AndrewPKYap,
I haven't tried Mobil, so I'm not too sure.. But I can tell you that when i pump Shell V-Power, I can really feel the difference in the car's response and it seems to give very very slight better mileage too. But It is really TOOOO EXPENSIVE and i have no choice but revert back to Shell 95, which i think is rather similar to Shell 98 (my own personal opinion). -

I drive Honda Fit but my FC quite poor leh. i constantly use shell 98, max hit 13. something. now worse, only 12. but due to expensive increase in ptrol, now switch to SPC 98.

was getting 9km/litre (caltex platinum) on my DC5R on normal/occasional spirited driving and i already tot that was bad. -

Everyone drives different cars and have different driving habits. Maybe more useful info would be if u have tried different brands/ron of fuel and share your FC?
I've tried Caltex Plat, now trying Shell VP. Will report when I have figures for comparison. -
is Shell the most expensive fuel around Singapore compared to Caltex, SPC and Esso Mobil?
-
all the petrol stations has same pump price and minimum 5% discount. only diff is Shell V Power and Caltex Platinum (most ex in the market).Originally posted by djugashvili:is Shell the most expensive fuel around Singapore compared to Caltex, SPC and Esso Mobil?
SPC is the cheapest i think.
at least, it dont have loyalty points and gives you a cash discount (at least 7%).
if factor in loyalty points, the calculations is very complicated. -
SAF Land rover...
i dont know anything about it...
diesel...

Yeah,... but Shell is generally more expensive than Caltex, isn't it?Originally posted by 105090:all the petrol stations has same pump price and minimum 5% discount. only diff is Shell V Power and Caltex Platinum (most ex in the market).

Why do u wanna switch away from Mobil?Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:I am thinking of switching from Mobil to Shell... what do you guys think of that? -
hmm maybe it's time I should switch to SPC...Shell uses those perks to attract people...
btw, are those 3M fuel additive really useful? -
General feel is that SPC gives less power and mileage.Originally posted by djugashvili:hmm maybe it's time I should switch to SPC...Shell uses those perks to attract people...
btw, are those 3M fuel additive really useful?
Also read that fuel additives do work, although one trick is to use half a can rather than the full can per tank. Reason is that half a can gives the full benefit of the additive already,... -
so that's why Shell preach on their better mileage is true? as the Chinese saying goes: yi fen qian yi fen huo....hee...
hmm those additives are to be use based on full tank hor...do they really clean the engine and restore power? -
Gas at the station?
The first one, on Jurong Island, cost $2.6 million to build. The second station, coming up next year on the mainland, is likely to cost much more.
But the refuelling infrastructure for compressed natural gas (CNG) might not have to be built from scratch and cost so much if the government can eventually strike a deal with petroleum companies here.
The National Environment Agency (NEA) has been exploring with petrol stations the possibility of dispensing CNG at service stations, Environment and Water Resources Minister Yaacob Ibrahim told Parliament.
These include Singapore Petroleum Company, Caltex and Shell.
"The oil companies are still considering the idea of installing CNG dispensers in their service stations," said the NEA, which has been in talks with the companies since 2002.
These efforts are in addition to the government's co-funding support for private sector initiatives to build new CNG refuelling stations.
The NEA's Innovation for Environmental Sustainability Fund has helped to co-fund the start-up costs of the Jurong Island outlet, the only CNG station in Singapore so far.
Two more stations are to be operational next year, also with the help of government funding. Smart Automobile is setting up a station at Mandai by January and another at Serangoon North by the end of 2008. Earlier cost estimates of the Mandai Link station range from $8 million to $12 million, which includes the cost of the land.
If CNG refuelling facilities can be incorporated into existing petrol stations, the cost to car owners of going green could be further lowered.
Currently, the green vehicle rebate, introduced in 2001 to lower the cost differential between green vehicles and conventional vehicles, gives motorists a 40-per-cent discount on the additional registration fee up till 2009.
As of end May this year, there are 339 CNG vehicles on the road.
"I hope that moving forward, more Singaporeans will opt for CNG or other green vehicles," said Dr Yaacob, who was responding to a parliamentary question.
"As more CNG vehicles come onto the road, the demand for refuelling stations will grow and this in turn will encourage the private sector to provide such infrastructure."
CNG vehicles are environmentally friendly as they produce 76 per cent less carbon monoxide and about 99 per cent less of the cancer-causing chemical benzene than diesel-powered vehicles. -
Let me teach you guys a way to save petrol... wah laoz the amount of petrol you save is crazy if you drive 30-40 km (from Changi to Tuas a day!)
What I do is this, when traveling at the highway, I will try to be in neutral gear as much as possible.
I accelerate and then "free gear" (go into neutral) and let the car just cruise on its own momentum. You will be surprised. When you go into neutral, the car accelerate further before slowing down.
If you are driving auto trans... count to three when you put back to D (drive) before you step on the accelerator pedal (3 secs for gears to engage).
Of course you will take more time to reach your destination... but if there is a jam, the time difference is the same and you save petrol...
oh... practice first and get used to it before you do that for real... -
Dunno leh... always pump at different petrol kiosk...
-
