Recommended Petrol Refilling For Forte

Hi Bros/Sis,
Any best recommended petrol for refilling on Forte? in terms of pricing, power and services ie.. discount or rebate? Thanks

The petrol with most discount is always recommended for our wallet.

mine drinks vpower

vpower Sg or JB? Your car very good life wor. Mine drinks Ron95 mostly and vpower twice so far only.

in SG, for me i stick to RON95... any brands except SPC...
got bad experienced previously with the SPC95... my small bike loss power... i prefer CALTEX but pump ESSO/SHELL due to discounts...
in MY, RON97, in order of preference, PETRONAS, CALTEX, SHELL, ESSO...

mine drinks 92. Best for the pocket and power wise no significant diff, or at least I cannot feel at all.

esso got lots of discount for me. citibank esso card.

caltex 98 and 95 for mine =)

i have been using Esso 5000. FC so-so......will be trying 2000 for next few pumps and monitor.

caltex for me too... caltex best

i only feed her esso 2000.

is 14%. If u ask them to source insurance company for u and you will get additional 2% more. So total u will get 16% discount. But there is a admin charge $2 every month for viewerchoices caltex card.

my car pump syn5000 like drinking water. 13.3L/100km so jialat

Mine quite consistent about 10L/100 km for my previous few pumps on Esso 5000...

Current tank pump Esso 2000... Wanna see if there's any diff...
if no diff, may as well save the extra $$ for my own drinks...
hahahaha....

I pump Esso using CitiBank Esso Priviledge card linked to Citibank Dividend Card...

Got 5% (station d/c) + 5% (Dividend card d/c)...
On top of this got 5% Dividend card cash rebate (must accumulate more than $50 then they will send a cheque to you...)

Total effective d/c is 14.5%

If consider Esso Smiles points earn, add another 3.2%
Cos every $1.25 spent (after d/c), earns you 1 smiles pt...

So the highest you can get is 14.5% + 3.2% = 17.7%

i feel for me...

in boleh land both shell Red Tab n Caltex Gold give me the same mileage...

yet to try Boleh land v-power ...

very disappointed with 2.0SX, did not expect so bad. SE said 10 to 11km/l which I already heartache. When I get my car in Oct... the hole in my pocket will get bigger and bigger over a period... I get 2.0SX is because of the cruise control and sunroof.... think of it again... abit regret.

today interesting... just finish Esso 5000 and get into Caltex try out Techron 95... the performance seems better and i`m shock that i @@ e ODO my FC is 21l/100km oMx...

Huh....thats terrible FC !

4.76km/l.... that's Bugatti Veryon's average FC.

do u reset the meter bro...? the FC meter will adjust after certain distance...
even if u reset the FC meter will show more than the average consumption b4 it normalise...
i too was shock previously... hehe... but then i learnt the limitation of the FC meter...

how to you reset the odo meter?

I think not referring to reset the odo meter. should be the FC gauge meter.

the FC meter will readjust when u pump new load... dun worry... give it a while an it'll normalise... currently averaging 8l/100k (lowest 7.5) (1.6sx a)... quite happi wit myself cos havent broken the 1k mark.. of course i drive like an old auntie but what the hay...

anyways just wanted to arsk every1 how cum no-one like to recommend shell? any specific reason other than they're big time players and discount not so good? cos esso station quite far fr my place.. an on the hoof when u run out damn diff to find... plus i dun have the all impt discount card.. acutally i would pump spc but realli leh.. rem weak leh... car's performance will feel damn anemic one... tried wit a friends car..

wow mott3h, your FC is good !
heard that the FC will improve after servicing !

haha thanks but i REALLI drive like an old auntie... cruising's around 70-80 tops. my avg spd on the meter was 33 until i reset

actually quite refreshing... last time i realli drive like one mad man... specially when i comin back fr CFO's place in west all the way back to mine in central... chiong ++ on pie.. jam brake @ BKE exit then chiong again... now own car slowly slowly take my time.. i mean not past first k can even rev so dun bother la... just hug left lane.. Quite shiok actually.. just enjoy the forte ambience!

