Unless Shell is the same price or cheaper than your cheapest local gas, you're overpaying for gas. You probably have an older car with carbon buildup on the injectors/spark plugs. All you need is a $5 fuel additive once in a while that will give you the same results.

Interesting you said to trust the high-side of the oil on the dipstick.

The high side looks inconsistent and twice the height while the low side is perfectly solid to the top of the hash marks (or dot, or line, etc.).

You missed his point. Scotty’s point is you don’t have to worry about getting bad gas in the USA usually because if you did it would mean the whole refinery was contaminated which isn’t likely. Additives make a difference but no gas company is going to sabotage their gas. His point wasn’t that additives and gas companies are the same, it was that you’re not likely to get bad gas bc most of it comes from the same play within a specific area.

Scotty: Thanks as always and keep up the great work!! Having worked in the oil refining business for a major firm plus have known many friends in the oil industry would disagree somewhat with your take on this. You are correct as to gas quality from the major refiners. The key difference however between the majors and the "no names" is the additive package. One reason the gas from the "no names" is cheaper is this gas is often missing many of those additives. The so-called "Top Tier" gas (all major refiners such as Chevron, BP, Exxon, etc.) will give you cleaner intake valves with less deposits according to a friend with AAA when they evaluated different gasoline brands.

I'm a Shell V-power (93 octane) fan and various stations around the Midwest have always performed well. I tuned my SVT Focus with it and filled up with 93 from another (admittedly not popular brand) station once on the other side of Chicago and was pinging like crazy to the point the knock sensor was backing off timing to save the motor. Had to detune and run through the entire tank before I could reload the custom tune...and yes I tried an octane booster was a complete waste of 5 bucks did nothing even after driving a bit to prime the fuel line. Basically if you tune a vehicle on the edge of 93 octane (or using fuel that actually measures beyond 93 since that is only the MINIMUM guaranteed rating) you risk issues if you go to shitty fuel that is even slightly less octane than what you are tuned for.

Good question. But I assume if they're not being honest then every station be claiming their product as top tier also. Their gasoline supplier may also be ticked when they pay for only ordinary gas. What may be a greater issue is if their certification of calibration on their pumps are expired.

@originalMP3com247 3 жыл бұрын

Top Tier additive packages have to pass extreme industry-standard testing. There is scientific data backing each pack before it goes to market. Although each company might have slightly different ingredients, they all pass testing and usually blow out the detergency (alkylate), friction modifiers and other stuff. For example, one company formulates and tests Costco, Shell and Exxon additive chemistries. It's manufactured at their plants and transported by railcar to the respective company facilities. This company also happens to make WD40

We sold 3 different brands over the decades. Texaco, Amoco and Citgo. I could not tell the difference overall 8n any of them. Actually Citgo got the gas out of the local Marathon or Shell terminals. Since a Johnny come lately came and went with a new gas station across the street it was pretty much game over for us. Now I put whatever is cheaper in the tank and have had no issues. Gas is gas. Buy the octane.

Hey Scotty love you program always helpful, because I know absolutely nothing. I have an 2002 Tahoe and this thing is a beast. Transmissions not slipping, starts up every time. I just did the seafoam combo 1 in the fuel 2 sprayed after the mass air filter. What else should I do that you recommend should I change the transmission fluid? Or just leave it like you always say it was not broke don't fix it? Thanks again for your program and probably listen to everyday.

I find a difference with different brands of gasoline in In Canada. I get greater efficiency and power with Shell 91 VPower vs all the other brand we have. This was for my TSX. Even better then Sunoco/ petro Canada ultra 94. When I used Costco and other brands I would loose 50-120 km of range per tank. TSX required premium and I fed her that, after 420k still running sting on original power train and exhaust system. I do need to change the flex pipe but for now it has a nice sound. One thing I learned from this car is to replace regularly worn parts with high quality ones(ball joints, tie rods etc). My babe keeps running her name is Gurtrude

@@gab3tipopop The Chevron the station I had used closed down due to FWY expansion so I began using Shell because they were closer than the next Chevron station. After about 6 months of use - my check engine light came on. It's a 95 Ford Escort (pre OBDII) and using a OBDI doesn't really tell you anything and I was too cheap to take it to a mechanic. So, I clean out the throttle-body (Seafoam) after-which I took it on the FWY for a bit. This helped for about 3 months and then the check engine light came on again... repeated the process with the seafoam, did the FWY thing again but this time I took it to a Chevron station further down the road and filled it up. Check engine light hasn't come back on yet and this was about a year and half ago. I guess the additives that Chevron uses (Techron) just works better in my Ford.

My mechanic told me to use a higher quality gasoline like Shell and have used it ever since (15 years now) and have over 100,000 on 3 vehicles now without issues.....worth spending the "2 cents" more.....

Wrt Subaru, the two 2.0 L FA turbos I owned ran very dirty (sooty tailpipes & sparkplugs) and built up plenty of carbon in the intake manifolds. Both had problems around 20K miles (one wore out its valve lifters (Subaru recall), the other ate its sparkplugs (fixed under warranty) and often misfired while ascending hills. The 2.4 L turbo got off to bad start in Ascent with oil dilution, but has been reworked and seems to be pretty reliable these days.

Any other gas other than Shell (which was rare for me due to it being more expensive in that area I was living in) ran like crap. Tried it other cars and suv's I've owned and the experience was different, even with different octanes. It may well be the additives per Car Manufacturer/Model. Tesla sounds like the Apple of cars
