E10.. Yes or No?

[Zeus]

Petron Xtra unleaded ang ginagamit ko sa Ford Escape, pero ngayon halos wala na xtra, E10 na ang pumalit, sinubukan ko ang E10 noong isang araw, nagpakarga ako ng P500. napansin ko parang nguminginig ng konte pag nakahinto ang sasakyan sinubukan ko ang xcs kagabi, wala pa naman akong naramdaman ng nakakaiba...

[kizmark]

I have been using Petron Extra (octane rating 93) in my Avanza 1.5 since I bought it October last year. The other day, since Petron's Extra (now 95 octane rating) is already the the E10, nagpakarga ako ng 500 din like Zeus. Pansin ko lang parang hirap umarangkada.

Pre, try this link also re E10's "Precautions/Tips For Use of E10 Gas".. got that link dito rin kaso i forgot yung thread name. it so happen nasave ko yung site address. anyway, 'though latest yung ride mo, better siguro XCS ka na lang, mas matipid. Try mo muna 500.00 siguro. Dati Xtra Unleaded din ako, tapos since wala na nga sya.. i shift to XCS, mas matipid pa nga ngyon.. kasi kunti apak lang arangkada agad. Lastly, around P1.00 lang ang difference..

Tinanong ko sa mga service advisers ng Ford, hindi daw pwede ang E10 sa Ford Escape at Kailangan pinakamababang octane

*redeemed: salamat bro, subukan ko talaga yan. nagtataka lang ako why petron extra was converted to e10 without much fuzz in media, wala man lang dedicated information campaign na may technical data based on their studies, basta na lang bumulaga (correct me if i'm wrong). that way, we end-users could have made more informed decisions kaysa pa-try-try lang tayo.

your welcome bro! yap, nagulat na lang din ako when i went to petron para magparefuel ng Xtra Unleaded... wala na pala. ang tagal ko nga dun.. nag-iisip kung ano ikakarga ko. e since i used XCS na rin dati dun pa sa old car namin.. plus alanganin pa ako sa E10 kung pede sa car ko.. kaya i decided XCS na nga lang talaga. thank God! di naman ako nagkamali. merong media coverage pero dati pa & di rin gano nabigyang pansin. sabi ng petron dun sa amin, utos daw ng malacañang to use biofuel.. aalisin na unti-unti ung unleaded. siguro kaya di pa nagcocomply other gas stations, di pa empty unleaded tanks nila.

btw, just let us know performance ng XCS dyan sa ride mo.

guys, just started using E10 dis week, it affects the over all power of my car. Yung gas station kc sa amin started to sell E10 instead of unleaded. They check the engine and sabi compatible daw yun dun.. so i gave it a try.. 2 days after, humina ang AC ko :-( pero pag umaapak ako ng accelerator back to normal ang coldness... I let an Ac technician check the freon and posible leak yesterday but the findings are good, no leak and the freon is ok... humina pati hatak and may sound akong naririnig... full tank ako so i have use it muna till friday... den i will shift to premium and see the difference... i hope bumalik yung dating performance by that time.. haayyyy.. btw, i'm using sentra super saloon s3..

naka experience ba kayo ng ganito using E10?

I have been using E10 for my 1999 Accord and 2007 Civic way before Honda made it official. Kaartehan lang nila yun dati to say wag daw mag E10.

Have you encountered problems with E10 blended gasoline?

[rensom]

Ang napapansin ko lang pag ako gumagamit E10... nararamdaman ko na kapag na-idle ang engine nanginginig siya at kapag umaapak ka sa accelerator.. prang di swabe.

[josep]

E10 blended petrol has some properties that does not goes well on some car components. Unang pumalag sa car ko nyan is my fuel pump.. had a whistling sound na unti-unting lumakas habang cge gamit ko ng E10!
Now i refrain using it!

[Sarsi]

Hindi naman kaya Marketing Strategy lang ng mga car manufacturers at dealers ang pagsasabi na hindi pwede ang E10 sa mga kotse natin?

Syempre pag sinabi nila na hindi pwede, ang chioce natin ay i convert kuno ang carburetor type sa EFI, na sinasabi nila na mahal, at ang pangalawang choice mo, magpalit ka na ng auto

sir josep, kamusta naman po ngayon yung car nyo? nawala na yung whistling sound?

sabagay, same din experience ng iba.. balik na lang ulit sila sa non-E10 gasoline.. anyway, kindly update us na lang sir joseph.

i would just like to share my experience..

ever since i got my S3, i have been loading up on E10 from Total Alabang. i get a measly 7 kpl for this, plus the engine is a bit noisier and acceleration is so-so. i have been ignoring it, because, what the heck... i am using my car up to makati only (from las pinas). pag nag 100 kms na yung odo (trip) ko, below 1/4 na.

last saturday, from an empty tank, i loaded up (full tank) of XCS. and went to Fairview yesterday morning (or around 53 kms one way from my place). when i reached my destination sa Fairview, konting-konti ang galaw ng gauge. when i went back to my place in Las Pinas, or around 104 kms, nabawasan lang ng onti ang fuel gauge. i estimate this to be at the 10-11 kpl consumption. gumanda ang acceleration and tahimik na tahimik ang makina sa idle.

it means that even though your car is an EFi, meron pa ding effects yung E10 sa makina and consumption.

just sharing.

my engine is not compatible with e10 fuel. :sad:

[ghosthunter]

Just a thought...

For those using Auto-LPG, given we have E10-gasoline in our tanks which doesn't get used for a long time. The ethanol component of E10 has a characteristic of absorbing water over time. Shouldn't this be a potential of rust to happen if we don't use up the contents of our gasoline tank every few weeks?

last week, i added E10 to my sister's '96 Civic VTi - so far, no effect naman sa engine. but reading the abovementioned link yesterday, i shifted back to Petron XCS/Caltex Vortex Silver just to play it safe (di ko kotse eh... hehehe)

[CVT]

I am not an e10 convert yet. Reason why I don't gas-up at Shell anymore....(Dati, Shell ako)..... Doon na lang ako sa Caltex(5% rebate on HSBC) or Petron (3% rebate on BPI-Petron MC) in that order of preference....

sir redeemed. yes i discontinued using E10 at balik sa premium petrol, nawala yung whistling sound gradually. thought had the pump damaged kasi iba na talaga ang level ng tunog. it was my neighbor who spotted kung saan galing yung unusual sound. dating SA ng toyota who now works with hyundai in the mid-East.

out of curiousity lng kasi noon why i tried using E10 kasi compatible daw sa EFI engines but then it didn't work, sa fuel pump ako ngkaproblema.
