You will be okay if you do your homework before just going with the flow.

@Hezz,when I grow up (heheheheheh),I want to drive that. I wonder why they dont do an auto version of these...the 130bhp engine - estate,all black,with RS4 grills and the 19' rims....

just to state but the least ...wewe wach porojo ndugu yangu.. why do you want to blow my cover! Billy goat ilifanya nini?

I think we need a paradigm shift in Kenya.. why can't our engineers make a solar vehicle or mass manufacture electric ones..The country would retain so much Foreign currency and pay kina Pondi and jammo who own KPLC and KENGEN.. i'm I asking too much of our engineers? Accountants are trying to Kenaynise IAS and IFRS,Doctors are slowly begining to accept herbs do actually work if administered well,Artists are doing kenyan music,others are painting matatus like there is no tomorrow. what are engineers doing in this country to make anytihing Kenyan? well after the Nyayo Pioneer Mishap.. the thing stalled when it was being flagged off hehehe ... magical Kenya

Wewe @rant.

Here is the reality illustrated in an example - I own an opel astra 1.8 ecotec. I use kawaida fuel that u r trying to trash. The service interval from manufacturer with current mileage is 9,000KM. when new - 12,000KM. But I know we have a problem in the country,so do the serice sooner inspite of using high grade oils etc. Actually the biggest problem I see here is not fuel,but our dusty environment. Most pple even now are driving 'severely starved engines' - starved of air,by choked air filers. That is the biggest issue as far as I am concerned. When I blow air into the filter and the air box,I usually see a huge difference in both consumption and acceleration. I service sooner to avoid regrets,but still use highest possible grade of oil - it's stil cheap anyway - not synthetic though.

I know we dont have high octane fuels,super-low sulphur diesel etc,but we can still make do with what we have without much of a problem. a fleet of about 60 landcruisers and many nissan minibuses from a famous company in town are still running despite 300,000 plus kms on the diesel engines....usiogope mafuta sana,but always 'kunywa' at a proper station where quality is not in doubt.

Bro/sis,post is edited.

I dont ever mean to insult anyone. Please accept my apology offered in humility. I believe in this - as much as it is within my ability,to live in peace with all and to do unto others only what I would want reciprocated.

Kindly also note that I am not arguing,just expressing opinions which may differ with another person's - and that is healthy in a forum such as this. Let everyone know the pros and also the cons.

@Hezz

which is a good service station? i wonder if the reputation of the station makes a differnce. i understand most of the adulteration happens in transit and not at the station. the truck driver will not give a damn if the delivery is to a reputable or a not-so-reputable station!

is my thinking right?
