flashbang Turbocharged 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. We will see how it goes when I switch from SPC to Shell next year ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitvip Supersonic December 18, 2015 Share December 18, 2015 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 Damn lousy, outdated air pump.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! SPC is the worst. My 2 cars after pumping SPC, "bo luck". I banned SPC for years already. I don't pay much attention to air pumps. As long as the tyres can be inflated to the correct pressure is good enough. What I hate is when i drive to pump, it showed the our of order sign, or, when you pump, it is full of errors. Air leaking from the joints... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsl118 6th Gear December 18, 2015 Share December 18, 2015 Was previously on SPC, banking on Everyday Card and then UOB ONE Card discounts. Recently switched to Shell due to the discount booklet and HSBC combo. Shell seems to gives a smoother feel to the drive, shall monitor and evaluate further.

elmoguy 2nd Gear April 24, 2016 Share April 24, 2016 Some ESSO stations upgraded some of their old lousy analog air pump to a much better digital version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
song77 2nd Gear May 20, 2018 Share May 20, 2018 From riding days to driving, I observed that Shell burns faster (lower mileage); Caltex seems to make the vehicle more responsive. I stick to ESSO for its points. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kklee 6th Gear May 21, 2018 Share May 21, 2018 I had very good experience with Caltex Techron previously, it gave me less throttle body, erratic RPM and fuel gauge issue. The compromise was FC. So I stuck with it till now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
