Anybody tried gas other shell, petron n caltex? how was it?

[Bogeyman]

Among the big three, the only brands I've tried are Petron and Shell; I loaded up on Petron Diesel Max from the day I got my unit at the dealership, and it gave me the best fuel mileage, at least compared to Shell Diesoline.

Pero may mas maganda pa pala sa Diesel Max, and that's Flying V's biodiesel. My engine ran quieter and had less emissions, apart from giving me outstanding fuel economy. Kaya lang, the other night, naubusan yung suking branch namin ng biodiesel, so I was forced to load up on Petron once again. Naging mas maingay ulit yung makina, tsaka humina ang hatak.

bakit hinde naglabas yun big three ng biodiesel?

[XTO]

petron, shell and caltex are all blended with 1% biodiesel since last year though nauna ang flying v, seaoil at unioil. marketing strategy na lang talaga at yung location ng pumps nila. - iwas baha - iwas contamination.

sa akin baliktad. natry ko lahat ng big three. then i heard about flying-v's bio diesel. kala ko pa naman mas mataas biodiesel content nila. yun pala pareho lang sa big three. mas maaga lang sila nagrelease. and at that time, cheaper sila by at least 50 centavos.

anyway, perception ko, the best pa rin ang petron diesel max. next would be caltex and tied naman ang shell at flying-v.

parang naging sluggish sasakyan ko sa flying-v pero same lang naman ang mileage and usok. so nung nagpantay na ng presyo, sa petron na lang ako.

would you know kung ilang percent ang content ng biodiesel ng Flying-V? Kasi explicitly nakalagay sa stations nila na "Biodiesel" so it made me think na mas mataas ang BD content nila if not pure.

Hindi lang sikat ang Total sa Pinas pero its one of the biggest in the world. Big time yan sa Europe. If memory serves, Total is short for Total Elf Fina.

From wikipedia:
"In 1985 the company was renamed Total CFP (Compagnie Francaise des Petroles, or literally the 'French Company of Petroleums' ). In 1991 the company name became simply Total. After Total's takeover of Belgian Petrofina in 1999, it became known as Total Fina. Afterwards it also acquired the French Elf Aquitaine. First named TotalFinaElf after the merger in 2000, it was later renamed back to Total in 2003."

o, para hnde OT....

Oks din naman talaga ang fuels ng Total. Some users claim that their gasoline line is equal, if not better that its counterparts, esp daw yung mga nasa high end. (Ex. Infinity performs better or equal to V-Power) Yun nga lng, despite the company being big globally, kokonti pa lng ang stations nila as compared to the original Big 3. So ung mga drivers who don't want to have "mixed" brands in their fuel tanks tend to patronize any of the big 3 more.

Thanks for the advice bro, medyo takot lang ako gumamit ng diesel kc ung black smoke na nakikita ko sa mga diesel, may ways b para ma prevent un?

Flying v so far ang pinaka the best diesel na nagamit ko....KAYA LANG, ang di maganda sa flying v eh ang mga locations ng stations nila....karamihan eh mukhang mababa ang lugar (baka binabaha..) plus, karamihan sa gas station nila eh mukhang mga lumang stations....kaya, di me sure kung clean ang diesel nila sa mga retail stations nila...
Kaya, sa Petron me madalas nagpapa karga ng diesel at bago mag karga eh lagay me additive ng BioActiv...mga 250 mL to 500mL per full tank ng Diesel.
1st hand experienced ko ito....
Try mo Shell Diesel...balita ko eh 1% biodiesel na rin sila...di ko lang alam kung COCODIESEL sila???
Ang petron eh Jathropa Biodiesel yata????
Ang flying V eh COCOBIODIESEL...
Ang Bioactiv na additive eh COCOnut Based....

Thanks guys for the info's so well maintained diesel engines will prevent does black smoke they should have thought about that sa Lost

Any additives you guys can recomend? How about oil change or tune up intervals how long?

Bro.
Experienced ko lang ito ha....it's up to you kung gagayahin mo.
By the way 4ja1 diesel engine ko.
1. Nagkarga driver ko ng Petron DieselMax with 500 mL na Bioactive....
Resulta, naging mausok na itim, in short natakot ako, ang ginawa ko,
2. Nagpakarga ako ng diesel sa Flying V ng maubos kinarga kong petron na may 500 mL bioactive. Resulta, halos nawala ang usok na itim. Kaso, ayaw ng misis ko sa stations ng flying v kasi mukhang marumi at bahaiin ang lugar kaya balik petro sya....
3. Di ko alam, ng magpa fulltank ulit sila sa Petron, eh nag add sila ng 1L ng Bioactive...resulta, nawala maitim na usok kaso nagkaroon ng maliit na whitish smoke...sabi ko, pag nangalahati ang fuel tank eh g=karga agad kayo ng Petron Diesel na walang additive. Nawala ang kaunting whitish smoke at lesser din black smoke.
Until now, pag nagparakarga kami ng fulltank petron diesel eh nag lalagay kami ng 250 ml to 500 ml ng bioactiv.

Okay naman engine at maganda rin usok...walang whitish smoke at less na less ang black smoke....


Kung hindi lang pangit locations ng mga Flying V gas stations (mga mukhang binabaha kasi mababa) at mukhang mga luma station nila eh sa flying v kami magpapakarga ng diesel...

Flying V diesel is cocobiodiesel ?
Petron DieselMax is Jatropa biodiesel
Shell biodiesel di ko alam......

Yun lang po.....

may mas mababa prices if you're willing to risk it....

i tried the "generic" fuel stations...

sa FUEL EXPRESS ako nagpapakarga, prices nila for unleaded is P1.50 lower than the lowest of the Big and Small players combined....

nung tinanong ko saan sila bumibili - depende daw kung sino mababa, unioil, shell or petron. this means same quality fuel....

so far wala naman problem car ko he he he.

[H1Tman]

just this morning, nagpakarga ko 500 pesos worth unleaded sa unioil. under observation pa.
