I dont know dude, all of them taste the same for me

Diesel guys who run on vegetable oil: “Fuel is Fuel”

I finished my high school graduation project two months ago. The purpose of it was to make a racing fuel by myself. My teacher knew someone who works at Shell, and next thing I know I'm working together with Shell on this project. I ended up using MTBE too, which was very expensive to get, and after I calculated the perfect amount of additive MTBE needed for my fuels, I had to use special safety equipment to blend it with the base fuel I used. Over at Shell they were so impressed that they offered to run tests on the fuels at their refinery in Rotterdam (NE). They tested it and they gave it it's own lable, which was very cool. They told me that my fuel was of very high quality, and they could sell it for a very high price per liter. That is also the reason it is not available at gas stations, because very few people would actually use fuel that is that expensive. But after all, I scored a 10 on my project so I'm happy :).

I just learned more than my entire sophomore year of high school.

Lol, 3 dollars a gallon, glad to not live in California 😂 Update 6/3/2021: Paid $3.91/g for 93 the other day, when i made my original comment i was paying around $1.70

These ads just get better and better everyday lmao, surprised future jobe wasn't there

This is a wonderful video. I work at a small engine shop and love learning how to the world around us works. I have never seen this subject broken down into such detail and I plan on using this info to better educate my customers and myself. Thank you so much! I love the channel and would love to meet you guys one day!

This mini series is crazy interesting ! Also it opens so much room for new content ! Now you're doing it on liquids and stuff, but then you could do wraps, tires, and even car parts ! Kinda brings me back to the science garage days, loving the science and technical side of it ! Don't be afraid to include more ! Also thank you for including dirtbikes in there, really loved it, a lot of us ride those things.

How about 100LL that you can get at small airports

I’m still learning more from this show and Donut media than I am in college right now.

I just realized why my aunt from California thought has prices were cheap in florida currently. She came to visit and the gas was 2.84 and she was like,”damn that’s cheap.” And I told her,”it’s usually in the 1.90 range but has price went up

For the non-American people: 8,115 euro per liter for the racefuel.

“Cmon over to the donut factory, I’ll let you smell my can”

Yo he still got that $3 gas?

lol @ $3/gal gasoline

“This gas costs $3.70 a gallon.” me: Cries in European

Donut’s ads are probably the only ones I watch because they’re classic 😂

Plot twist: the cheap gas costs $37 a gallon now

Once I was on a road trip with a couple friends, we took turns filling up the tank, my turn rolled around and I put premium in it, the guy who owned the car was blown away by the change in mileage he got from that.

Everyone that watches Chris fix, “Oh I know who’s wrong, I know, I know.”

Y’all remember when the logo was pink, real og status

Jeremiah looks like the son of Daniel Tosh from Tosh.O on Comedy Central. Lol love the channel, guys!

Great video! As a Shell engineer, the quality of the gas is important (use Top Tier) but the ECM in your car will only generate the highest power with the Octane fuel that it is designed for. Using any other octane is simply a waste of money.

Dads when the oil price increase by 0.01$ I’m never going to financially recover from this

This would have been a great science garage episode

Damn he just became my favorite knowing that he rides dirt bikes

I've had dozens of high performance sport bikes, quads, and SxS's over the years. The only ones I've ever ran special fuel in was the Banshees. I'd buy VP leaded race gas for them, not so much for the octane but the lead for extra lubricant. I've had Banshee engines last years and years and still have spec compression.

Day 267 of asking James to do an Up to speed on his Dad

$3.70 is the "cheap gas" *laughs in midwestern* (it's like $2.05 a gal. currently)

remember when gas was $3.70 a gallon yeah good times

To think you could get gas for 3.70 just a year ago

Wrx owner: I’m not sure why my turbo has been acting up Also wrx owner: *pumping 87 into their tank*

“This gas cost $3.70 a gallon” 🥲😅

"imagine calling something liquid a gas" - Jeremy Clarkson

Time to remake this video.

God I miss when gas was less that $3.00

DANG! Gas is expensive af out in California, we’re about $2 less in Colorado right now.

I'm surprised you didn't go over what engine knock is at all.

Gas a year later: vp racing is the economical choice

I used to go get AV gas from the airport for my 125. Made a noticeable difference but I had to mix with pump gas otherwise it would flame out all the time sometimes randomly or not run at all just about. Even half and half was too much but found around 30-35% AV gas was perfect mix. Ended up getting a CDI that was tuned for race fuel, didn't notice top end difference but better down lower but most importantly didn't flame out.

I honestly don't mind watching a full commercial video from Donut, they make really good ads

8:55 lmfao I really enjoyed the format of this video with all the science explained simply in practice

This didn't age well

I’ll simply for everyone: *_Race gas make car go NEYOUMMMM_* _Bad gas make car go_ *BOOM*

if the chemistry classes i took in high school and college were as interesting as this video, i probably would've hated class less

Is anyone here after the new gas prices, I was wondering how he found gas for 3 bucks

Keep up the good work guys hope all of Donut is health and safe

Fun Fact: The Mercedes G63 6x6 has the lowest miles per gallon than any other vehicle

That feel when the cheapest pump fuel has the highest octane. E85 ftw

When he said hey Jeremy I freaked out yo!! I wasn’t focused on the video but lol I am now!! 😂😂🤣

I remember seeing this Chanel start up and it has really took off I love everything y’all do

This took me back to that first episode of Science Garage, I bet Bart is somewhere getting a warm fuzzy and nostalgia.

