i thought SG$1.6 M car.

Technically if your running normal engine variants (i.e. not TFSI, FSI engines) you can use a minimum of 92 but most use Ron95 to play safe so you don't get engine pinging.Originally posted by katrine:Hello, can i know wat petrol to pump if drive a 1.6 manual car. and how the petrol works why is there unleaded 92, 95, 98 and v-power... isn't it all petrol burn the same?? -
Someone was saying in MCF that 95 will do for most street cars unless you're driving performance car or your pocket is deep enough.
Else, it's just a waste of $$. -

I believe for new cars 1.6 normally the manufacturer would recommand 95octane. But alot of people normally go for 98.

Dude u buy car never read manual 1 ar? lol , anyway the manual will state wat is the MINIMUM requirement for petrol, u can use better grade but NOT a lower grade that was specified.

The type of fuel to use does not depend on the size of the engine.Originally posted by katrine:Hello, can i know wat petrol to pump if drive a 1.6 manual car. and how the petrol works why is there unleaded 92, 95, 98 and v-power... isn't it all petrol burn the same??
RON 95 will be good enough for most cars. 98 will definitely be good enough for any car.
V-power is a performance enchancing fuel(basically 98 + some addictives) but it's very expensive.
Try not to use RON-92 for newer cars. -
until now i still don't understand.
The same make and model of car will have the same engine in US or in Asia. It's just that the engine is timed up or timed down.
US engines are timed down so that you can fill up 87 Octane.
My Nissan Altima last time in canada can take 87 octane.
Nissan Cefiro now (same engine series), must fill 95.
Shouldn't singapore change to timed down engines so we can fill cheaper 87 Octane? -
if change to lower octane singapore garment earn less.. so the garment everything also want high so they can squeeze us lot more

Ideal is to allow the new diesel cars to be sold in SG...diesel costs much less than petrol and the Euro4 standard engines burn cleaner than the current petrol engines..
-
drivers would want dat, but think of e consequences.. roads will haf so many cars, more traffic jams and waiting time, end up govt haf to raise taxes. bottomline is while we get cheaper cars dat r cheaper to run, ultimately, e govt will still make it expensive to own a car.Originally posted by CPL:Ideal is to allow the new diesel cars to be sold in SG...diesel costs much less than petrol and the Euro4 standard engines burn cleaner than the current petrol engines.. -
There's still things like the COE & ERP to control car usage..using diesel or even CNG is a good option versus petrol as they are more environmentally friendly.
The issue is car usage.. -
V-power is useless if yr car's engine is not tuned to take advantage of the fuel....tried and tested liao....on a chassis dynoOriginally posted by RSP:The type of fuel to use does not depend on the size of the engine.
