I was told by few of my friends that the quality of Petronas' petrol is better & can run more km if compare to other petrol brands. Anyone of u have really compare which brand's petrol really can run more km for same RM?

I am driving Wira, using Petronas & per km is about 0.15-0.16 sen. Any other infos for comparison?

Different car run better on diff fuel. My fren city (a model before the current one), runs 13 cent per km with caltex.

I am driving Iswara Aeroback 1.3 2003 Model its using 0.20-0.23 sen.
Petronas Petrol

This topic looks more like a kopitiam topic LOL

Back to topic, I heard this is truth for others, different cars different model with different fuel performance also different. For me, it's truth, petronas fuel run more distance for both of my cars. And I noticed the difference quite huge, around 30km ~ 40km.

Topic moved from Finance, Business and Investment House to F&F

it depends. seriously.

currently im driving kelisa manual, for me, petronas give more km than others. caltex/mobil/esso slightly less but slightly better pickup while shell for me give less km compare to others but better for pick up. so, i choose petronas

nway, i heard that for proton's car, better use petronas coz during engine testing period they use petronas's petrol, not sure but this is what i heard ar

wah u sure ar? like that petronas already engineered their oil specifically for Proton??? damn! i use shell entirely. even if my dad always ask to go to petronas. wahahah~

i use petronas..km wise no difference as i use both petronas and esso


but i prefer to use esso because of one thing.....the petrol dont give my engine a shitty feeling..if i use petronas i can hear like those tappet sound during hard acceleration during a very hot day.

if i use esso, no sound what so ever....so im leaning towards esso

same goes to shell! but really la..it depends...diff car,diff thirst..

i thought shell better ?

hahahah! see?

prefer shell and caltex personally

I was told my a reputable machanic that the best petrol you use is the fuel used during tuning for your car. therefore, before servicing / tuning of your car, use whichever brand you want and stick to it.

u'd better do some tuning to ur car...

Try each brand for a month then only calculate the diff lor.

personally i feel petronas gv better milleage compare to other brand

i think it depends on how you drive also. for those who always accelerate, for sure the fuel consumption is higher.

For diesel, only Esso/Mobil gives better mileage at the expense of power. Shell gives the best overall pick-up but exhaust is always dirty while Petronas is best of both worlds but less pick-up and still very dirty.

Must try BHP and Caltex soon.

i was told bout tis issue too..

How about BHP, they advert new Infiniti. Anyone ever calculate the milage?
I tried the Infiniti but did not calculatemy mileage

Petrol I have no idea, but for diesel, this is true.

Is it true that some people said that there is petrol that is not suitable in hot condition such as Shell and Petronas as it will vaporize, and some is suitable in hot condition such as Mobil as it will not vaporize. That is why we were asked to tighten the fuel cap.

I am asking because i do not know

yup... true... i using vios and i do get better millage with petronas... compare with shell... haiyo drink petrol man.... especially the v power... 1 cent no use... expensive some more... mobil i tried oin myvi also not so gud... caltex also not bad on vios compare with shell... almost there the millage...

I think v power gives more mileage compare to other petrols...

if u guys look carefully, all those 'promises' of save more n more kilometre are jaz a strategy to sell their oil. do u even feel like u get more kilometer if u switch to petronas? or shell for an example.... i feel like its all the same. coz no oil that contribute to saving an fc! for now.

i thought they are same?? lol...then which one is better for new honda city?? lol....

i personally like shell because it's outside my home only >.< so when i going out or coming back home also put oil there >.<

This post has been edited by chongkiatz: Feb 22 2009, 09:16 PM

well i fill in with shell, coz its the first one i did with. so gonna stick to it. haha

All petrols are the same.

On highway, more KM.

City driving, less KM.

kancil owner here. i feel more KM with petronas - can last for 1 week city driving (used shell b4 - can last for 5-6 days) but the main obj was the 5X Maybank TP.. hehe.

petrona better than shell..use to 2 of my car,and it really save..get xtra 30-40 km for full tank..but 4 diesel,is it esso is better??any evidence??i reaaly want to know..im using petronas diesel now..

