what do u mean have ppl check their petrol quality
even station i go...even in front of my house also have a shell
when they refill...there's only the driver and the boss and maybe the station employee only
that's it...2-3 ppl

Added on June 15, 2011, 10:10 pmi also can feel..cuz pumped from different station...the engine noise also different
some when u pump...the engine very silent...some noisy like nobodys business
kerosene is to increase the octane...is it?...but water doesn't
water is to make it look like u have more fuel...to maximize profit

the spot check is random checks conducted by people from the HQ

no oh...here no
when car comes...just the driver...sometime have a helper with him

Below are pics of the multipurpose container accessory (incl in FL Exec AT) as "promised"...?

Found the way to post a bigger pic...hehe...


So is it an ashtray? Can put coins? Or what else can it be used for? Any ideas...suggestions? ATM it is useless for me...

when I bought my car, the salesman told me it is a ashtray but it can be used as multipurpose, coin, etc. i use it to put my petrol receipt so that every month I can track how much I put hehe

Added on June 16, 2011, 12:26 amThis petrol with water issue has been around for a loooooong time liao leh..I bet u r "lucky" Mr_alien to be able to witness those ppl to pour water into the thank, at the mean time r those ppl dump to pour water into the tank in the public ? They don't scare ppl complain ah ? LOL

I am experienced this same issue once, maybe u guys hear b4..it happened way back ~10 years ago at Sri Manjung, Perak , anyone know this place? There is one Petronas station there,I think they refill too much of water and at the end 5 user's (I think if not mistaken) car which ONLY pump their petrol log a complain when their car acting weird after pumping the petrol for quite sometime and end up engine totally 'kong'. 5 of the car was checked and verified that it was due to the petrol which contain high level of foreign substance aka water. The owner of the petrol station was sued and paid the owners compensation. The petrol station was then closed down for awhile but not quite long later, it resume operation Until today they are still ppl putting petrol from that station despite this incident.

tried refilling from petronas today. felt not as powerful as shell, but it could bring my FL to 172km/h max speed. o.o.. shell 95 only gave me up to 165km/h max speed.

I've tried bhp, petronas, shell.. all also almost the same only.. hmm.. bhp give better power i think.. and all of it are not giving me any extra mileage.. petronas make my car feel lighter.. shell also felt like more lighter but just dun really feel the power.. n all of them r claiming this and that.. just purely LPPL.. think just fill up 95 to keep the car moving.. forget about what extra power or extra mileage..

im getting good mileage with petronas. currently clocked in at 254km with 2 bars remaining. should be able to hit 350km before reserve fuel comes out.

of course they're not scared....no proof also
even have proof...they also can say is other things...blah blah blah
as long they dn't put over amount of water...i think for them sure no problem
as long as they can maximize their profit out of it...
but different station do it different way....or add different amount of it
so i always advice ppl..if u found that certain station gives u good FC or engine more silent there
keep pumping from that station....i'm guessing they didn't add anything into it
some station ...once pump, start the engine, the engine is especially loud and the FC really sucks
those station..i won't go back anymore

Good morning BLM-ers

Interesting read regarding petrol used.

Here.

i think for highway is bhp

what about city driving? hybrid? coz too many jam any can only drive below 40kmh..?

How about Caltex? Seems nobody was discussing about this...I feel Caltex's fuel consumption is not good, about 70km will drop 1 level out of 6, i used to drive on highway.

juz got my car, sent to proton bcoz got prob wif lower arm... kena RM165.30.. hehehehehe

Interesting article. Incidentally, I find myself using Petronas over short distances. I don't think I travel more than 50km a day, on avg.

I think he means that every once in a while, a fuel inspector will come over, take some fuel samples and check the quality of the fuel.

Ouch. What were the symptoms of this problem?

waa.. new car and got prob with arm and then kena charge summore? whats the reason? u take go sepang test drive ar bro..?

got metal hitting sound when u accelerate and braking... sound coming from the front shaft area...


my own fault, everyday drive macam orang gila, but the prob not from driving style.. it start from faulty absorber, it was last gawai holiday, i drive back to wife's kampung (6 hour drive)... otw there my absorber got bunyi alrdy, rosak bcoz of potholes and i never slowdown, juz hit the holes.. i cont driving using faulty absorber... when going back home few days later... another sound coming up... lower arm bushing will wear out if u're driving on faulty absorber...

so owez keep in mind, if absorber rosak, go change it, dun wait until lower arm bush rosak..

1 bar oni get 80km....damn penang.... now even more damn cause much road being close for repairing..

thanx for the info bro.. but even new car the absorber rosak also no warranty for that..?
