Silklee 3rd Gear June 29, 2009 Share June 29, 2009 I used to pump shell. No reason why, maybe because of its brand name and convenience as they have plentiful of stations everywhere. As I was trying to save a bit of $, and esso seems to give more discount with by citibank dividend card, I changed to esso. Surprisingly, I find that esso 95 is smoother and seems to give more power than shell 95. Anyone with similar experiences? I shared this with one of my colleagues and she told me that she thought the same as well, but refused to believe in it. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My previous car (carburattor engine) I do find esso95 can get more power than shell 95. But shell 95 feel a bit smoother/softer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yaloryalor 5th Gear June 29, 2009 Share June 29, 2009 I have switched from Shell 95 to Esso 95 since 2 years ago. I feel both about the same. Equally good or equally bad. I will not go back to Shell cos Esso got more discount (with dividend card). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigershark1976 Turbocharged June 30, 2009 Share June 30, 2009 just follow your preference, if you think u can fly with esso, stick with it.... if u search thru the forum, there are supporters for diff brand/grade petrol.... there are also people who always go for the lower price. Some people believe their saloon car can turn into F1 racing cars by pumping Vroom power, while others believe that their car will get explode if they pump 92..... nobody is righ or wrong, so long if you are happy paying your hard earn money to those bandits who will never fail to rob additional dollar from you by keep increasing the petrol price, just go for it.

Jamesc Hypersonic June 30, 2009 Share June 30, 2009 I always heard that Esso suited Getz but I was using Techron cos I thot those little people would clean my engine. Then one day I tried Esso cos no Caltex nearby and found that it really suited Getz so I am on Esso now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
