RPM/Speed Ratio , Recommended Fuel to use

[simpleonin]

Hi guys,

I've been reading/lurking in this forum for quite some time now.

I own a phantom black GLS Tucson 4x2 AT Gas Variant

I would just like to know your RPM/Speed Ratio if you don't mind. This could be a good reference to consider on how we drive our tucs or is there something to check with the engines, oil, etc.

Mine as follows:

2k rpm : 80kph
2.1k rpm : 100kph
2.3k - 2.5k rpm : 140 kph

I'm using Shell Unleaded Gas 93 octane.

I am planning to use Caltex Gold in my next refill because of the 5% rebate by the HSBC. What would you guys suggests?

are these figures normal?

Thanks in advance

I think normal yan. Sa CRDi 1600RPM * 6th gear ang 80KPH.

Ilan ang Octane Rating ng Caltex Gold?

[simpleonin]

hmmm if my memory serves me right its 95 octane.

w/c is best to use?

[Starex_Gold]

Halos pareho lang kasi yan sir. Kapag andito ka sa city, hindi mo mapapansin yung 95 octane kasi madali ma-burn. Mas manghihinayang ka kasi mahal. So okay na rin yung 93 Octane.

Pero pag long trips, pwedeng pwede ang 95 Octane.

So I guess it 95 octane for me.

I'm traveling 40/80 kms per day so it would suit me. Cavite - Alabang/Makati route.

Thanks for the inputs Sir SG.

Oh and btw is it okay to ask here what are the the car care kits you guys recommend to use for our tucson or should we post another thread for that.

TIA

Let's make a separate thread for that sir

ken, there is a difference between 93 octane and 95 octane...

Mas prefer ko 95 octane

When it comes to city driving, walang kwenta ang 95 octane. Nag susunog lang masyado..
