Why pay more for 98 unleaded?
-
Hello road users,
we know 98 is more expensive.
the question in my mind is , why ?
how is it justified that 98 is more expensive than 95 etc?
hope to learn more.

Don't. Just pump the cheapest grade you can find.

u're wrong....depends on what your ca's Min requirements are...if u pump 92 u'll make your engine suffer from detonation...cheap in short term...harmful in long term...as u will use the $$ from the savings to replace broken pistons...Originally posted by onlooker123:Don't.

Some cars(i.e sport cars,super cars) need min RON 98 fuel so as to prevent,as tofu said,detonation

see your cars min req, for most of the car, its say 90 and above.
however like same car, some use 92 say can, save money, its working.
some use 95 say better. its hard to justify.
For any car higher then 1.6l my comment is, go for 98.... anything below 1.6l cant feel much difference... however 92 and 95, my personal experience is better mileage for 95 for altis..
However for picato.. 1.1l car... 92 and 95 doesnt make difference to me....
Be adventurous do some testing your own
Play safe? try 95 and 98 -
If you detect ping-ing when you drive, then the grade of petrol is too low for you. Time to up a level.

If you drive a car like Civic Type-R that requires minimum 98, you don't have a choice. Although Malaysia's 97 do work for some CTR drivers out there too. -

us$ petrol prices per barrel dropped sharply recently after US boosted their reserves and asked opec to increase output.
BUT WHY PUMP PRICES NEVER GO DOWN ALONG WITH IT?!
it's so crap! when the price go up, pump prices go up within one day.
when the price go down, all the petrol companies act blur sit there shake leg, and all the drivers just continue happily paying more. -
well the owner's manual said so...Originally posted by AE86tofu:u sure its 91 or 95? any corolla owners can confirm this? anyways so long as u dont go below the min requiremens u are fine... -
What car you driving?
The vast majority of cars, the cheapest grade can liao.
In Singapore, they try to con you with higher grade fuel.
In the USA, even the V6 4L cars, cheapest grade is ok. -
in US...cos the engines are tuned for that level of octane(i.e Lower compression/slightly retarded timing)..which is why the performance figures are slightly lower than other markets like japan....and of course thats another reason why american engine produce such a puny amt of BHP per literOriginally posted by onlooker123:What car you driving?

The 1.8L Toyota Corolla in US market produces 126 horsepower.
The 1.8L Honda Civic in the US market produces 140 horsepower.
So you're saying the equivalent cars (ie same engine cc) in Singapore have more power? -
the R18A1 and the 1ZZ-FE are not american engines....Originally posted by onlooker123:The 1.8L Toyota Corolla in US market produces 126 horsepower.

what tofu is referring to are those designed and built by engineers in america from GM, ford....
and doesnt necessarily mean that higher capacity will require higher octane number though is usually the case... -

frankly all ur analogies have nv hit the spot... its like 2km wide....Originally posted by caleb_chiang:and also the reason ppl chose to wear rolex than casio... -
ok recent updates....
driving honda jazz..
Always pump 95, then add in 98, then 95... 98..
Fc usually 15km/l (50percent highway,50road)
I tried 92 for full tank
the fc goes 13.6km/l
really WTF!!!!

Ok, as far as I'm aware, in the USA, for the Accord and Camry non-V6 cars, the lowest grade of fuel would do. That is equivalent to our 92 octane at the pump. (it's 87 in the USA)Originally posted by n0x:the R18A1 and the 1ZZ-FE are not american engines....
