-

yes, the fuelsave petrol got problem. the new fuelsave does not save ur petrol at all
-
I try one tank of Shell 98, driving is smooth and FC not much different comepare to Esso95. Now on Esso92 + petrol additive.
can try ECU reset (search the forum) to force the ECU adapt to new petrol.
IIRC the adv said you can save 1L of petrol for one whole tank. Say our tank 45L, that's 2.2% saving. Travel 500km then get extra 10km only. Not much advantage to me.

Hmm.. let said you need one tank per week... you will need about 4 tanks per week and about 52 tanks per year
1 tank you save 10km
4 tank you save 40km
52 tanks you save 520km
hmm..the best you get is another free tank to travel another 500km per year. Not much advantage to me too.

its just a gimmick lah. haha
if want to save, take train when visiting town area. save petrol + car park fees. LOL

hmm.. i don't agree we take train will save petrol + car park fees. :glare:
If you take train, the best you can save on petrol only... as you still need to paid car park fees for HDB (unless you living in Condo :thumbsup:). Some more, if ignore the car installment, you still need to paid Roadtax and Insurance for your car. Those is already paid. :D
For me, new Shell fuelsave doesn't save fuel on my latio. So does RON95 and RON92 petrol. :zipped:
-
no diff on any brands i pump leh.. FC still sucks.. :weep:
but i do agree ESSO can last longer than SHELL.. :thumbsup:
-
Shell fuel save for me, is fuel burner faster stronger.
nnb. haha my fc go from 11-12 to 10-11 per tank. Sianz! I think something wrong with e petrol. =D
-
bakoh: that's because you drive too fast. i get 2km/l more than yours. :devil2:
latioboy91: from your statement, i think they put wrongly on the adv. I think they forgot to put the minus sign in front of the 2.2%
-
yup think right foot control does a better job. regular foot 13/l if light foot 15/l. also using esso95
-
hwlee: u sure i drive too fast bo.. looks like u all drive more fierce than me leh.. especially that " red queen of speed"?
-
nymin9: hmm..i don't dare to use RON95 on my latio. All my friend got bad comments on RON95 petrol (although they declare it can save petrol but we believe it will damage your engine's block in time). If you use RON95 (or below) and feel your car "shaking" during idle, your engine is not suitable to use RON95. Case similar like you use normal engine oil or fully sync engine oil. Which one you think better for your car? :zipped:
bakoh: hmm...she is "red queen of crazy" ;D. Just to clarify, i am slow driver. :bleh:

compare to caltex?
What about Malaysia petrol? even poorer quality>?
-
red queen of speed? who?

u confirm their petrol poor quality? because I still see a lot of sin car pump in JB.

Go thailand, their petrol quality is better than Malaysia and Singapore. :devil2:
-

I don't think malaysia's petrol is poor quality. If not wrong, petrol is grade based on RON(Research Octane Rating) not location. Even Shell V-Power got different range of RON in different country (as I know V-Power has grade RON107 in HK but RON95 in the Netherlands).
Based on my survey among my malaysian friends, not much Malaysian will try Esso or Caltex in Malaysia. Shell is best among their choice (but not recently with their new launch of FuelSave petrol) following by Petronas.
Maybe start next year... we might not get cheap petrol from Malaysia. They try to adopt some new RULES to control their petrol price. :crying:

hi...
i encounter that "car "shaking" during idle" issue... TCM reset ECU n do some cleaning... so it is ok now, still monitoring...
i tot itz perfectly ok for latio to usr RON95 without any side effects to the engine?
-
Owner's Manual says Latio can accept min 92RON.
If you car shakes or vibrates during idle even on 95RON, your timing could be off.
I have been using 95RON on my Latio for over 1 yr and don't encounter such problems.

Microsoft also declare the minimum requirement of their Windows XP Professional Product: :devil2:
• 233 MHz minimum required (single or dual processor system);* Intel Pentium/Celeron family, or AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible processor recommended
• 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM
Anyone using Windows XP on that minimum spec and feel happy?? :glare:
Car vibrate during idle, also might cause by broken Engine mounting. :zipped:
Clarence, can share with us your experience using RON95? FC, power & performance...
-
70% I pump Esso95, 30% Malaysia Ron97/98 or Esso92. It is all ok for me. Dun feel much different during idle... At least the road noise is louder than engine noise.
my car is 4+ yrs, even if the petrol don't cause the car to vibrate a bit, other old parts will. So I close one eyes liao. Life is easier.

