SPC 98- Bad power, bad consumption, loud engine
Shell 98 - Decent power, best consumption amount all, smooth quiet engine
Shell V Power - Very good power, O.K consumption, smooth but slightly louder engine
ESSO 8000 - Good power, good consumption, smooth engine

Been using ESSO 8000 'cause of the results of the fuel and the discounts i get, it's the best balance to me. If Shell had very good credit card discounts like ESSO i would be pumping Shell 98

I've been using 95 all along, for my latio and for my previous ride (Stream). For me, it's gd enough for me. Although compared to V power, of coz V power will be much smoother and gives me a better FC but the price diff, in the end makes no much diff. So i'll only pump V power whn I goes to Ipoh and in Msia, to cleanse the engine once in a while. If not, for me 95 is gd enough.

I pump either Caltex 92 or Shell 95. FC for both abt 13km/litre.

I tried Esso 92 & 95, Caltex 92 & 95 plus Shell 95 for 6 months when i first bot my car. No diff at all so i just stick to cheapest.

Personally i believe its all in a package, gd petrol, gd engine oil, gd spark plugs, gd tyres & with regular maintenance of ur vehicle makes drivin more pleasurable & enjoyable...
As for petrol, i believe it all depends on individual & also how deep ur pockets are...
If wanna pamper ur car pump V-power or Techron platinum but for latio ron 92 or 95 is good enuff oledi

Any petrol should be good enough for our latio. I personally use Esso 98 for its power. Felt slow with 95.

If u live near Serangoon or Geylang , the 2 Shell stations there got vouchers for 15% plus if u use UOB credit cards got another 5% rebate so this is 20% discount total.

Pump Esso and with DBS Esso card on top of station discount all add up I think 18%. But honestly this petrol companies are really making tonnes of money since they can afford to give up to so much discount, I heard some cards even more then 20%.  Why not just drop the price down.
