92 RON for Civic 2.0L ?

[Ahyoo2002]

Yah, budget car and preferably good FC.

 

Budget car can at least save you some money to pump petrol for many years

Hi,

 

anyone tried 92 RON for your FD2 ? Feedback appreciated. Thanks!!

 

Pump JB V-Power lah. I read an articule from a Taiwanese car magazine on cost saving tips. They actually recommend to pump lower grade petrol and mix with premium grade petrol. Perhaps, you can do 50% 92, 30% 95 and 20 % 98.

A lot of people change car and said bc high petrol bil, but hor, each change will cost a lot of money. The lost of money can last you many months/years of petrol liao.

[Rickster]

U can always minimise the loss by buying back a same make. Eg. From a 2L civic to a 2nd hand 1.6L car

[Watwheels]

Yalor. The things to change should be ones driving habit and lifestyle.

[Iygnaug]

You remember which taiwan magazine that is? That's what i always do but always kanna bashed by people for doing so....

can tell your usage is pretty high..

i pump once a week only. and my mileage averages abt 20+k km per annum.

 

so assuming if the average user clocks 20k km per yr, and pumps abt 4times a month, it's quite impossible to save $15 per pump.

 

 

what im trying to say is, if FC is a concern, then obviously a 2l engine should be the first to go, esp when one is trying to save 10-20 bucks a month.

 

got point, but pro and con, the taste of 2L and above cars, driving seating, NVH, space, it can be addictive; pay more for petrol also

 

anyway, besides this another option is CNG?

 

and as kelpie mentioned, go jb pump,

this morning i just heard on radio "malaysia may stop sg and thai vehicles from purchasing their fuel at petrol kiosks to enjoy their prices"

something along the lines of the pump will recognise an embedded chip in msia regtd cars only, foreign vehicles can still buy fuel at their pumps, but at the NON subsidised rates, but this is one is MAY only, not confirmed, the day when this happen,

It is found in the Car News magazine in 01/08 issue. It is kinda of troublesome if you ask me.

Yah, can. Manual states minimum 91RON.

 

Bro, read carefully, the 91 is not for our region leh.

[Sykco]

Eh? Page208 in the manual only has one rating for K20Z2. Nothing about other regions leh.

If you want to use 92, y dont get a fuel catalyst like broquet or fitch.

i have tried it before, and it works

 

pm me if u r interested

[Carcraze]

whats the price difference between 92, 95 and 98 in Singapore currently? It recently went up again, right?

[Shox87]

hey bro long time no see man!

 

the prices of petrol now is insane. i think shell 98 is $2.31 before discount.

[Curahee]

Written on manual its recommended ron is 95.

Bro, don't do this type of thing with your car. 1 tank of 92 and 95 not much diff, for your car, probably its only $1.50.....1 month how much can you save?

 

Unless your manual states can then by all means, go for it.

 

i dun buy this kind of argument becos why should we go for 95 if 92 will do?

[Rickster]

Becos of the manual recommendation. If your manual states a min of 95, why should u go for 92?

 

I go for 92 becos my car's manual states that it can take ron 90.

The 1.6 litre car may not be as efficent as the 1.8 litre car (not sure about the 2 litre)

 

The power-to-weight ratio must be good. The engine must not be struggling to pull theheavy FD body.
