you read any new car manuals lately? Lahat nakalagay eh 95 octane ang recommended gawa ng mas high compression lahat ng mga bagong makina ngayon.

And no, parang hindi nag improve ang mileage ko with the new shell formulation

[Vegeta]

recommendations ko lang yon to save ya'll some money. marami pwede pagkagastusan, bakit kelangan pati fuel premium pa. oh puhleaze. parang yung pinsan ko na nagpapasikat lagi sa akin, he even brags about getting premium all the time. natatawa lang ako dahil wala sya trabaho (dahil he doesn't wanna work). sa lola lang nya nakadepende everything (food, car, etc). Imagine that, meron syang 3 year-old kid and he is older than my kuya. what a MAN he is.

yun ang sabi sa manual ng truck ko na 5.4 liter V8-->87 octane
even newer japanese cars recommend 87 unless you have a supercharger.

kung ganon pala, baka mahirapan kotse mo where I live dahil 93 ang pinakamataas na octane rating sa gas stations. yung ibang lugar nga eh, 91 pa.

yung mga kotse dun sa 2fast and 2furious na movie. I don't think wala dun ang nagamit ng 95.

may i know kung anong vehicle ito, and isthis city or highway drivin...

also pareho ba ang octane rating ng regular unleaded n vortex silver?

plano ko rin kasi i try. m currently using vortex gold.
thnx

I've tried the reformulated Velocity since it came out around 3 weeks ago. I've noticed minimal improvement in fuel economy figures. Not worth it.

I still maintain my opinion that as long as you stick to the same RON class, use your wallet to decide which brand to use.

yeah, i can't feel the difference too!

[mojako]

same with me, no noticeable difference. I've been using caltex silver before the new shell gasoline.

[pissword]

sir vegetta sabi sa manual ng car ko kahit na 2003 model naman ito, ron 95 dapat yung ikarga eh... so dapat SHell Velocity (95) or Petron Blaze (96) lang ang ikarga, pag hindi, medyo malakas siya mag shake...

1 year din akong gumamit ng reg unleaded until a few weeks ago, nabasa ko dito na 95 ron daw kelangan sa rav4.. kaya ayun hehe

That's just part of their marketing thrust to razzle dazzle us all for the price increases. Shell doesn't even bother to prove that the better milage formula works.

im using this one too. before six days yung full tank ko from makati-las pinas and vice-versa. ngayon, may extra 1/4 gas pa yung tank ko pag dating ng saturday.

siguro, it works well kung yung engine mo is well-conditioned din. kakatune-up lang kasi ng oto ko eh.

Baka din dahil sa tune-up yung better mileage mo, di sa fuel.

kunsabagay pissword, baka iba ng konti mga makina sa Philippines.
kse naman noh, 93 pinakamataas sa amin.
87 is regular unleaded
89 and 91 are super unleaded
93 is premium
siguro kung makakita ako ng 95....sasabihin ko, "oh shiet, the world has gone bonkers!" I might even call it "the world has gone mad" unleaded

well, stick with regular unleaded until tumaas ang mileage ng iyong tsikot.
may rav4 din yung gf ko besides yung ducatti sport bike na ibinangga nya. 87 lang lagi gamit

sa lakas lumamon ng gas ng truck ko, (14 miles per galon or 5.6 km per liter) hindi sya makakatikim ng anything above 87, hehe
people can call me cheap, pero ayos lang. basta may extra money ako pambili ng taco.

summer na naman; they're jacking the prices up again

napansin ko, tumataas yata ng 15mpg ang mileage ko pag bagong oil change or pag binababa ko tailgate ng truck ko sa highway