That depends on what car you drive. Some owners say Petronas give more mileage. Some say Shell...while I say Caltex. You have to try it yourself first to know whether your car gives more mileage with Petronas Primax 3. Later try to experiment with other petrol brands.




.

well..i think no different...i pump shell/mobil/ or wadeva petrol..not much different...interms of power...all same only

This post has been edited by loong2020: Feb 22 2009, 10:48 PM

it will slight diff due to diff additives inside the petrol

If I always cruise during in highway, then Petronas fuel does have extra mileage compared to other brands. If you do a lot of pickups, then Mobil F1 is the fuel I will be looking for.

This is just based on my personal opinion tested on a Perodua Kelisa 1.0 EZI Auto.

Petronas gives my car more mileage followed by Mobil.

Shell is terrible.

as for my experience..
i will say shell can give me more mileage = using wira manual
i didnt calculate the mileage..but i did see my tank meter everyday with same distance..
petronas seem to finish faster than shell..
but for V-power its teh same mileage with RON97 shell petrol at same price



This post has been edited by []-mojo-sirap-[]: Feb 23 2009, 12:55 AM

petronas let my blm feel so weak..
shell make it more powerful..
mileage is about the same..

For me petronas less power compare to shell but in term of FC petronas win.

petronas = pick up not bad but when put under hot sun the petrol seem like disappear very fast
shell = pick up super but also super drinker
caltex = pick up ok can be consider for those who need extra mileage ^^
mobil/esso = pick abit S**K but can get longer mileage ^^
bhp = pick up so so and mileage so so also ^^

tested on my myvi and iswara + from my customer cars ^^
actually most important is the tunning of a car ^^
you want more pick up mean you will get lesser mileage of the fuel ^^
hope that help abit ^^

Here is a comparison of the FC in petrol.

ESSO > CALTEX > Petronas > SHELL

For my Nissan, Esso gives the best mileage and best engine peak power.
Petronas does give modest results of FC, but pickup can be bad.

If possible avoid Shell at all cost. But then again, like I said, Petronas is just "so-so", sometimes near to the borderline of SHELL

Seems like there are ppl who use Petronas & feel that it can run more KM compare to other petrols...Anyway, I can compromise with its quality like no power when pick-up, as long as it save my $$$

gimmick only .... i think ...

I have used petronas and shell and I' say that Shell gives more kilometer than petronas. the problem is that theres no shell in my area, so have to use petronas instead..

For me i will pump BHP n PETRONAS alternatively. BHP really save, but lack power. PETRONAS more power but noisy, so cant use too often. The nearest petro station near my house is Shell, but really give BAD FC!

petronas is more power but low mileage.. esso is average joe at both world.. shell is longer mileage but less power( not talking bout v-power)..

actaully wat my fren told me is that some petrol/brand/station/supplier will mix some of their petrol with other thing so they have more petrol to sell..which ended up u can see the different on the car..if u get the pure petrol..then u can feel ur car got more power..got more km lor..

how come? u stay very ulu-ulu or u mean within one km around your area there is only one Petrol Station?

I have no choice but to use Caltex because only Caltex carry RON 92 near my area.

.

Imho i dont think calculating your extra mileage to about 10km is something great.
everyday we drive, we face different traffic situation.

so its hard to exactly calculate unless you drive the same route everyday with the same pattern when you press gas and same traffic.


for me, if i pump full tank, if i get around 20 km more mileage then can consider la..anything less is irrelevant to me

full tank also not tat accurate due to diff conditions/weather/holiday ma
best is take 1 month averages

placebo effect maybe....

If want to save $$$, buy the RM1.70 RON92 la bro

For a typical Kelisa (no modd):

Petronas gives more KM, but engine is somehow very noisy

Shell gives a smoother drive, quieter engine, and better aceleration

Esso/Mobil gives smooth drive but less KM and power compared to Petronas

BHP similar to EssoMobil but 1st few tanks, engine knocking appeared!

