    Sa kanya din namin nakuha yung Mirage G4 namin. Mabait kausap at honest din. Naka kuha pa ako ng free rain visor aside dun sa mga regular freebies.

    No reason to use it if you don't have a high compression or turbocharged engine.

    Stick to FuelSave.

    Sir niky correct me if im wrong, ito ba yung 91 octane level ng shell with 10% ethanol? Base on my experience na try ko ilagay sa mirage 91 octane rating ( caltex )hindi maganda ang takbo ng engine medyo sluggish but nag switch ako sa 95 octane ( gold ) medyo gumanda ang takbo at less noise sa engine. Question, Is it worth paying high octane rating sa engine ng mirage? How about using ethanol combine with premium gasoline? Is it compatible sa engine ng mirage?TIA

    Our Mirage uses Fuelsave most the time. Sometime when I feel generous I fill it up with Nitro+ or Caltex Gold to clean the fuel system.

    91 RON is actually 88 RON base fuel with ethanol (increases RON).

    95 RON is actually 92 RON base fuel with ethanol.

    However, when you read in your manual that the car needs 91 RON, it doesn't matter if it's pure 91 RON or if it's 88 RON enhanced with ethanol.

    Actually matters if you leave the gasoline in the tank too long. While gasoline naturally goes bad... the easy evaporation of ethanol means it loses its efficiency as an octane booster much faster. If you don't drive a lot, it is sometimes a good idea to go for a higher octane fuel or even go for Blaze (no ethanol)

    ^^^ Or you can fill up with just a week's worth of lower octane fuel.

    91 is the minimum required, considering what is available in the market (ethanol mix) & the scruples of other entrepreneurs (selling below rated gasoline)

    We are better off with octane rating higher than the minimum recommended.

    A 95 octane dissipated value could be pegged at 92 octane which still meets the minimum requirement while a 91 dissipating at 88 is below minimum required

    hi guys

    I am gonna inspect this coming a weekend a repo Mirage GLX CVT model. There is limited info on the net like it has clocked in a 19km already so I need to check it onsite. What are the things to check?

    Hi! Is it normal na medyo maingay ang engine ng glx cvt model? Is it because of the cvt transmission? I find it noisier compared to other gas fed cars even to old models.

    Three cylinder engine. Naturally noisier than a four-cylinder due to the warbling idle.

    Also, the Mirage has no muffler, just a mid-pipe resonator.

    Also, the Mirage, to save weight, has no muffler. Just a mid-pipe resonator.

    Good luck explaining that to the LTO.

    Nicky, might be part of cost cutting of the manufacturer? Kaya pala malakas vibration ng tail pipe.

    Nope. Weight cutting. There's a reason the Mirage is only around 800 kilograms. They simply didn't put in things they didn't need, like an engine under-brace, extra engine mounts (Just two mounts. The third support is a torque bar connected to the front suspension subframe), a steel assembly in front of the engine (chassis ends at the wheel wells. Everything ahead of the engine is plastic) and etcetera.

    Given that... the Mirage is still a five star car on the NCAP (when equipped with stability control), which means that Mitsubishi spent good money on making the frame very rigid.
