    Is it true that all gasoline (Premium, Super Premium, Silver, Gold, V-Power, etc) sold in Petron, Shell and Caltex are unleaded? If so, why would Petron and Shell indicate Unleaded Gas, when their other gas products are also unleaded, although with different RON? Apparently, their names are misleading, right? If there are still gas that are leaded, what are examples of these kind, para ma-iwasan ko, since my manual says that I should use only unleaded gas. Thanks in advance...

    mas mataas kasi octane rating ng ibang gas ( like V-Power ). pero tama. unleaded nga sya. sa shell yung premium nila leaded pa po iyon.

    Thanks. What are the advantages if I will have higher octane rating gas like V-Power? Will its cost compensate sa advantages nya?

    sa city driving (trapik) hindi. sayang lang. pero sa highway ramdam mo tipid sir. konting tapak lang sa gas ramdam mo na di hirap makina. since di hirap makina, nakakatipid ka.

    I think selling and using leaded gas have already been prohibited due to Clean Air Act.

    Just use the minimum RON recommended for your car unless you wish to burn more money too.

    I'm just curious, why would gas stations like Petron and Caltex name some of their fuel "unleaded" if their other fuel they are selling is also unleaded. In other words, the label is practically misleading, right? This is just my opinion. Thanks for your replies...

Unleaded Fuel???
