Pisces69 6th Gear March 18, 2011 Share March 18, 2011 wow dude super... your tank is 45L or 50L its all highway driving for you and if in Singapore i think you will not get 600km or 650km for that tank haha I can get about 900km fm my 60 lit tank if I cruise n dont floor it too much while cruising on NSH. Cruising at a constant 90km/h-100km/h is much more economical than driving about town with many stops n starts. And close all windows n use the AC for less wind resistance. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear March 18, 2011 Share March 18, 2011 oh Maybe its true for the engine noise! But I still recon that it will still not make my car go faster! The mindset of people sometimes things that putting premium octane level petrol will make their car go faster which is not true! Hey Good-Carbuyer, you know anything aout car compression ratio? I think most cars can take 95 or 92 in Octane petrol in Singapore right? In States they have 87 premium but in Singapore we have Premium 98. Even 92 is of a higher grade then the states! SG uses RON(Research Octane Number) but States use a different standard. Their 87 is higher octane if converted to RON. Also many US cars have big low compression engines so can make do with lower octane petrol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kar_lover Supercharged March 18, 2011 Share March 18, 2011 Last time when i was a biker, the results of my butt feel is Caltex is the best. V power waste money. For bike, being much lighter, i tink i can feel the difference better. Now drive car, all also feel the same so i just go to the best discount or nearest to my house/work place which is between SPC and ESSO. Whichever 2 is fine. Having said dat i do most of my pumping in boleh land. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeal888 Neutral Newbie March 27, 2011 Share March 27, 2011 my friend is driving Sunny, SPC or Shell doesn't makes any difference to him. But for me, it makes a noticeable difference! Shell power is bigger than SPC. When using SPC, I have to be a heavy footer to get the satisfatory pickup. Moreover, my engine roars louder when using SPC, there is really big difference in the pickup power and comfort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keynes7 Neutral Newbie March 27, 2011 Share March 27, 2011 Prob asked a million times before, but does it really make a difference? I've switched btw 95 and 98 and dont feel any noticeable diff in mileage and power. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thedream 3rd Gear April 1, 2011 Share April 1, 2011 Previously the 18% for DBS Esso Mastercard w/ Smiles was up to 31 Mar 2011. I've checked that petrolwatch still shows discount, but am not sure that this is updated. Does anyone know whether the 18% has been extended? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joemarystar Neutral Newbie April 24, 2011 Share April 24, 2011 Singapore use SPC. From 95 upgrade to 98 due to some modification that require higher octane fuel. If Malaysia, of course Petronas. Like most forummers who chose SPC, I chose it because of better discount. Most SPC also have AXS, POSB ATM services. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmoguy 2nd Gear December 17, 2015 Share December 17, 2015 Which station? I know Lavender stn is using analog. Others are all digital! The common place that I pumped is Thomson, beside Thomson Plaza. Air pump is analog, needle type. Other areas whereby Air pump also analog, needle type. Damn lousy, outdated air pump. a) ESSO@ 622 Queensway Singapore 149061. b) ESSO @ 174 Holland Rd. Ended up I usually go Caltex to pump my tyre. Caltex air pump is the best! best mileage and velly gd power + smoothness- caltex good mileage average power + smoothness - esso/mobile velly gd power no mileage rough - shell (the old formula) bad mileage and bad power rough - spc SPC is the worst. My 2 cars after pumping SPC, "bo luck". I banned SPC for years already. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladykillerz 4th Gear December 17, 2015 Share December 17, 2015 Interesting topic to discuss. Caltex: Good for mid-high end drive (highway drive) + Feel more power + Good for Conti cars Esso/Mobil: Good for low end drive (city drive) + Feel more smoother + Good for Jap/Kor Cars Shell: Average drive + Feel rough and noisy + Good for nothing unless using V-power + Good marketing skill in Singapore SPC: OK drive + Fuel meter drops kinda fast + Good for those who love to throw money away (LOL) In conclusion, Caltex serves a good drive when mostly in highway while Esso/Mobil serves a good drive when mostly in city drive. Nonetheless, this is just my observation and might not be accurate. Most importantly, drive safe. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
