E10 Ethanol, bad for your engine & economy? [MERGED]

Ako siguro Caltex Silver dahil 5% rebate ng HSBC MC. Sa Petron kasi,- only 3% rebate ang Petron- BPI MC (unless the bill is >=P1000 where you can get freebies now from Chowking).

It will be a loss for my Citi-Shell Visa.

Dami mong credit card ah!

Well I don't have HSBC and Shell-Citi so no go at Caltex and Shell. Petron-BPI lang ako and BDO so no choice but Petron.

E10 - 10% Ethanol; 90% Gasoline
Shell's Regular Unleaded is available on selected Gas Stations only.

kesyo may E10 o wala, ang gusto ko ay 20 pesos per liter!!!! hehe

**woohoo** · July 21st, 2009 12:31 PM

Nag-e-evaporate lang yata yung ethanol nung Petron Xtra Unleaded na kinarga ko, e. I'm worried, baka sa tagal bago maubos nung isang full tank dahil sa ikli ng daily trips ko, baka mag-attract lang ng moisture yung ethanol at mangalawang lang ang tank ko.

Kaya nag-switch ako sa XCS. (Sigh) The price of peace of mind...

Whether it's good news or bad news, would depend on your point of view.

It is possible to phase-out the carbureted engines...

The government has no political b*lls. That is why they are resorting to these types of subtle actions.... Afraid to do the right thing upfront for the right reasons......

BTW, is the ethanol now locally manufactured, or are we importing it, too?
