leo-kun SG what will happened if you used diff types of petrol for your car…sometimes you pump 95 or 98 or V power…will your engine performance drop??
tomsss SG If you use a lower grade of petrol, ie manufacturer says use 95 but you use 92 instead, you might hear some light pinging sounds from the engine. 92 is of course cheaper, but in the long run your milage may be worse than using 95.
leo-kun SG for example you go JB you pay the price of 95/98 in sing but you can get V power in JB so how right
revotune SG i guess using different petrol is like eating different food of the same species. if you compare like eating laksa, then curry mee, mee soto, lotong, prata curry, in 1 shot, how do you feel in your stomach? that is how your engine feel lor...
gUms SG No problem in mixing different type of petrol . ANyway shell 98 is best for singapore roads , v-power is good but mileage is quite bad , finish to fast.
gUms SG jb v-power is de same as singapore 98. cos that octane level is quite low , in malaysia de highest octane level is petronas.

storm_freaky13 SG newspaper reported in the past that the V-Power in Singapore is of an even higher octane as it is a super premium fuel. They didnt specify the octane though. This was reported when the oil prices shot up.
zerocool85 SG erm... its no good to mix petrol.. will cause engine pinging.. especially for modified cars if they use aftermarket ecu/piggybacks. its always good to upgrade.. but never good to downgrade.. so if u use 95.. stick to 95.. can use 98.. but if u use 98.. TRY not to use 95.. but once in awhile.. its ok.. FYI, JB highest octane is not 98.. its 97.. even their v-power.. singapore, our v-power or caltex techron is also 98.. its just that they have added extra fuel additives that combust slightly at a faster rate for better power/cleansing ability. cleaner engine works better... more effecient.. more power.. petrol combust faster rate... more power generated...
AE86tofu SG act the truth is that nowadays cars can even run on 92....cos they have knock sensors on the engine...so once the ECU senses the engine knocking it will adjust its ignition timing to compensate....so u theoratically CAN run 92 but at the cost of FC and power....but 95 is enough liao....unless yr compression ratio is high i dun see the need....
superdelta SG v-power is actually formula98, but with additives they call. FMT. feels more powerful cos it combust better, thus fc drops.
buses_galore SG If you use a grade below the manufacturers reccomended, Engine Knocking might happen.
AE86tofu SG gp read my post abt engine knocking again ....of course this does not apply to old cars....
play_n_play SG since the car salesman told me to use the shell 98, i all the while used it for my two japs cars...
abigor SG Well, I have a Mit Colt and whether I use Vpower/98/95 there isnt much difference. I do feel that using SPC, the fc is ok initially but gets worse if you continue using it. I would occasionally use injection cleaners additives and it does seem slightly better. For those with old cars and does not service it regularly, the fc is much more noticable (with the driving methods mind you). Currently, I'm using the type with Octane boosters and cleaning power at the same time. After monitoring it, the fc is slightly better and there is noticable increased in power when I ramp on my accelerator.
AE86tofu SG what car are u driving? I am also trying 2 eke out mroe mileage from my car.....Fc damn jialat...only 9.7KM/L....tts bad for a 1.3L car
