98 RON - $1.378 / litreOriginally posted by fishing7:Eh.... me car sotong regarding this . I know lead is harmful to cars, but if it is a new car, should it be such that the lead tolerance is much better.
Pardon me, i really dunno all these. Anyway, wat's the rough price for 92, 95 and 98 per litre?
95 RON - $1.298 / litre
92 RON - $1.268 / litre
The most significant difference is between 95 & 98 RON, which is 8 cents a litre.
By choosing 95 over 98 RON....
Say you pump 1 tankful of 35 litres a week, you save $2.80 each time you top up.
Multiply that by 52 weeks in a year, that's a massive savings of $145.60. That's enough for 3 full tanks of petrol, or a short 3 days getaway to Batam, Bintan or Genting.
Remember. 1/2 the price of what you pay for petrol is TAX (petrol excise duties). Why do you want to pay more taxes??? -
Juz sms my SA on the update on our car delivery. Seems like it is not confirmed that we would get our car late. The situation still very unknown yet as there is a great demand of pican in the whole asia.....
Think the safest would be add 1 more month to the existing delivery date, ie from aug/sept shipment to sept/oct shipment -
Hey thanks for info. So i guess most people go for 95 if their car permits. Haizz, how good would it be if car can run on cooking oil.. so cheap.Originally posted by Vit4WD:98 RON - $1.378 / litre

Hi Saab95,Originally posted by pupakia:No lah, Saab95, I am sure it is only directed at Mr Black and only in a fit of anger. We respect all the other makes, and like what you said, who knows someday we will get the respective models you have mentioned. I am sure you will be angry if someone suddenly pops out of nowhere and starts making groundless insults like so-and-so sucks or so-and-so is a pile of junk, particularly in a forum where everyone is enthusiastic and passionate about their cars, korean or otherwise. I am sure you understand that. If they are giving their opinions or exchanging info, of course we will accept it and take it in our stride. But if the idea is to just humiliate and insult, I, for one, will definitely give the person a piece of my mind. So, let's just put this behind us. Don't take the rap for mindless comments left by Mr Black or Thai Hero. We always welcome constructive opinions and suggestions over here.
Firstly, sorry for all the mis-communication.Glad to hear that you own a saab. What Pupakia says is true. It is actually directed at Mr Black, and also in a fit of anger. Truely I like Volve, Saab and Merc cars, I heard that the safety features is good for Saab, true? My neighbour in my office recently just scrape away his Volvo and change to a SAAB own by his wife(now his wife car less liao). BTW, from what I read you change from Getz to SAAB, why? I believe highly educated and rich people like you not only own 1 car right? hehe
But is maintaining it very high? -
Wow man. Visit the Getz club website and saw an extremely good deal for those planning to install solar control film for their car window. It is called SunGard. From USA and comply with LTA regulations. Only S$180 for Getz club members!!! Wonder if he could extend to Picanto owners as well. Dunno can negotiate further if we mass order. Check out this thread:
http://www.getzclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2095
You won't regret.

Hi everyone, Kinkichong has kindly contacted Ronald and as the Picanto's size is about the same as the Getz, he can give the same discount of S$180. Where to find, man. So cheap, compared all the other brands.
Check out SunGard's website: http://www.sun-gard.net/ -

Shell Formula 98 (98UL) - $1.458 / litreOriginally posted by Vit4WD:98 RON - $1.378 / litre
95 RON - $1.298 / litre
92 RON - $1.268 / litre
Shell Formula 95 (95UL) - $1.375 / litre
Shell Formula 92 (92UL) - $1.344 / litre
Shell V-Power (98UL) - $1.550 / litre
wow , the price of Shell95 is equal to 98RON. I wonder whether they belong to same grade or not ? I think Shell petrol is the most expensive one. -
Hi all PICANTO owner when u collect do really check for the power and tilt steering cos when i check the Kia motor singapore wedsite under standard spec it indicated clearly Power & Tilt Steering.U can check at these web page.
http://www.kia.com.sg/cars/stdspecs_tpl.asp?f=PCT
If they really did not give us we can actually log in a complaint at CASE and sue them.Cos standard specs means it will sure come with it unless agreement is being lias with them.
If any of the sa see these haa haa haa dooms day man.
-
but how comes Joseph dun hav tilt & power steering?
-
actually those clip on/add on mirrors are not recommended cos although they can give a wider rear view, the distance becomes distorted and driver's assessment are affected thus not safe. thats why car manufacturers dont install that and serious drivers dont use.Originally posted by pupakia:By the way, if anyone is buying a fixed-on rear view mirror for your car, you might want to go for the ones made in Japan instead of the ones made in China. Heard it is better.

Petrol, diesel prices up at Esso and Mobil kiosks
JUST a month after the first cuts in pump prices in more than a year, ExxonMobil is raising them again.
All its 77 Esso and Mobil petrol kiosks here will raise petrol and diesel pump prices from 12.01am today.
Prices for Synergy 8000, Synergy 5000 and Synergy 2000 petrol, as well as Synergy diesel, will go up by 4 cents per litre - from $1.458, $1.375, $1.344 and 81.2 cents respectively, to $1.498, $1.415, $1.384 and 85.2 cents.
A statement yesterday from ExxonMobil said 'wholesale prices' have gained an average of 10 per cent since early this month and remained high.
Last month, major oil chains took 3 cents per litre off their pump prices in the first downward movement since April last year. Prices had been heading up since December.
ExxonMobil also offered eight 'smart driving tips' in its statement, such as 'consider fuel consumption as an important feature' when changing vehicles. -
