So far this is what I feel when I change petrol
SPC 95 CMI, no power at all so make me squeeze more oil
SPC 98 got power, but burn like no tomorrow, esp when idling or kena jam
Esso 5K....Good power, burn slowly
Esso 8K Good power, burn somewhat quicker?? To be confirmed
Caltex sliver: not bad power, good burn rate, not too quick
Caltex Gold and above: no chance to try yet, too exp.
Shell 95, no diff from SPC 98
Shell 98, no diff from Esso 5K but pricier
V-power, dun think will try until they day I drive to Malaysia.
My conclusion....stick to Esso 5K .... :thumbsup:

u r my bro when it comes to petrol ;D im also sticking to esso 5k. Yup, personally tried all sorts of petrol in the beginning also. find that in terms of smoothness, shell and spc is better than esso. esso makes the engine somewhat...raw? or rougher abit, but i feel its got slightly better punch. Anyway, got a 12% corporate discount la, and since im a heavy user of the car, i cant achieve the max discount which SPC gives.

hi bro thks for the advise! so far for me the stock tires are serving me well for my driving style, i think u are right in ur point to driving carefully as that is better than having those very grippy tires on our rides and be over confident that those tires will make us invincible on the road and tailgate other vehicles on the road.....
Ken: yah yah, tailgating is a egoistic bad habit. I think jus overtake if u can will be better.
recently i just meet with a chain collision accident on AYE last month a new merc slk convertable SJB plate and a fiat punto come crashing to my backside after i had stop for about 2 seconds. the slk had those huge expensive looking tires and rims on it yet still can crash into me.
Ken: Ouch man....i feel you bro, but difference was that the fella that banged into me was a subaru R1. Almost exactly the same, stopped for about 1-2 sec, then bang! The SLK probably couldnt handle the power and couldnt brake in time ba?
i pump at 270psi front and 250 psi back after trying out different psi and i find it suits me best as car move off faster and turn in also sharper. the recomended pressure i think is too little for me cos i look at the tires they look like punture to me especially the front 1s. so i think staying alert of the road condition and keeping a safe distance and speed during driving is critical to having a safe and pleasant journey.
Ken: Agree with u on this point, no matter what tires or pressure u use, eyes must be sharp. However, sometimes on the roads, there are pple who suddenly cut into our lanes or do really silly and rash things, in such situations, it will be better to have your braking system more effective lo. i hope u understand that we are jus concerned, not saying you are wrong in pumping so high k? :thumbsup:
As for wear in the center i had not experience it b4 on my kind of tire pressure its always the side wear out first especially the front ones...but not a problem lar just rotate it every 10k or 20k should solve the problem :thumbsup:
Ken: try rotating at 10k will be better. but even so, i know of a bro who used to pump 290kpa. ya, very high...too high...caused uneven wear on his tire. of cos, i wun dare say it will be the same for ur case since yours is 270kpa. Anyway, if u r happy with it, suits your driving style, and does save you petrol, then cheers!
