You’ve probably heard or seen it all before – homemade, unscientific tests to compare different fuel brands (such as filling them in plastic bottles, seeing how long they burn), the long-standing rumour that that you should always fuel up in the morning, etc. Are any of these myths true?
Well, here’s your chance to find out the difference between myths and facts, as we at paultan.org will be hosting exclusive interview sessions with experts from Petronas. So if you have any questions regarding fuel, automotive lubricants or even fuel technology in general, now’s the time to ask away.
Your questions can range from simple concerns (i.e. are all fuels available in Malaysia the same? Should I use RON 95 or RON 97?) to intricate technical subjects (i.e. how can fuel/lubricant affect my car’s efficiency? Does fuelling up in the morning give me more fuel?). Clear or complex, we’ll get the experts to answer them.
Submit your queries in the embedded form below. And yes, we’re pretty sure the experts will be happy to clear the air regarding the recent “rounding-up” issue too. :)
The answer from petronas “expert” would probably be as bias as any PR gimmick around. How about a genuine survey asking the real independent expert?
Sure, as soon as you sponsor the independent expert’s consultation fee.
Not sure why but the form asks me to enter a positive number @ question 8. Hmm…..
yeah..me tooo, can somebody from paultan explain?
simple answer = ALL fuels EXCEPT BHP come from same refineries in malaysia, only additive package is different, quality of the fuel is the same , if bad ALL bad.
except BHP!
thumbs up
Wrong…there is 6 refinery in boleh 2 is control by petronas, 1 by petronas/philip, 1 by shell, 1 by petron n 1 by Tipco…1 by shell close already n 1 is under construction by petronas
Bean counters’ questions and answers.
Pay peanuts for monkeys.
Your questions for PETRONAS???? Please enter a positive number??? fenin2..
is this surveymonkey working or not? Monkeys handling the surveys, is it? tried many times it did not go through. anyway Paultan my questions:
1. Why it is so hard for Petronas to supply good quality Euro 4 and above petrol? I don’t see high investment is a good excuse.Oil companies will always make profits. Losses are because of poor greedy management only.
2. I once read that putting few mL of acetone into petrol will gives better mileage per liter. There are alot of articles discussing this.
WTH
Please enter a positive number.
Can anyone tell me why they need so much of our personal information just to ask 2 questions that may or may not be answered??
Simple. So people won’t abuse the system and shout profanity at them through the survey. If people were allowed to just drop a question or two anonymously, what do you think will happen? The internet is full of scumbags and jerkwads.
And that isn’t a lot of personal information at all that they’ve required. Just 3. The lubricant part is just a survey.
Sorry. Let me explain what happened.
The previous version of the form actually had fields like NRIC number and mailing address.
Those are the fields that we require for our Movie Contest. When we copied over the form for this, we forgot to remove the unnecessary fields.
Those fields have been removed.
Ah, I see. I was late to the party then.
I’ve posted same question as “why?” but not approved to be published here i guess. And I guess even this question will be barred. So much for freedom of expression eh..
That’s hilarious. Same question as “why?” but yours isn’t approved, then you say something about censorship and freedom of expression. You see the contradiction there?
It sometimes takes a while for them to approve new posts. Not sure why. And if you’re not a member, you can’t see whether your post is still pending approval or not.
So, sit tight.
Obviously, that’s the exact point. My post before the last wasn’t published. Hence the ‘no freedom of expression’ comment. I’m at lost how’s that contradicting. Anyway it’s amended now so all good.
On another note, I do feel BHP is the one fuel which is slightly different, at least in the diesel quality department. And I remember reading in paultan sometime back that an existing diesel brand is already close to Euro 4 spec. I’m guessing its them ;)
Hafiz Aziz ke yg answer soklan ni sume?
