    Before petron (xcs) ako for more than a year, nang nag-promo ang shell (frequency card & 100 pesos for every 5k worth of gasoline) temporary lumipat ako ng shell (fuel save). But to my surprise, yung usual FC ko na 9-10kpl naging 11-12kpl.

    From December up until now fuel save pa rin gamit ko. Nakakasave na ako ng per every liter, lumiit pa konsumo, may double discount pa every 5k worth ng gasoline.

    (previously, my FC data doesn't favor fuel save of Shell or even Caltex. Stick lang ako dun sa may mga magagandang discount at mga bagong gasoline station, sa ngayon shell muna ako hanggang maganda ang FC. Bottom line, around 6.5pesos per liter ang savings ko! Sa power, no significant effecf.)

    alam nyo mga sir.... napancin ko din yun pag nagpalit ako ng gas station like shell to petron para talagang tumitipid f.c. ko....

    like dati shell ako, then i switch to caltex para talagang tumipid... then from caltex to petron... para din mas tumipid, then petron to UNIOIL euro 4 para din mas tumipid... then one fuel up sa shell by chance, para din mas tumipid.... sabi ko sa sarile ko "parang mas matipid kung mix ko unioil at shell.." he.he.

    i think its more of like a "placebo effect"

    button line pare pareho lang silang lahat...

    EXEMPTION ko lang sa ngayon eh yung UNIOIL euro 4... Ive. been on it for 3-4 weeks already with 2T oil observe ko pa muna mabuti... para talagang mas matipid pero baka placebo like effect nanaman....-

    For me its not placebo effect, because I have recorded every km & liters of fuel consumed to my current car.

    I have my own excel sheet to support my data since year 2011, then supported pa yun ng MID data.

    Sa ngayon, possible explanation na lang sa FC savings ko yung driving habbit maaring naging less aggressive na wala naman akong proof, or may nag-adjust sa makina dahil automatic daw yung fuel system/self timing...(not sure dun sa term na ginamit nung supervisor sa casa regarding/relating sa cam shaft...etc.)
