At least I know the RON 97 is going to priced nearer to the V Power. Fuel tests have been conducted in Singapore magazines but they don't really give a very good picture as every car is not tuned the same. I think it is important to go to a station that provides good unadulterated fuel taking into consideration that there were articles over the years of fuel that have been tampered with for better profit margins.

Best case, put it in the header. (2) Paid posts should not affect search engines - use nofollow attribute to bypass pagerank (3a) if you're going include your opinion in a sponsored conversation - then make it YOUR opinion, positive or negative (3b) if the client demands a positive entry - then Don't speak/write in your "voice".

I kinda feel the "cleaning power" of Caltex, maybe its just in my mind. But I have to use Shell instead of Caltex because there is just too little Caltex station. And the nearest one is just too far away. So please set up more Caltex... particularly Balakong area :D I like Caltex pretty much, I hate Shell.

I suppose the Techron available here in M'sia is refined in some refinery locally and whatever additives added here as well. So can we expect the same quality of Techron here in M'sia as that of US? Is there anyone that checks and test the Techron here to conform to that of US? I wonder if the same quality of Techron is available here in Caltex Malaysia.
