Is it ok to use the ethanol blends? I usually just goto any petrol station & sometimes use that Liberty ethanol cheapo petrol. So far cars ok & serviced regular.

i've got a fairly new jazz 1.5, auto. was initally driving on normal unleaded from caltex/safeway stores. i then tried the 95 octance from caltex/safeway petrol stores. that was crap, as there wasn't much difference.

then i noticed the car was idling rough. like at the traffic lights i the car would "vibrate more" making it feel like a mini massage.

then tried shell v power. yea there was a difference, little smoother, and a little less roughness at the traffic lights.

then tried BP 98. Best out of them. idle problems gone, feels heaps better and smoother. yet to try mobil though

the jazzes are factory tuned to 91 RON, so technically 91 RON would be sufficient, just make sure its of good quality fuel.

having said that, premium fuel wont hurt. i've tried various different fuels when i first bought the car, and found that i personally favor BP Ultimate. and since then, i've only BP Ultimate mine for 'that' many years.

My bad, I just realised this is the jazz forum part.

^ haha u're here too

its ok, altho its a jazz forum, fuel topic is still quite a 'general discussion' for Hondas.

[evoo]

wow... all of these petrols.. is dere truly a one that gives you more GAINS? im using V power now... but im considering a swap tomorrow as it will be cheap tuesday.. works out to be cheap movies aswell :P combo cant go wrong

quick question, is it true high octane gives more Kms to the car? i just bought a VTI jazz, and currently running on 91 Uld... I am looking forward to using higher octane fuel but bit worry it will drink even more... currently its on 8.8 / 100 ks........

Its a common misconception but higher octane fuel does not give better efficiency. It allows higher combustion ratios as it burns cleaner and more evenly,hence why it also helps reduce pre ignition (pinging) and things like that .

A denser fuel will give slightly better fuel economy,i think shell optimax used to be a denser fuel. I ran that once in my 2 stroke race go kart and it ran much richer than any other fuels,wasnt good.

To add to the poll,i cant keep up with all the different fuels today,i use bp ultimate in my b16
