^Many are fooled thinking that 91ron is cheaper, it actually gives you less distance coverage so when computed in terms of peso per km, it turns out to be more expensive than 95ron

I have empirical data showing that my cars' consumption is the same whether I use 91 or 95. I've been tracking my fuel data for over 5 years across different cars.

For most cars, traffic conditions, driving style, and route play a bigger factor in your fuel consumption than fuel octane.

Relying on peso/km will not yield conclusive result since price varies every week, per gas station.

For my Altis, I get 10 km/L (mixed driving) on both 91 and 95. The average price difference between 91 and 95 is about 1.50/L. So I save 15 cents per km on 91 compared to 95.

br, jut is simply saying going to 95 will be costly. this chevy sail with its higher ron requirement is a no go.. especially with the new vios.

Any updates, have you verified if 95 RON is the minimum requirement for the Sail? In China it's ≥ 92 RON.

I just noticed that in China the Toyota Yaris with dual VVTi has a 92 RON warning stuck on the fuel filler door. I think we need to check what's written on the local variants.

for sub 900,000

95 ron and 14 steelies for 868,000 pesos for a shanghai car, its overpriced with unknown reliability! even its top variant doesnt have stability control. 0 star latin Ancap rating!

new vios has 7 airbags, stability control. and a toyota bulletproof reliability. 5star ancap rating. 878,000 is a bargain

The P868K 1.5 LT A/T's wheels might look like econo car wheel covers but those are actually alloy wheels. :D
