Here we go again with another fuel brand thread.

Has anyone notice where most of the taxis fill up their tanks (non-LPG) ? It's Caltex. I do believe the taxis drivers know best because it's their livelihood to get the best FC and performance.

I've tried all brands and honestly cannot feel any difference what so ever!

Guess your car's engine is very resilient and accommodative.

Don't know, I'm just using Toyota Mark X & Nissan Livina.

Japs are always more obliging, they will still nod their heads even if they don't agree with you.

I think it could be station dependent, try on those station which is relatively busy -> safer.

bhp user here.
best thing, the additive supplied by BSF company, one of the best.

bottom line, we pay for the same price.

Hahaha maybe, but even if there's a difference I still doubt is that significant enough to be felt, especially if driving normal NA engines. If really high performance cars, or highly modded ones, or forced induction engines, then maybe can feel more difference (like for turbos where you can put on more boost for example). Fifth Gear had done such fuel comparison tests using a midly tuned Golf GTI MK6 (>200whp) and the result was even for different RON rating the difference was still only 3-4hp (which is only <2% from the engine output) which was practically unnoticeable during normal driving. So if different RON rating only return such small difference, then the same RON rating would have even smaller difference, unless the fuel quality is so bad/very much below the supposed std, or somehow contaminated with something else.

Anyway I only fill up Petron coz got loyalty card where 3000pts can be exchanged with rm45 of fuel.

Got lah. Journey card.
Same here as well.

since when petronas become economy fuel?

owhh, i didn't know that! last time they totally don't have!
Checked their website, the Journey Card, almost same as the BCARD eh?

going to get myself one, full collection~!

Not fuel problem. Car problem.

even i hate mahathir
but undeny able petron is one of the best

petron ron97 = win

Most of the fuel are the same...except i found BHP is really sucking. Sam city jam...FC increase by 10-20%.

tried shell, petronas, caltex and petron, this time is the first time i pump bhp not sure what's the FC but throttle feel smoother compare to caltex

been using caltex for half a year and FC is definitely better than petron, petronas and shell

i dont like shell at all, last time pumped shell at different station and i see gas coming out more than the petrol going in while caltex and bhp got lesser gas come out while pumping, feel safer and good for my nose

petron is a big no no, shell or petronas only when there is no choice

fuel are the same(same RON and emission standard like euro 2M or 3) , but they will add in different additive on the petrol


eg: caltex=techron , shell=v-power

I thought BHP is Euro 3 standard? Although they declare is Euro 2, but their fuel is indeed Euro 3 right?

iinm ...bhp purchased fuel from singapore company ..which is euro 3 ..meanwhile other are used euro 2M
