    They may have the same RON as posted, but I have to say there's a noticeable difference between V and Techron. I tried the latter and it seems that the fuel gauge goes down more quickly. V, like Velocity, still feels light in acceleration, perhaps the best combusting fuel in the country. Blaze has a higher advertised RON, but I don't feel it. In fact, it seems to be a bit inferior to Shell's best, although Xtra and XCS are nice, cheaper alternatives to V-Power.

    So among the premium fuels, which one has the highest RON rating? My car manual says that 95 RON is ok but 98 RON is preferred.

    Isn't SeaOil the one with the highest octane? However, I can't be sure if it's better than what the bigger players have.

    Bakit nga ba medyo premium pricing magbenta ang Shell? Yung 95 octane nila (V-Power / velocity), usually presyong 96 octane na, ala Blaze. Yung isang 93 octane naman nila (Shell Super Premium) presyong 95 octane na, ala Caltex Gold at Petron XCS.

    Before... when they were selling their G5 Extreme E10 blend (97 RON) - that's because ethanol increases the octane level of gasoline. Even their regular unleaded E10 is rated at 95 RON (this was what I was using before).

    Now they are just back to selling their regular G5 Extreme (without Ethanol) and is now marked as 95 RON.

    been using vpower for about two weeks na. pansin ko lang, mas mabilis siya maubos kesa sa velocity (what i have been using). actually, mabilis din maubos sa akin ang velocity. non-aggressive naman driving style ko. walang harurot masyado and walang quick acceleration and stops. pero mas mabilis talaga ang vpower.

    been thinking of going back to regular unleaded. yun parang matagal maubos.

    btw, ano na ba current prices ng regular unleaded and premium unleaded sa shell? vpower is at P44.50 last time i checked.

    Kanina kita ko its Php 45 na. Days palang ang pagtest ko dito pero Php500 na ang two days ko, 120 km estimate. Kailangan ko muna mag fulltank test before ko makuha ang totoo kong consumption.

    Totoo na mas responsive ang V-Power. Di ako nahihirapan mag-higear pag inclines ako at pag gusto ko tumakbo ng mabagal na naka second gear ako. Yun palang ang napapansin ko. Ang interesado ko ang cleaning and lubrication nito per their claim.

    yep, nagpakarga ako kanina. P45 na nga.

    halos pareho lang tayo. yung P500 ko lasts 2 days. around 125kms. may natitirang konti, enough para makaabot ako ulit sa gas station hehe

    hatak? parang mas maganda hatak ng velocity for me. stable on low and high speeds. sa vpower, the "hatak" "might" be too much. kaya di ko alam how much tapak sa gas. pag nasa 1st and 2nd gear (on stop/go traffic). minsan too much gas, minsan too little. pero once nasa 3rd to 5th gear and moving traffic, ok naman na harurot.

    pero mas mabilis talaga maubos (might be because of wrong pressure on the gas pedal, see above). P500 on velocity lasts 2 and a half days sa akin.

    regular unleaded pala is at P43. di ko napansin yung premium unleaded.

    Both. Lahat ng fuel natin ngayon ay unleaded na. Sa RON lang nagkakaiba. In terms of RON, Premium ang XCS, Regular ang Extra Unleaded, at Super Premium ang Blaze.

    Afaik V-Power is 100-102 octane in Germany.
    THE recommended fuel for Ruf Automobiles.

    EU countries also get V-Power diesel.

    AFAIK, wala na. Unless may kilala kang smuggler or something.