So, Shell is best for a spirited drive where u can zoom here, zoom there.. Petronas is for KM, while EssoMobil and BHP is for collecting points~

*tests done over 4 year period~ But the new shell super + economy formula didn't try yet~

Fuel is cheaper but is not as pure, so mileage may not be as good..

Btw, if u change stations regularly (Shell-->Mobil-->BHP-->Shell-->Petronas)..FC will be very very bad!

This post has been edited by jVIPERs2: Feb 26 2009, 10:56 PM

sometimes, same brand but different dealer also different quality of petrol..last time i heard some dealer want to earn extra, they mix petrol with kerosene..i dunno bout now, but i experienced a very bad car performance using petronas, but after refill at another petronas station, the performance of my car improves...

hurm... looks like different ppl hav different thoughts of each petrol...
well im driving a 1.3 m perodua myvi...

if mileage is the factor
Caltex > Esso > Shell > Petronas

if pick-up is the factor
Petronas> Shell > Esso > Caltex...

so here we can say the more milage the fuel can give the less pick-up it will provide... maybe its the theory that "heavy" fuel burn slowly..[less pick-up more milage]

so for now i stick to shell... its the best of both world...

From my personal experience Petronas bad mileage and bad pick up power . I been using Petronas on my Myvi 1.3 for 6 months. Managed to get only 420km to 440km (If miraclelah). And the pickup need to step quit deep then only got the pickup. Also there customer service Majority no manners. After that my dad recommended me Esso. Using it for 4 months only then i channel Shell V-Power. Big differents. Been using for 2 years plus (Shell V-Power), millage 530KM++( 60% city & 40% highway) and beautiful pickup power. I think if 75% highway can go till 650KM+. When warm up my car every morning, no funny2 smells came out unlike Petronas and Esso. Planning to stick with Shell forever. Somore their customer service excellent, very helpful, fast respond, neat place and nice place to hang out if got MD. Shell Rules

for me best mileage for city driving is ESSO. but if for long distance journey go for shell v-power...really save. and i'm driving P1 Gen2

My g/f use to say that Shell fuel burn very fast, meaning less millage, So stick to Caltex (What Drive You) R.M

petronas is more campro-friendly .
esso is not so friendly to campro , low end power seems to be lesser .

diff cars prefer diff fuel.. i think certain cars like volvo cant take a certain fuel.. forgot which 1 already... u have to take in account of cabuerator, fuel injection, FSI, ... all diff technology

hmm petronas? i don't support the government...so... haha.

caltex and esso/mobil works best for me

try bhp, the put gr8 additive for their fuel.

ok will try BHP for my next refill.

So what brand give the most power? I dont care about miledge, it is all about power I want.

got different?? ..i pump bhp,shell,petronas,caltex,esso/mobil....pickup also like normal..no changes....

driving a NA tuned p1 gen2..

shell pick up vry gud..i'm lovin it.. fc so-so..
petronas pick up not that good.. fc so-so too..
esso no power.. engine vry shaky.. fc vry bad..

stick to shell..

if diesel.. i prefer petronas than shell in term of fc.. tested on my dad's pajero n everest..

I've been always a user of shell...but tried pumping in petronas once while on the way back from Ipoh...to me its still the same...500km for RM66...

it depends lar bro....my wira aeroback with shell v-power full tank (rm90 = approx 45 litre) can run up to 560km... normal shell around 550km also
both fuel using in kl city area....u try v-power when u are going to genting...the performance is noticable....

different car different fuel consumption...even human also has different taste mah bro....

Added on March 1, 2009, 3:45 pmwat car are u driving? if u has more horse power...basically it makes no different. try it on underpower car, i bet u will able to feel the difference...

This post has been edited by melvyn: Mar 1 2009, 03:45 PM

+1

senzaki,what about other diesel???try b4??

diff car likes diff fuel

my ride is satria 2006, i prefer shell & bhp, can noticed more fuel consumption when using petronas compare use shell and bhp. now i just pump shell and bhp. more mileage and better performance

i think the shell is better...

