Ayos lang ba shell fuel save sa atin kahit ang nakalagay sa owner's manual ay octane 93?

"wag makipag-sapalaran!"
use 93 octane or whatever the recommendation is, po. the small savings is not worth it, i believe.

Oh my. I've been using 91 Octane the whole time

Wala namang damage sa engine kung 91 RON ang gagamitin since the computer detects the 91 RON fuel and it will adjust accordingly. Pero since 93 RON ang minimum required, fuel consumption will be negatively affected. Pero kung may knocking, switch to a higher octane rating.

I'm so glad I read this. What's 93 ron in Shell? Vpower?

The manual clearly states RON 91. See page 216 and 489. I don't know where you got 93.





So there's no impact in terms of knocking or fuel consumption. I've had the car for 25,000 km and 91 or 95 doesn't matter when it comes to consumption.

Sana wag nagkakalat ng maling info. Is it so hard to open your manual and verify.

No 93 in Shell. Either FuelSave 91 or V-Power Nitro+ 95.

In any case, I repeat, YOU CAN USE RON 91 ON YOUR ALTIS WITHOUT ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS. [emoji5]

Hahaha. Naalala ko nung college ako I insist on filling up with velocity. My Mom wasn't happy about it

OT...
i remember when we were young and poor-ish...
with help from a timing light, we would rotate the distributor a little, so's we can use the lower octane fuel...
nowadays, without hi tech equipment, there's nothing much we can do to them engines...

V-Power Nitro+ ang full name ng 95 RON fuel ni Shell bro. V-Power Nitro+ Racing naman for 97, and V-Power Nitro+ Diesel for premium diesel.

So V-Power or Nitro+ ok lang, parehong maiintindihan ng pump attendant yan.

Phew. What a relief. I thought I wasn't using the recommended fuel the whole time.

My apologies for not indicating that I was't referring to a particular vehicle, the Altis in this case.
I was referring to any vehicle that requires a particular minimum RON but instead uses a fuel with octane rating below the required minimum.

Sorry about that bro jut, baka namali tingin ko kasi i was referring sa online toyota owners manual corolla thru ssl. Anyway, good to know na octane 91 talaga tayo, will read now ung mismong manual ko sa kotse lol. By the way, kung gagamit ba ng racing/blaze? May effect ba ito sa performance? Regardless consumption [emoji51]

I always tell the attendant "unleaded" grin. Old habits die hard. Pero alam naman nga nila I meant fuelsave

Interesting experience earlier in SCTEX today. I was cruising then a CX5 overtook me. I caught up and overtook him and then went back to cruise. Then when he tried to overtake again at full throttle, I tried downshifting and went full throttle myself as soon as we were side by side. Iwan kaagad as if I were overtaking a 1.3 Vios.

Thinking it was a fluke, I let him catch up again and let him go full throttle first. I was still easily able to catch up and overtake. Then I let it happen again for a 3rd time and same result - the moment I hit 5000 rpm in 4th gear, I gain distance away from him.

The CX5 didnt seem loaded since the rear wasn't drooping. But for some reason it didn't have the straight line acceleration I was expecting.

I'm really curious to have my car Vbox'd. Either the 1ZR-FE is that good, or the CX5 is just too heavy for the 2.0 Skyactiv (though I assumed 160 hp was enough for a CUV).

so, did you really "win", or did he "make you win"?
maybe he was assessing your car's ability...
heh heh.

I wasn't even trying. He was the one itching to overtake.

Sa araw araw ko sa highway, I know which cars are at full throttle and which aren't.

Assumptions lang, maybe the CX5 gearing is more towards loading capability as it is a CUV or he's not straining his engine's RPM but merely cruising along?

That's what I thought, but noone cruises at 180 kph. The way he accelerated from 140-180 kph was obviously full throttle.

Then it's probably the gearing.
