    Shifted from 93 ron (shell unleaded) to 95 ron (v-power). Got better fuel mileage! (before I used to have 12km/L on highway driving, now Im back to 14km/L ). Better acceleration and performance!

    My ride by the way is 3zzfe.

    OT. my ride behaves almost the same with shell's premium gas. Is it ok to use this type? Unleaded na rin ba ito? Sino sa inyo ang may catalytic converter who uses shell's premium gas? No problems encountered?

    Have emailed Shell on this, no response.. hehehehe

    14KM/L? whoa .. kainggit .. ako nasa 8km/L lang .. 1zzfe thoug with K&N open type and bosch super 4 tip .. nasa driving style kaya?

    sir howard i think catalytic converter is standard na sa lahat ng automobile since year 2000 ata .. ( not sure sa year) i think ito yung mesh look a-like sa exhaust pipe na made out of platinum metal .. shell premium gas? e10 ba?

    SQ: No problem as long as your vehicle is stock. I frequently rev mine 6k rpm. Minsan kasi nakakabato i drive talaga altis. Pedal to the metal ako para magising paminsan minsan, when road is clear.

    I think its healthy din for the engine.

    shell premium, yung red, 93 ron yata yun. same rating with unleaded.

    My car's FC was improved also when I used this gas once. Though medyo kinabahan ako baka kasi makasira ito ng makina at catalytic converter since I am not quite sure if this gas still got lead in it.

    My engine's performance (hatak and response) is almost same with V-power gasoline when I used premium gas. Mas mura pa ng almost 2 petot sa V power.

    Any inputs on this tsips?

    They're all unleaded. It's illegal to sell leaded gasoline now.

    If your car doesn't run rough on the gas, by all means, use it! ;) I'd love to use lower octane gas, if my car would take it... but it just doesn't like anything but V-Power in its current state of tune. It'll run better on 92 or 93 octane, though, than Blaze... for some odd reason, but it runs best on V-Power.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    ako rin eversince v-power gamit ko then kailan lang nagtry ako ng super premium wala naman akong napansin na kakaiba like humina ang hatak or nagiba idling. siguro i'll stick to super premium na lang lalo ngayon halos kasing presyo na sya ng v-power dati. hehehe...

    Was about to load up with Vpower but I found it expensive. I switched back to xcs which is 1 peso cheaper. My altis runs great again. Happy with the fuel.

    Thanks a lot for all the help!

From 93 octane back to 95 ron