Different cars react to different petrol....

i'm using Petronas..it gives me more power compared to Esso..and when I mix 20% shell and 80% Petronas...got more power...funny...

fyi..i pump petronas 27.777 ltr (RM50) can give me 350km (max).

if filled up rm50 using shell and i travel from putrajaya to sungai petani.. means
rm50 = 420km

oh it's myvi btw

is mobil same as esso?

for my kancil/wira imo petronas will give more "power" while when using shell it "save" more

I use Shell coz of bonuslink and close to my house.

Anyway in M'sia all petrol oso refined by 1 company only... and no its not Petronas

Go to PD & u will know. Different co. then add some additives and do marketing & Consumer falls for 'placebo effect'

From what I know, Petronas do not do refining, exploration or pumping out oil, wonder what do they do except 'joint-ventures'

wow...ur car FC very good lorrr....RM50 can go 420km
mine RM50 only 350km..

i dun use petronas coz i rather spend the money on other companies rather then let those buggers suck my hard earn money from everything i use ....

earn so much stil suck from all the way they can ...

in miri sarawak only got shell and petronas. i dont support malay company so i dun pump petronas. and their equipment here looks older to me. when pumping oil also slower than shell so this is waste my time standing there sucking in the smelly oil smell. and also shell here dun hav v-power so cannot try it out. i want to pump my 2.0 civic with v-power!! please bring it to miri..

u wana start vroom vroom??

aiyo.. im just voicing my oppinion. and i got lots of malay friend. they are very kind but only *now those powerful ppl is bad

next time just write u don't support Petronas lar.... enough liau.... everyone understands that....

okla.. u also no nid highlight and make it the text so big. can pm me and advice me. thanks

haha! just to warn u coz i kena banned numerous times & removed my post counts several times.

must be careful in FNF

i am using shell v power for my car z350 it cost me 26 cent per km on highway test..as i have test petronas petrol the same milege as i did for shell v power...petronas petrol cost me the same as v power..but v power giving me smoother and better respone while changing gear (constant speed at 140km/h) i vote for shell.

It depends on cars actually, but i love shell a lot than petronas..

maybe u can try to understand the RON first for ur car then you will know what petrol should use for your car for best effort and fuel effieciency.
i am using esso regular for my car now and before is use primax, i am satisfy with the result in all performance and fuel effieciency part.

well..just service my car today and pumped in vpower...feel like more responsive... (maybe syoik sendiri)...but gonna pump vpower for few times more... .....rev quite alot...

me testing vpower as well.. so far feel more power... quite too... recommended by perodua foreman...
he told me regular petrol usage X km vs vpower X km = almost same.... true or not?

think so..different abit...still monitoring..

Personally prefer V-Power after the first try...really impress with the performance compare to Esso that i've been use before...

Only the best for my car....V-Power!

One time tested on highway with my dad in his old merc. Petronas from Johor to Ayer Keroh, then Caltex to KL. Use till empty tank then change.
On high speeds the car have a lot of vibrations and engine noise with Petronas. After changing the oil, become smoother after a while. After that we all stayed away from Petronas.
Didn't test with Shell, but I feel driving more syiok the few times I pump v-power in Kelisa. Dunno how much is placebo,
Don't really care about FC also. If drive with a lead foot, however good FC also no diff. I just go for the brands I feel comfortable with. So, Shell, Caltex, Mobil, BHP.

And i feel that petronas really suitable for my previous WIRA that using MIVEC 1.6 engine.
More km and better pick up. If i pump V-power into mivec...really feels like drinking water...

Shell - Ferrari

Petronas - BMW.

i prefer the prancing horse better.

i rather to put onli RM10 for petronas if my tank was nearly empty and there is no shell nearby so dat i can search shell ahead (normally at PLUS highway )... hakhak...

shell super really did give u slightly more km but when accelerate it is not as smooth as petronas primax 3. in fuel injection car u might cant really tell the different but in carburetor car u will surprise for the smooth and no lag acceleration.
