    just my two cents....:peace:
    Even though the speed limit posted is 100kph, its not unusual to find cars going 120kph and faster, especially on sections of the NLEX where it is straight and with little traffic on the road.

    I am just trying NOT to be a hypocrite since I just came from Baguio over the weekend and I reached a peak of 150kph on certain sections and was cruising at 125kph for other stretches. I wasn't racing anyone nor was I trying to test the top speed of a LPG powered Corolla (just for the record, I've reached 168kph).

    that's beside the point.

    the important thing here is that the car can't seem to reach the specified maximum speed anymore. and that implies a potentially serious problem.

    I hope that the threadstarter's objective is just to check and test if his car has some problems other than that I cannot see the point of reaching 140kph in NLEX.

    Thanks for the helpful replies! sparkplug lang ang culprit. Also the mechanic told me to use different gasoline and not the one here at inside Clark.

    Thanks Sir ghosthunter and Al_Librero. Well, point ko lang talaga is dati I can reach that speed of 180kph but tried it last time di na ko umabot even I fully depressed the pedal which I think may problem somewhere talaga. Alam ko naman speed limit eh and am fully aware of that but as ghosthunter have said di rin ako HYPOCRITE na lumalampas sa speedlimit nagagawa ko ito dahil smooth yung road, long and wide, and few motorists and of course i do it with caution. Peace!

    Well, ok na rin yung oto thanks tsikot for the helpful tips!

    OT: nung madalas ako dyan sa mabalacat/angeles area, nagkakarga din ako dyan sa clark ng gas, mura kasi, wala naman ako naeencounter na problem. puro premium pinalalagay ko.

    anyway, hope you solve your problem.

    super OT and i just cant help but react.. sori but frochie1 you dont need to hope or speculate because by reading the implications of romtrt's post its OBVIOUS naman that he is inquiring or asking help about a car problem..no need to be malicious about it.if you cant give him sugestions on how to fix his car,..then i guess you know what to do.

    some people can drive better at 200kph than other can at 90kph. if you can drive that fast you better know how to control the car.
