    sir djerms

    based on my expirience on our 1zzfe when i filled a 93 ron (caltex silver) from V-power due unavailable ang V-power sa most provinces he i noticed na may loss of small amount of power and acceleration and mas madiin ang tapak sa gas .. FC has decreased too ..

    regarding in choking problem what are the symptoms?

    TIA

    imho, it can run on 93 RON. so the regular unleadeds can do well on that.

    If knocks are not apparent, your engine's computer had adjusted to the gas grade, but don't do it permanently. The ECU won't guarantee 100% success rate. Micro injuries to your engine may accumulate which will eventually surprise you one day.

    As a precaution shift to a 'conservative type driver', avoid hard-aggressive driving, very heavy traffic situation, steep climbs, and overloading.

    Bigay mo na lang kaya sa kin gas mo para wala ka na problema

    ganito pagkakaintindi ko about octanes... The amount of octane in your fuel determines how far the mixture can be compressed before it pre-detonates. Higher the amount of octane the lesser is the risk of pre-detonation due to compression. And that's about it. Higher octane by itself has nothing to do with more energy or more power or better gas mileage.

    so it means that if your car uses a higher octane fuel, the pre-detonation is lesser. so it means, walang carbon residues. dahil ang carbon is a by-product of unburned fuel due to pre-detonation.

    to conclude: if you are maintaining and using a higher octane fuel, your engine will be cleaner, although not directly, because of lesser pre-detonation. and that's about it. yung carbon residues naman can be cleaned by doing italian tune-ups once in a while or via the cleaners na meron sa lahat ng fuel.

    if your car runs on 93 RON, then its fine and leave it the way it is. if it rattles , its a sign of pre-detonation, which tells you to use a higher octane fuel.

    Niky: Thanks again for the info.

    M2 & s_quilicot: I experienced chocking for a very short period lang when I engaged reverse (AT vehicle) backing up from our garage. But one thing's for sure, I really feel that my Altis became sluggish running on 93ron. It was way better running on xcs but I want to try Vpower next time. If it yields better FC, I'll stick with it.

    gaganda lang siguro yung hatak at kung carb type yung auto mo di agad magbabara yung carb mo, so no need to use carb cleaner..

    Sluggish dahil retarded ang timing as a compensating ECU response to prevent pinging.

    Dont put a joke in your million buck car. Teasing you car occasionally is
    enough.

    Instant ba ang adjustment ng ECU once I go back to 95ron? How long before timing goes back to right settings?

    Palagay ko, meron ng 'RAM' yang on-board computer ng kotse mo, so it is as good as instantaneous, but the effects maybe delayed a little.

    Pwede mo rin tanggalin fuse sa ECU for 10 secs to reset it.

    Ang importante is the assurance that you are within specs.
