hmmm im using esso petrol,i think its time to get that card.

just thought ill share since we on the topic,i dont know if its me or anybody else noticed this.

Petronas - consumption ok, good mileage clocks but low performance.

Shell - good performance, BAD mileage clocks.

Caltex - So-So performance , mileage clocks average.

Esso/Mobil - Decent power, nice mileage clocks. My favourite among all.

Just my opinion.

Brother Poc,

vpower is damn chun...in power and mileage butt...its kind of a different level laaa...:biggrin:

hmmm...i guess different cars results will be different.I wonder why tat is.This conclusion i posted above was on a 4g15 siemens.So i assume all cars will be the same..I think now i shall try shell again and see how it is.

I used to pump vpower last time, good power indeed, after that price rise then i changed to shell97 but totally sucks... same goes to caltex... Esso/mobil also one of the favourite but it's not so popular around the town so i give a try to petronas which i hated most.. surprisingly it suits my car well, performance better than the rest of 97... how come my feeling totally diff from you guys?? weird... :biggrin:

for me petronas is the best..good mileage and adequate power..shell is not so economy but got kick..bhp was like total disaster, my engine knocks when high revving..esso/mobil/caltex is good in mileage power was like so-so..my engine is mmc 4g13p...(oooppsss..forgot to mention..i did play2 with the ignition timing..so my case most definately will vary..)

check the knock sensor or the auto retard function..car with solenoil coil ignition (no distributor) usually got this gadjets..the function is to control ignition timing..good timing, good power..got a friend whose engine got short after install iridium spark plugs (waja 4g18)..maybe need to go engine diagnostic to see what sensors kong..

Yea i was a fan of esso because of the rebate.when time to claim the so called 'free petrol' i will whack the car like crazy.hehe.but i think it's really worth it compared to bonus link n stuff like that but certain esso pump adulterate their petrol n u will noticed bad mileage n performance.but i switch to shell because the esso near my plc adulterate the petrol.so means whatever station u go u will noticed some of them do this.good thing for the smiles card is u can use at mobil or esso.