PS: anyone else feel the forte's blind spot damn HUGE??? have to like 180 my head or sure miss car/bike... saang to spoil the wing morror with the convex lens oso.. sigh...

mine is 2.0SX (A).. not as bad as Fransge.. can get 9.5-11km per litre.. depending on what kinda road condition n how u drive..

stev85x wrote:how to you reset the odo meter?

once u get into the FC meter display... press and hold the trip button...
or another way... just let it be... it will auto adjust itself...

Watch this..and the last sentence the guy said, says it all.

Eh..how to embed Youtube videos.. hmm

So for forte I guess even 92 shouldn't be much diff compared to 95, 98 or those premium petrol?

Caltex 95 for me... 40L for $65 (after 12%discount).
current avg FC on display = 8.6/100km

Yes. Our manual states our car is tuned for 92 oct. Anything more is a waste of money, but its your car and your money.

yeah.. after shell gold, esso 5000, no diff leh.. better off to 2000....
on esso due to cc but think must apply for all perks card to get max...
any sifu here could recommend it seems citi dividen is best? looking at smile card too...anyone with details?

... anything lower then 95 is doing harm to yr engine guys, better fuel have better cleaning effect on yr engine. low grade petrol will make yr engine become older faster as their cleaning addictive is lesser, i once seen a engine with full coated carbon all round the engine about 0.1cm thick... cheap stuff doesn't means good stuff. pay a little more or reasonable price make me happy & my ride more smooth & cleaner.

Spore's fuel is safe and clean. Don't think there is any diff between 92, 95 and 98 in terms of the cleaning addictive. The diff is only the octane number based on the engine's needs. IMHO, 92 is good enough for forte as the engine is tuned to "drink" 92 fuel.

but actually, 95 & 98 is much cleaner. 92 not so clean its thru, lower grade fuel also burn faster. unless u pump 92 with other addictive which will be not economical tho.

to each is own i believe.
i did pump a small amount of 95 over the weekend. the diff i can feel is:

1) my pocket more pain
2) it accelerate abit faster.

as for the engine scum thing with 92, don't think has much effect, cos even the people who play with cars (for that I mean people who overhaul engine) for years cannot tell significant diff. I was only recommend higher octane petrol once awhile.

my personal fuel consumption over 2 months did not show that 92 grade affects FC for our forte though. so i think its rather safe.

but will pump higher octance when price is right. I don't work in petrol company so I won't get that money back. hahaha, so what is good for me is good for my car, cos my car is my servant and not vice versa.

+1, unless price is right..
ill go with the 92.. but y many is saying stay away from SPC? tot they give good disc now..
any advice? any idea whose co fuel spc got supply from?

I think one can feel the engine performance in the long run (like 5 years and more) ?

If one is intending to change cars 3-4 years down the road......then i think will not get to feel much different.
If intending to drive all the way (aka 10 years), then maybe can feel the difference (engine noise, performance, etc) ? Forte is still very new so still hard to say.
I got a friend who drives a 5 year old Vios and he pumps Vpower cos he claims that it sort of like 'protect' and 'cleanse' the engine. And i think it indeed have not much noise compared to another 3year old Vios who pumps 95.
But come to think of it, i think still depends on how a person drives too bah ? And also have to go for regular maintenance too.

So far have tried 92 on 2 tanks, pick-up is indeed a tat slower than the previous 95.

Just my opinion.

that could be true.. since octane is giving the heat.. and therefore combustion power.. not sure if engine is cooler ? heee....

When it comes to octane number... it really does not matter to maintenance or use in the long run. If we happen to pump RON 88 then the engine will die in under 1 minute, because it will detonate before the spark plug sparks.

I read before in a forum, the high pressure engines like the one in the Honda Integra runs at a higher compression than our Forte engines, so it explains why that Integra model needs RON 95, but if their engine has a knock sensor, then it will reduce the air-fuel mixture to an extent that it will not detonate easily, but leading to lousy performance. Those cars will feel a difference when you pump different fuels.
