Shemmy Clutched February 24, 2007 Share February 24, 2007 Could it be that it's filled with inferior petrol instead? I really never take notice of what's indicated on the pump.. Usually just fill full tank.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passion 5th Gear February 25, 2007 Author Share February 25, 2007 gathered from brothers information here.I guess it's only Shell petrol.I think they mess with the petrol after the discount.My friend is going back to Esso Mobil to pump already.

Fondue Neutral Newbie February 25, 2007 Share February 25, 2007 No difference for me .... using Shell. Most probably your driving pattern has changed over the last week or so due to the holidays. My FC always drop when I start doing extra trips to and around the housing estates (AMK, TPY, Bishan, etc), and improve when I get lots of oversea visitors cos need to go airport a few times a week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
