  hi,
  
  is it true that it's good to pump a tank of v-power after a few tanks of 92/95? will this help the car remove carbon left over by 92/95? how does this help?

  yes. But only because of the additives in the Ron98 fuel. Other than that its a waste of money on our cheep cars.

  no lah.. this way.. not good for engine..
  
  Try not to rev engine without load too often..
  
  What I meant is to drive ur car hard.. eg. traffic light GP.. juz floor and take off. For me.. sometimes when entering highways.. i will drop to 2nd gear and floor.. pick up till redline..
  
  If u remove my spark plugs.. all very clean.. no black carbon on it.

  I find that actually wasteful. I'd rather redline while my vehicle is actually moving. Downshift wherever possible, and just chiong the expressways

  Once a week must pump full or else rust will appear in the tank.

  pick-up includes gear change-up or just stay in one gear and drag the engine?

  Once u reach redline.. change to next gear.. but watch ur speed.. and do it only when its safe.

  Lets also not forget that while u redline, u also generate as much carbon.
