i think all the oct98 fuel sama sama, good quality, performance wise is your mind @ work.

What kinda petrol u all using? My friend call me to use ESSO or Mobile Petrol better as it makes ur bike performances better... is it true?

Now i'm using the Shell's Fusion 98 , then once a while V Power.

Is it good if we change the petrol frequently? For eg today use Shell, tomorrow use Esso then after that use Mobile

I thought Fusion's octane is 95? Question

Adam&Eve SG

got Fusion 98 mah

No_regret SG

Petrol of different company about the same 1 la. Just the octane level nia. Higher octane burn faster, therefore power come faster.

???

isn't octane levels just supposed to prevent detonation? how does it burn faster?

WhitePhantom SG

Mr. Green

i can save more than $10 compared to pumping Vpower a month

SO do u think its better that we ride until have to use reserve then change the petrol brand (eg BP to Esso)?
or no need to wait until empty can just mix petrol...
altho im using BP somehting 95 or 98 ( i also dont know lah)

too many type ask the petrol station sttendant they also dont know lah

WhitePhantom SG

its better to leave as least as possible the previous petrol then pump new one....
for ur new bike, keep to the higher octane level as possible
Recommended: Mobil/Esso SYN8000

don't think so. octane levels became important after leaded petrol got phased out. i don't know the chemical structure of a typical octane additive, but i do know that its purpose is to prevent detonation, or "knocking" or pre-ignition, to prevent engine damage (imagine your air/fuel mix igniting before the piston reaches TDC). high compression-ratio engines typically demand high-octane fuels... rate of burn really depends on your engine design and your jettings, and spark plug efficiency.

power comes from additives, not octane. can you find that article again?
