by luckypiggy88 7th October 2009, 4:12 pm

Hello kakis,

Kindly share what is your preferred brand and petrol type (92, 95, 98, VPower/Techron)
you use? and which brand (SPC, Shell, Esso, Caltex) gives good discounts?

I know now Esso gives 14.5% discount for Citibank Dividend CC.
Collecting my ride next week.. thanks for sharing Which type of petrol and brand do you pump? 612380

Been using SPC for a long time. Might change, but test a few tanks after 1k servicing see my ride prefer which brand.

I alternate between 92 and 95.

Caltex 92 - Paid with Robinson's OCBC card.

ESSO 5000... 44L for $63.00 (after discount)...paid with Citibank Dividend card...

Am using Esso/Mobil with Citibank Dividend or DBS Esso Mastercard (depends on their promotions). Done some calculations, they seem to have the best rewards system.

Thanks kakis for the info.. I see most choose to pump 92..

is it not much difference in terms of performance and fuel efficiency
btwn 92 and higher grades like 95, 98 and VPower/Techron? or because it's cheaper? Which type of petrol and brand do you pump? Icon_biggrin

by **aural** 8th October 2009, 1:40 pm

Our car usually just need the min Ron to perform. But it is good to alternate a higher grade ron fuel occasionally to clear build up.

No special break-in period is needed. By
following a few simple precautions for the
first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to
the performance, economy and life of
your vehicle.
• Do not race the engine.
• While driving, keep your engine speed
(rpm, or revolutions per minute)
between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
• Do not maintain a single speed for long
periods of time, either fast or slow.
Varying engine speed is needed to
properly break-in the engine.
• Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies,
to allow the brakes to seat properly.
• Don't let the engine idle longer than 3
minutes at one time.
• Don't tow a trailer during the first 2,000

km (1,200 miles) of operation

How do u calculate? Reading the Average KM is not accurate - it is just an rough indication.

You are right. But I merely use it as a rough gauge.
