^ I see. Thanks! So based on that, would you recommend that I shift to Petron XCS or Shell Nitro (both RON 95) even if I'm not experiencing any problems with Shell Fuel Save?

for me, i'll recommend 95 RON because you will have "better or cleaner" fuel and you meet the recommended rating of the gamma engine. and not to mention the 0.50 petot per liter difference between unleaded is not that big (IMO)

FYI, shell nitro is only 93 RON. if you want to use shell go for the vpower which is 97 RON but definitely more expensive.

Pansin ko din kasi, sa mga service ng mga nagmomotor sa amin. daming nagrereklamo sa unleaded talaga, ang pangit daw kahit mapaanong brand gamitin nila.

^ Sir, hindi ba yung Shell Fuel Save ang 93 RON? Or pareho sila ng Nitro? If so, ano po ang difference nila?

Wala bang 95 RON ang Shell? Shell kasi ang madami sa mga lugar na dinadaanan ko eh.

walang 95 RON ang shell. yun premium(shell nitro) nila 93 RON din. sabi sa website ng shell mas maraming "additives" DAW.

check mo sa gas station pag nagpakarga ka, nakalagay din sa nitro - 93 ron.

kaya never ako gumamit ng shell eh, laging Caltex gold or petro XCS lang. yun sa Total, seaoil alam ko 95 RON din. shell lang yata ang naglabas ng premium na 93 lang ang rating.

Baka kasi in the long run lumabas yun knocking eh pag 93 lang ginamit mo. check mo spark plug mo, kung walang carbon ibig sabihin maganda sunog ng unleaded pero kung may carbon at mag amoy gasolina, better switch to 95 RON.

mas maganda na kasing iwasan eh kaysa mahuli na ang lahat hehehe! opinion ko lang naman ha?

[valacirca]

hmmm sige sir thanks for your .02 :D Baka obserbahan ko muna yung reaction nung Rio ko sa Fuel Save... unless may experiences na talaga dito na nakasira ng makina ang 93 RON na gas?

Baka exag naman kasi yung Shell Nitro para sa Rio. Hehe.

I finally got my Rio Hatchback last week. Sa may mga IOS: ipad or iphone, try nyo app na Road Trip to monitor and record your fc manual computation. You could also monitor your average expenses as to P/km. Very helpful.. Pati MMDA App

ODO: 246km
8.4L/100KM (11.90km/L)
2000-3000 rpm
Caltex Gold

Manual computation.
Mixed: tomas Morato w/ medium traffic --> katipunan w/ light traffic --> marcos hway w/ light-medium traffic --> Antipolo proper w/ medium traffic --> junction w/medium Traffic --> Rosario Pasig medium to heavy traffic

So far so good pa naman. Honestly I'm a bit pessimistic when I got my ride bec I was really expecting for a bad fc(after observing all the fc problem threads for 2-3 months here in tsikot and other countries). Siguro hnd pa kasi ako naiipit ng matagal sa heavy traffic. Na tlgang mga 1-2hrs na bumper to bumper. I try to plan my route and check for MMDA traffic updates. Pati I do observe my driving habits.
Hopefully patuloy na sanang gumanda itong fc (keeping my fingers cross kasi it's too early to tell or conclude)Hindi ko alam kung updated version na ba itong hatchback. Pero sabi nga nung CAC engineer na nagcheck kay sir c_cube na updated or latest firmware nmn yung ECU at wala png bago. Iobserve ko pa rin. And post ko mga susunod na fc ko.

congrats composite on your new ride,to get the actual FC try mo manual computation dont rely sa display sa cluster natin its not accurate.full tank ka then use it till you reach 50km or more then full tank uli and compute mo,sana nga may ok na mga rio5 unit ngayon ng maayos na din yun first batch.

nasabi rin ito sa akin nun taga CAC na nagtest nun unit ko. pero hindi niya naman sinabi na ganun ang pagtanggal, basta sabi niya lang wag daw magkabit ng ground sa battery kasi daw may sensor yun na magbibigay DAW ng warning pag malapit na ma-lowbatt ang battery. nakita niya kasi yun sa akin, may nakakabit na ground galing HID. sabi niya ilipat ko nalang daw sa body.

speaking of which, hindi ko pa nalilipat yun sa akin hahaha!

hmmm...is this logically possible? So ibig sabihin, hindi pwedeng maglagay ng grounding kit ang 2012 model kasi magkakaroon ng ibang path ang ground aside from the original one?

This will be great news especially for those who are planning to get the Rio HB..
If you can wait until next year then this will be the best choice since a lot of FC problems has been encountered on the A/T lately..

Nakaka-walang gana i-compute yung fc ko considering ang ave speed ko based sa MID per trip to/from work ay naglalaro sa 6-10kph. Hehehe.

Papakargahan ko to ng Shell Nitro next time tapos from then on, ilalagay ko sa spreadsheet yung stats per trip: Distance travelled, ave speed, fc based on display at kung ano pang pwede. Hehe.
