hi guys. I'm a hardcore shell v-power user. somehow when the price rocketing, i started changing to ron 95(botu one month ago). first shell, sorry to say but it is not good enough. then came caltex 95. what i can say in terms of mileage is quite okay but power,  a definite no. pijak pedal minyak x rs ape pn. then  i tried Petronas ron 95( for the first time since bought my car, 4-5 months before). all i can say the new petronas ron 95 is damn awesome to me la. can feel similar effect to shell v-power 97 although not as good of course. in terms of milage, i manage to clock on highway 75 to 80 km per bar instead of 65-70 for caltex 95. mind you all i 'm driving saga blm 1.6 and driving at 90-100km on average speed la.

ps: to those who like to bash petronas, try first bros/sis. try 2-3 times then only judge. fyi your ecu oso adapting to the new oil when you change the type of ron you use(according to one mechanic la). give it a go.

PEACE OUT.

its just a challenge by petronas to intro their new fuel, but if not mistaken over liao...5:30 till 8:30 pm only for today. they have another two more amounts like 50.95 and 70.95. One get pen the other get air freshener or something like that..yes must be exact 30.95 if not u will not get anything.

Its depends on car actually..Previously I pump Shell V-Power97 for quite long time..then I change to RON95..Recently tried RON95..and I never go back to Shell..lol.. icon_rolleyes.gif
Try BHP, Esso, Shell, Petronas and Caltex..in the end still stick to Caltex wink.gif

for saga blm...very easy to know
just hear the engine....when i change to shell RON95...it was damn noisy the engine
when i change to esso RON95...it was slighly quieter...more power indeed
later when empty tank..will go try this...see how it affects the engine...noisier or quieter..lol
and i can clearly hear that my car is very quiet when using RON97...so will try it out and see how it performs

Didn't know is true or not, Petronas never sponsor petrol in F1 but engine oil yes, since BMW team.. Petronas just sign deal to supply & develop/research petrol, hydraulic, break oil with MercedesGP yesterday.... So how sure we are Premax95 extra develop from F1.....

haih whatever it is, still spend so much on petrol idling away in traffic jams, only can take solace the engine is smoother etc but actually does nothing for day to day life

It will expire if the card is not used on a qualifying purchase within a year.

QUOTE
Q: When will my Smiles Points expire?

A: Your Smiles Points will never expire* if you make at least one qualifying purchase at any participating Esso or Mobil service station within 12 months with the same Smiles Card.

* Terms and conditions apply.

+ Public Bank 8% rebate.

No point arguing which is the best petrol. Its differ from every car. My house has 2 car, 1 feel better with Petronas, and my wira goes well with Caltex, but both suck at Shell. Lack power, meaning harder on the pedal, translate to more FC.

Basically Petronas give more power, Caltex more smooth and quieter.

Hmm, looks like they are using a lime green Fiesta in the promotion ads for the fuel.

When did the unspoken partnership between Petronas and Proton stop? tongue.gif

Also, when did the Fiesta become the fuel economy poster child for Malaysia? If they were going for a foreign make, I would have thought they would go for something more prestigious like a Polo or a Golf. rolleyes.gif

What car you driving?

How come your car got car fuel computer? Sorry, i am new to car >.<

I'm driving Ford Fiesta 1.6 hb - the car in the advertisement biggrin.gif

Many cars have fuel computer nowadays... even the 2004 model Gen.2 I was driving previously has it.

BTW my result of 7.1L per 100km is for fully loaded car with 4 adults and lots of luggage. The last time I drove alone, it was only 6.1L per 100km (and that was using Caltex RON95, with the new Petronas fuel it might be even lower)

I guess Fiesta is not only seen as having good fuel economy, but also good value for money overall for what you get laugh.gif

Yes I'm sure they will feature Polo or Golf instead if they were selling at RM82K like Fiesta tongue.gif
