    I am also using XCS before, FC is a little bit better. I shifted because I felt that it's more responsive for our AT transmission when I use the vpower nitro.

    I've been using Shell Fuelsave or any 93 octane equivalent sa ibang gas stations and getting 9-10km/l in my altis AT.

    Simula nung nagchange ng RON rating ang shell fuelsave from 93 to 91, napansin ko na parang 7-8km/l na lang fuel consumption ko.

    Nagpakarga ako vpower kahapon. Observe ko muna..

    Hi guys,

    I'm going to Baguio next week. Any recommended preparations for my Altis po (2012 1.6G MT)?

    lots of big potholes along the highway in pangasinan. if you're riding on low profile tires, i suggest you use your stock mags

    Agree w Renzo. Not much to check if your ride is serviced regularly. Check your air pressure and your spare tire as well. Better to run a little more (33-35psi cold). This helps protect the tyre a little more against errant potholes too.

    If youre loaded up, ingat din sa sayad ng nguso at tailpipe.

    I just found out na casa inflated my tires from 30 to 33. Kaya pala it runs better. Pero nakaindicate sa car 30. Can I make it 33 instead? Is it bad for the tires?

    The problem i had with the HSBC/Caltex promo was the lack of coordination and clear guidelines disseminated to Caltex dealers (and to the gas boys or cashier). Several times i was refused at some stations because they did not recognize the charge slip (but the same was accepted at another station, and cleared with HSBC when i called). You also get the second rate feeling treatment when you try to redeem; i guess it doesn't help that i usually used the promo to load up our "old" Sentra. Stressful given there were times i went out of my way just to pass by the Caltex station. There's another reason but i can't recall anymore.

    That's quite okay. I run 35 or 36psi (cold) on mine right now. Hate the soft feeling. At 36-37psi, i already realized some slight km/L gains on my FC.
