Caltex Gold/Silver - what difference does it make?
Despite the slightly cheaper price of silver petrol, I notice that most Khmers seem to fill up their motos with the gold version. Which is better? Does it really make a difference to the way the bike runs, or to engine life? What should I be using in mine?
Yup, what B1 said.
My car is an old growler that runs better on Total regular than anything else here. I also seem to get more for my money at my local Total than I do at other places, although my judgment is based entirely on how much the needle moves... and at 1.36 a liter this morning, that's getting to be less and less.

True, 91 octane is best for most cars and bikes, but using 95 octane gas is a waste of $$ and won't yield more power or improved mileage. Higher octane gas is beneficial and needed only if the vehicles engine has a higher compression ratio of at least 11:1.bar one wrote:Basically the higher the octane rating the better the fuel burn and hence the detonation. All moto's and nearly all motorbikes are designed to run on low octane fuel.
The money you save should be spent on regular oil change - $4 for a moto at you local Caltext outlet - every 1,000km is good.
Good advice...save the extra cost for an oil change!
