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?

once awhile..local oil companies will get products from oversea if their refineries unable to meet the local demand but not always.. if a local O&G company get their product direct for singapore...for sure it will subject for import tax , not to mention paying more (exchange rate), extra cost such as off coast oil tankers to send the shipment, storage area and etc yet they sell it at Euro2M price? u think bhp is doing national service or charity ?  tongue.gif  O&G companies can sell higher grade products but our gomen not going to pay extra subsidy for it and the retail prices still the same..

From what I learn by my previous working experience in O&G, all of our petrols are purchased from other countries.. We do not not use our own petroleum as car petrols...

Reason? It's because our petroleum is of higher grade and quality, so it is suitable for those usage such as jet fuel and etc... Car petrol do not need such high grade, so it will be a waste to use it as car petrols...

u got it half right....last time our crude oil can fetch higher price because due to low sulfur content and we import cheapo crude oils from somewhere else... but now not the case anymore...

how many of u out there know that the world's most cleanest fossil fuel with almost zero sulfur was born in malaysia.... smile.gif

Same here. Would pump Caltex every once in a while for their Techron cleansing additive. Otherwise it's BHP for their Euro 3 petrol.

Pump caltex every once in a while will help to clean engine? Effective ka? Or is it need to use Techron regularly only effective?

Based on your car, Caltex and BHP, which one gives better FC?

In Malaysia the Techron additive can't be bought separately. Only way to get it is pump Caltex petrol

FC-wise both are more or less the same for me.

I know.. What I mean is, is once in a while use Caltex is effective? Or we need to use regularly only it will be effective?