Good attitude. Life is simple... but close one eyes, will see which old parts is vibrating AB-normal meh? :devil2:
-
I am using Esso5000 since the 1st day i collected my car. No problem at all. :smile:

turn on the lights lor if you can not find things :bleh: then one eyes also can see. :thumbsup:

close left eyes? :confused1:... i think you don't want to see your partner, who sit on the left hand side, more than the dashboard lor :bleh:
normally i won't close one eye and see what thing is vibrating. Use ears to heard and your hand to touch is more accurate.

what if your sports mode always on? close both eyes ah? since its in the middle...

Handsome...you don't know how to turn off the "sport" mode meh... I teach you next time when we meet up lah. :glare:
-
OT liao loh...
you think I drive with one eyes meh.. :D
ok, on Esso92 + $2.95 fuel additive from the station for almost half tank now. FC almost the same as when using Esso 95. Drive wise not draggy at all.

try going a few more tanks. What additive are you using?

jmaybe a little OT, cos its about MY shell fuelsave
just back from Genting for almost a week....pumped the new shell fuelsave97 at MY.
:nonod: :nonod: :nonod:
the car now like ai si ai si and FC increased...
previously when full tank use to be able to hit 130km -140km at the 1st mark...this tank of fuelsave97 only get slightly less than 110km. Some more its pump till almost spill kind of full tank.
-
some station in MY have their "exta formula" in the fuel they sell and some station have their pump "tuned" too for extra profit. Try another station next time.
The Shell station right out side SHELL facility in Port Dickson should be one of the station that provide pure petrol. If you visit PD, try pump there.
-
Hmmm... MY shell doesn't perform well on my car.... FC decreases for me... so now.. i always pump petronas Primax3... works much better than shell on my car...
-
Agree... I start going JB to pump Shell fuelsave 95 every 3 days (3/4 tank full) since 2 weeks ago, the FC also dropped, and the engine like sluggish.. no power at all.. maybe next time try petrolnas..
I used to pump Caltex 92, and i feel it has more power and better FC than the Shell Fuelsave 95!!!
SGP petrol price gettign ridiculous. No choice but to go pump at malaysia every morning around 740am before i head to tuas...
-
Shell petrol got problem since they introduce the FuelSave. Not only RON95 but also RON97 and V-Power.
I used to be regular customer - Shell RON97 (30%) and V-Power (70%). But now I force to switched to Petronas Primax 3 (RON97).
All other types of car (Toyota, Proton, Myvi and etc) than latio also experienced of FC drop and engine not smooth issue when using the Shell FuelSave petrol. Most of my friends (who previously Shell super fan like me) have switch to other brand. I think Shell needs to take some action to win back their customers liao. :D
-
just my own personal experience...
used to be on Esso5000, where I find it gives me the power when I needed, one day fuel running low....then LL go pump shell95 find their 95 seems to be lasting longer than esso5000, observing quieter engine rev but MORE power then esso before they launch their fuel save. In fact I think they started phasing in fuelsave months before official announcement...
All in all I find shell95 now gives better power but lower rev noise, gives abt 40KM more at full tank compared to my previous esso5000. sticking to shell95 now...
If you read back some of my posting...i used to advocate esso5000 as the fuel i preferred, now i am sticking with shell95
-
For me, I have always been using Esso 95.
During the S$1/litre Shell Fuelsave promo, I pumped 38 litres of Shell Fuelsave 98.
I could not detect any increase in power.
Mileage suffered by about 5%.
-
Wait till your tank empty now then try the V-Power... remember to press hard hard your accelerator (if still driving with light right foot, then no different you drive with RON92 or RON95 mah)... then you feel the different on "POWER"..ha.ha... :devil2: Besides, you can flush your "Fuel Injector"... one stone two birds...
but, as i said, the Shell petrol got problem nowaday. :glare:
-
will try the petronas Primax3 next time when i go in :smile:
-
