Best brand of Gasoline
janjalaniv:
Gud day to all.
I would like to ask an advice regarding gasoline fuels. Next week we will be driving home our new honda civic 1.8. This is our first time on gasoline engines. Our other vehicles are diesels. There are a lot of gasoline types from Shell, Petron, Caltex, Total etc...
What is really the best, economy wise and engine friendly among the gasoline types? ??? :-\

Hello Janjalaniv,
As for the best gasoline station....my family has this rule of thumb: Just go to reputable gas stations when you need to refill. The four gas stations you mentioned are the only ones we go to when we need to gas up. The others? No way because according to my dad those " Uncommon " stations do a little mischief of some sort. Mixing gasoline w/ water w/c we, the drivers, won't know since we don't get to see it.
As for favorites, we go to Petron. Our SM Advantage cards could be used there & the points you earn could be used to purchase any item @ SM. I was able to accummulate 450 points last year & I used up the points to purchase my kids' school supplies! Nice idea diba.

Thanks for the advice doc.
Yes im using the SM advantage card when i purchase diesel at Petron.
What i mean with the gasolines is this: Shell has the unleaded, premium, ferrari fuel and i forgot the one. Pertron has Blaze and i also forgot the other type. Caltex has vortex gold and silver. I mean which among those is really the best and easy on the pocket?
They also say the the unleaded is not good?
Im confused.... :-\

Oh sori about that ;D pasencya na I read your post so quick & replied so quick also.
Anyway basically by law kasi all gasolines are Unleaded. The additives are incorporated to improve the speed of your car, as they claim. Before we used to gas up w/ the Unleaded only kasi it's environmental friendly. Kaso we noticed that the speed of the vehicle seems to slow down also. Yah many say that it affects the speed of the car w/ the Unleaded.One of my dad's friends told us to use the BLAZE. It's high in Octane, has better combustion, makes your engine run better & cleaner. If you want to run faster, you use the Blaze tapos in the long run it's cheaper.
On other opinions, one of my patients told me that using Petron XCS is so far the best for him. He said he used to gas up w/ Shell for the past 20 yrs & it's only 7kms/liter. Now for the past 7yrs,bcoz of using Petron XCS, it's 10kms/liter na.
I am not saying this because I am a stock holder of Petron ;D ha but most of our friends go for Petron. Diesel also good sa Petron mas refined.
Shell is okay also especially with their unleaded.
Hope I was of help w/ you there :)

Thanks again doc... :D
I talked with my friend yesterday and he also recommended the petron blaze. And I can still earn points from my SM advantage card.