"Thanks to Racyon for sponsoring this episode of Bumper2Bumper."

Not only compression The timing curve makes a difference also

"my name isn't Jeremy it's Jeremiah" I understand that sentiment

Well, when I drink racing fuel I find it to have a smoother more rich taste than standard gas. Oh wait... is that not what we’re talking about?

*_I love how the rest of the crew also cracks up at _**_9:00_* _"Come on over to the donut factory.. I'll let ya' sniff my can."_ 😂

🤣🤣🤣 "Come on over and I'll let you smell my can!" Butt Ether!!! 🤣🤣🤣

At the pump it says regular, mid grade, and premium, so it’s easy to assume one is better than the other. That being said, is it ok to have half a tank of 87 and then fill the rest up with 93? Or should you always just stick to one the whole time?

I wanted to run vp race fules in my dirt bike then I looked and saw “5 Gallons for $120” and I was like hello pump gas

“I’ll let you sniff my can” is one of the best jokes I’ve ever heard from uncle jerry. And he’s had some zingers!!!

Hey does this apply for 2 stroke as well? Asking for for a friend 😉 Never mind you answered my question I needed to hold my horses and keep watching! Thanks Jeremiah 🤘

In current times they should change the title to expensive vs even more expensive gas

California: 3 dollars a gallon Missouri: 90 cents a gallon

Higher octane is simply to prevent pinking/pre-detonation on high compression engines cos the heat generated by the compression can cause the fuel to ignite before the spark, kinda like a diesel engine, messing up timing and messing up the pistons and valves. Edit - I've only got about halfway through, but I'm shocked that wasn't mentioned already. Edit 2 - got to the end, but literally 1 mention of knock (which is the same as pinking/detonation). I appreciate the explanation of the higher base stock quality etc for race fuel though.

VP makes everything from stuff for top fuel to stuff for RC racing and every other motorsport too!

my man dropping the "now-and-days" at 6:55. That's some 87 octane wrong vernacular right there ;)

Thought this was money pit when I got the notification. I’m very tired.

Killing it with that Jazz workout! That's how to keep someone hooked and not skipping around your videos.

In europe, slovenia at least we have min 95 octane with 100 being high octane

The ads guys!! 😂😂😂 just as entertaining as the main content!! Lol

Some say that donut has been working for the last 3 months to make an up to speed on james' dad. But the episde is taking so much time that they don't have time to make other episodes.

I love what Bumper 2 Bumper has changed into. Before Jerry it was just looking at cool cars that people have made, which was great, but I love the Science Garage vibes that Jerry’s Bumper has sort of brought back.

QUESTION: So is there any difference in gas mileage between a gas like Chevron (with Techroline) and your basic "cheap" gas at your basic mini Mart?

The fact you can speak so smoothly whilr riipping it through a track is a testament to youre stamina and experience.

The PRICE?!

This cheap vs expensive series is dope lovin it keep it up donut 😁

yall make great sponsorship clips, funny as hell lol

Can you break down e85 I own a 2018 Silverado 2500hd its a 6L gasser e85 compatible I run it when I tow my trailer because I feel like it runs better and has more power I know its used in racing and high performance cars but does it really do anything for those of us in my situation or similar

Thanks for the video Donut media! With the expenses research and development costs as well as others listed, but the main one left out is the business's big profit margins due to it being for racing related they can really mark it up.

its 0:04 at Indonesia this vid is my bedtime stories hell yeah

Your ads are actually worth watching... Thank you 🙏 your ads are literally worth watching without even the video 😂📸

Half the fun of going to an IMSA race is that VP racing fuel smell

You guys are killing the "imbedded advertisement" game.

Me, who doesn't even drive: "interesting"

Surprisingly informative video. Thank you.

I wonder if he actually has an in depth understanding of chemistry or if this is all just good research.

Right In between my online classes good timing team👍🏻😂

So people telling me to put 91 in my harley have been wrong this whole time!? 😡

Can you be the one who does the sponsor ads from now on? Cause my man, you rocked it harder than another youtuber who does sponsorship videos, and your energy and wit of this one made me want a channel of something like that for every sponsor videoXD

So let's say I took the 119 Octane Gas that you put in your camaro and I used it in a turbo 11:5:1 compression car, would it help with detonation even tho the engine is rated for 91 octane?

This is the closest thing we can get to science garage😭

I will forever support Donut because they add the "ad timer" bar at the bottom of the screen. God I love you guys. I bought 3 shirts.

i love your videos!! very informative

Used to run VP C16 in my Corvette when racing it. Was always fun to spend $80 for a few gallons of gas.

That's pretty cool that VP did not sponsor the video, but gave a free can

“There is no difference” video ends

Good watch! Thank you

What about my 2013 Caprice with the L77 that is cammed and I run e85 all the time? By your video, I should be running some additive fuel periodically?
