Would it be worth gassing up with Petron Blaze? I believe that's 100 octane.

Blaze would be to much. 95RON will be just fine (even for turbo engines). I have never filled up my turbo engines any fuel higher than 97RON.

One more thing: i cant seem to find the Android Auto app in the Google Play Store. Whenever i search for it, so many other apps show up in the list but i have no idea which one it is. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

I think it's because it's not officially available in the Philippines yet.

Nope. Not even 95 RON is necessary.

I have over 100,000 km of data across different fuel brands, different octane ratings, different traffic conditions, and different cars.

Not a single car had knocking issues with 91 RON. Not a single car had a discernible difference in consumption because of higher octane.

The biggest factor for fuel consumption is your traffic condition. The difference between 14 kph average speed and 16 kph average speed is already about 0.5-1 km/L. That's a bigger difference than trying out different brands of fuel.

Premium fuel has better additives with better cleaning agents than regular fuel, but additives comprise a very, very, very small percentage (less than 1%) of the total volume of fuel that in the end, it doesn't even matter.

I worked with the petroleum industry for most of my working life and here's straight talk for you - we try to make you think that the difference between regular fuel and premium fuel is bigger than it really is. Why? Because we make more money out of you when you buy premium fuel.

Now, knowing those facts and data that I laid out for you, you decide if you still think it's worth it. Some people don't mind paying P1.00-P2.50 per liter more just for that warm fuzzy feeling they get because they bought higher-tier fuel.

agree!

nothing says you're an idiot more than filling up w/ higher RON than your engine requires

As for my case, most of the time i'm gassing up 95 RON fuel. Because there's a Petron gas station near the area where 95 RON fuel only costs around 34-36 pesos :D

**AC_23** · July 24th, 2017 08:51 AM

thanks for this info Sir Jut! now, i'll be going to 91 RON starting my next full tank. ahaha! i just recently tried Blaze over the weekend due to long ride going to Zambales. i did not feel any difference between XCS and Blaze. 91 RON really would be enough next time and since almost all the time, i'm on city driving.
