    Yes it's really 98 RON. Hindi naman pwedeng hindi, the DOE tests that.

    But as I've said time and time again, it's not about the RON but the base fuel and its additives. Most oil companies have similar base fuel (sometimes they even buy from each other). However, I haven't heard anyone transacting with Phoenix for fuel borrowing. Probably says something about their fuel quality, but this is just speculation.

    Then there's the additives. God knows what R&D Phoenix has. But if you're concerned about price, then go ahead. Even if Phoenix turns out to be sub-par compared to other brands, it's still not far behind. Gasoline is gasoline and they're all the same 99% of the time. All the differentiation that each brand's marketing arm just falls in the small 1% difference in additives and minor base fuel differences.

    Blaze, dahil walang ethanol.

    Although resistant sa effects ng ethanol ang modern fuel systems,
    kung kaya pang iwasan, iiwasan. Mas okay sa over-all health ng car:

    Gasoline Expiration - Ethanol Blend Fuels Have a Short Shelf Life

    Mga ~2 pesos difference sa V-Power Racing, hindi nga lang sulit ang ~2% gain sa mileage:

    Gasoline gallon equivalent - Wikipedia

    Pati beater cars namin na 2000 Corolla (166K KMs) at 2000 Civic (160K KMs) heto ang gamit,
    hindi naman nagkaka-problem sa injectors, regular din palit ng fuel filters.
