caltex silver for carb engines - ok?

**dod** · April 8th, 2011 09:12 PM

i have a '93 corolla xe. it was submerged last Ondoy. fc was 10-10.5 kpl before Ondoy and it has been at 7.5 - 8 kpl after

. carb was replaced with 5k unit. i have been using shell unleaded (non e10) and fuel consumption has improved to 8.5 kpl. my last fill-up was at shell with e-10 already. recently given a gasoline allowance, but i have to fill-up at caltex (the company has a credit line with them). just wanted to know your experiences with caltex silver for carb engines. thanks.

thats okay. i used caltex silver on a 90 xl corolla and a 1978 lancer. wala naman problema. afaik only blaze does not have ethanol

in my experience using e-10 in my carb engine humina ang hatak and nag-drop ang fuel economy. minsan in heavy traffic namamatay ang engine.

first fc computation since using caltex silver... 8.2kpl =( ... engine is ok, a bit hard maintaining steady idle in the morning =(

Caltex products suck.

Go for Shell Premium, this is what I use on my 1.3L '96 Corolla since E-10 was endorsed & so far there were no problems experienced just yet.

Of course ethanol affects a vehicle's fuel efficiency. It makes it go down by about a liter per KM or so.

fc is typically better kung walang ethanol ang gas.

I used Caltex Gold for my civic lx..8.5km/L in city,13km/L in highway.

Lahat ata ng Shell Unleaded is of the E-10 variety already.

Blaze lang ba walang ethanol? What about Shell's V-Power?

I use premium for my Corolla 93 XE from unleaded. Fuel consumption 12-13 km/liter pag long drive and 8-10 km/liter pag city. Natutupi ang tunog nung nag unleaded ako kaya pinalitan ko ng premium.
