Bro Sleepwalker, Octane boosters can range from RM20 plus to RM70 plus, from STP, Outlaw, Penzoil, etc. Any differences between these brands because the price gap is pretty wide and there's no mention of RON ratings either on the packaging. How effective are those octane boosters anyway? I've tried STP but sadly, no effect at all but it was RM20 plus only.  QUOTE(sleepwalker @ Nov 24 2006, 11:10 PM) You can get octane boosters in any accessory shops or even make them yourself. Plenty of recipes online. However it's just too troublesome to use it everytime you pump a full tank and most just don't bother. |

I thought it's supposed to clean the engine while you drive with V-Power because of the added additives. It should benefit old cars in some ways, right? Correct me if I'm wrong, I saw many old cars pumping V-Power once or twice a month to cuci engine.  QUOTE(sanosizo @ Nov 28 2006, 01:08 PM) there's an episode of fifth gear where the presenter (john bentley i think) tested several types of fuel into 3 cars of different ages. what can i remember is that advanced fuel only benefits advanced engines in high performance cars. i guess v-power blue/red fuel doesnt bring any improvement to cars aged more than 15 years... |

I agree with your Cons here, the price is not really worth it for the power and slight increase in mileage (if there is). QUOTE(icez @ Dec 5 2006, 07:41 PM) I've tested it - 2 full tanks already. Pro's: - Smoother acceleration - Quieter engine - More efficient power delivery through the rev range Con's: - Expensive - With the extra "power", there's a higher tendancy to drive fast - thus FC is reduced. |
