Lahat ng gas natin dito unleaded. Unleaded means the gas is not leaded, so premium, blaze, xcs, vpower etc. Is unleaded

rusty_ryan, tama si renzo_d10 na lahat ng gasoline sa pinas ay unleaded na since na approve yung clean air act noong 2002. Lahat ng oil companies complied to that.
Ngayon, yung sinasabing premium ng SA mo ay gumamit ka daw ng high octane gas. Check you manual kung anung recommended octane ng 1.2 M/T. Ang gamma engine kasi octane-responsive engines.
Ako kasi 95 RON gamit ko.

Sa gasoline stations, usually may sticker 95+, ibig sabihin ng (+) ay 95-96 RON yun. Caltex Gold, Petron XCS yung may 95+ RON.

Just an fyi, may mandate na ngayon ang ating gov to make all gasoline 95 RON. Wala pang date kung kelan ang deadline but Gasoline stations will definitely comply. Tapos isa pang mandate is to make gasoline Euro 4 grade, ibang sabihin papapababain ang mga elements na nakakalason ng hangin natin. Sabi ng Shell at Petron, 2016 pa daw mangyayari iyon sa mga planta nila. As of now, sa diesel pa lang may Euro 4 grade like Unioil.

Thank you sa mga response. new owner of Kia Rio lang kasi. Accent at Rio kasi pinagpipilian ko dati, madami kasi issues ung accent kaya ung rio napili ko.

What i meant to ask sana kung ang mga kappa engines ba ay octane-responsive din gaya ng gamma engines? I visited kia picanto thread din and may mga gumagamit ng 95 RON(xcs,gold...) and 93 RON(xtra unleaded, fuelsave...) On the manual nakalagay 91 RON or higher.

Just wanna know the performance of the car when you put ung mga xtra unleaded or fuelsave. Right now kasi im using xcs, medyo ok naman FC and ung engine response. syempre mas mura kasi ung mga fuelsave

Aking kasi Rio HB / AT. First time ko nag try ng Petron Extra Unleaded, parati ako naka apak sa gas at medyo hindi ko gusto yung hatak.
Nag try din ako ng Fuel Save, maganda yung engine response pero, kailangan ko rin umapag sa gas.

Ikaw, try mo for yourself at look for the feel you want. Kasi tayong mga drivers, may ibat ibang feel andar.

Kung cost savings lang naman, few centavos lang naman ang difference with regular and premium so parang hindi mo rin ramdam. For example, sa amin ngayon sa Petron, extra unleaded is 48 pesos, XCS is 48.10 pesos. 10 centavo is not that costly. And if you will compare the quality, sa XCS na ako kasi may mga additives na kasama yun to enchance your engine).

Marihap talagang maka mura sa gas, lalo na pag na traffic ka. Unless bumaba pa lalo yung gas.

Kumusta FC niyo sir?

As per sa trip computer,
11-12 km/l city driving
18 km/l highway 80-100 kph
Mga 9 km/l heavy traffic.

Im using petron xcs, di ko pa lang na try ung xtra unleaded.
Nung nag manual compute pala ko, mga 10-11 km/l ung lumabas.
So far ok naman, medyo pareho lumalabas sa vios namin.

Ganda talaga ng rio hb, parang nababaliwala yung mga comments nyo about poor fc pag nakakakita ako......

**dwhitekiss** · November 12th, 2012 01:32 PM

May nakapagtry na ba ng alin man sa mga gas brands na ito?

Unioil - Quantum
PTT -Performa 95+ (E10) Premium Gasoline
Total - Protec

sir tanong ko lng ulit, ung unit nyo po is ung 1.2 slx? ano po ung pinagkaiba sa 1.4 ex?

**rusty_ryan** · November 14th, 2012 12:01 AM

1.2 lx po ung akin. Base model lang kaya wala masyado features.
Power front windows only, 1-din hu, hubcap rims, no abs, no airbags, 2 colors only(white and silver), no central locking(nagpalagay lang ako nito kaya meron na ngayon).

Alam ko ung slx naka-mags na, central locking and driver side airbag.
