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.

afaik Petron's Blaze is the highest rated at 96

Blaze has the highest RON so far among competing premium fuels here afaik.

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.

Sa 1.6 - 2.0 Japanese namin ay noticeable diff noon nung Blaze sa Velocity. In my E34, wala noticeable.

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.
