Previously, I had to choose which I gas station I load diesel from, as gas stations that are prone to flooding would mean that gasoline from their tanks could be contaminated.
However, when Petron Turbo Diesel and Shell V-Power came out, I've tried them and although their cost is 2 to 4 pesos more expensive that regular diesel per liter, it's worth it. There's less smoke, it's easier to start up in the morning, and there's more power. Just my 2 cents.
