    Help po. New driver kasi ako and pinahiram sakin ng tito ko car nya na Toyota XE para mag practice drive before bumili ng car. Hindi ko kasi maintindihan kung ano klase ng gas dapat sa car. Noong nag pa gas kasi kami last week ay premium sinabi ng tito ko but kanina nung kasama ko pinsan ko ay unleaded ang sinabi nya? Ano po ba talaga? gas po ba yon or diesel? Ano mangyayari kapag mali ang nailagay?

    lagay mo diesel he he he (joke lang)
    octane lang naman difference ng premium at unleaded pero pwede mo silang gamitin sa XE ng tito mo.

    kung medyo lumang model yung car ng tito mo premium gamitin mo, kung bago naman unleaded mo na lang, same gas lang yun mas mataas lang octane ng premium kesa sa unleaded. dont use diesel.

    pareho lang po na gas yung unleaded and premium... ang pakakaiba, price and octane rating... well sayang lang yung nilagay na premium kasi nahaluan ng unleaded.

    toyota XE, malamang 90's model na yan, so ok lang kahit unleaded gamitin mo. may ibang cars like subaru and dodge na kailangan ng 95 ron, yun pag nilagyan mo ng unleaded, patay... totope makina. pero for your car, its fine to run unleaded on those.

    Clarification lang, lahat naman na yata ng gasolina ngayon is unleaded. Maybe a very, very small percentage are still leaded especially in remote areas.

    I think when you say "unleaded" you mean "regular" or the cheapest option with the lowest octane rating (typically 93). Usually ang pangalawa has octane rating of 95, then ang pinakamahal has the highest octane rating (96, 97+, etc). The names just vary depending on brand.

    Let's not confuse leaded and unleaded gasolines. It can get confusing for the new driver. The thread that VtEC posted is very informative. Have a look over there

    So when your uncle said premium, that probably meant Shell Premium which is 93 octane, cheapest and similar to what your cousin dubbed as "unleaded"

    93+octane are all consider premium gasolines, unleaded or not. however, there's such a thing as "REGULAR" gasoline which you should also avoid using (madalang naman ito except sa far-flung provinces & barangays).

Pareho lang ba?
