A question on the octanes

(1/4) > >>

nakshire:
From all the threads that I read... (teachers nowadays really eng...)

RON92 - Just nice, our latio can use. More draggy, loss of power over time.

RON95 - Most people are using this. Wonder why... but it seems like people are comfortable with paying slightly little more for better performance of the car.

RON98 - Most people say waste money. Just pump 95 will do.

V-Power - superior petrol. Used once in a while to let the car drink 'chicken essence'... wtf? hmmm, what does it really do?



I've been pumping 92 until the car is super duper slow in acceleration. Press in deep deep still not much power. But I was ok with it, not my dad.

So he went to pump caltex98 the other day and then the car went like "VROOOMMM!!!!", overtaking, accelerating.. and even the smoothness increased tremendously. It feels as if the car wants to surge further up the speedo.

I continued this on the 2nd tank, used 98 and the effect is getting better and better: response, acceleration, smoothness... everything increased.


My question:
how is this different from 95? Since it gives me so much comfort in driving, why are people choosing 95 over 98?

IcyFire:
The answer is balance. How much are you willing to pay for the extra power be it real or perceived?

Looking at the descriptions of fuels, between 95 and 98, do you really see a difference beyond the RON numbers?

I support Caltex also. After my servicing, i had several tanks of Esso/Mobil Ron 95. Clocked between 430 - 440km with 34 litres.

When i switched to Caltex Ron 95, I clocked 480-490km with 34 litres.

No regrets.

hi bro,

is ur mileage on caltex consistent? i wana try.. cos my mileage on esso same as yours. hv u tried esso 98 and caltex 98 as well?

clarence:
Nakshire,

Most people pump 95RON as it gives adequate power withouit compromise on preceived underpower on 92RON.


95RON is 5 cents more expensive than 92RON

BUT

98RON is 10 cents more expensive thgan 98RON

So many may feel it is more "affordable" to splurge a little more on 95RON, although techically, 92RON suffices for Latio.
