    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.

    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've changed my engines oil 100's of times over the years and every time I put the exact amount of oil in after a drain, the oil on the low side of the dipstick is always the correct side. 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.).

I put a beam style torque wrench on it to see how high of a number I could get. I stopped at 150 lbs. Now I will have to use a breaker bar with a 'cheater pipe' on it to loosen them so I can torque them to the proper spec.

    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.

    A few years ago, a co-worker told me never to go to the off-brand gas stations, because they foam their gas so it seems like you are getting the volume of (liquid) gas you pump, but a lot of it is air. After you drive a while the bubbles go away and you have maybe half the volume of liquid gas that you paid for. She said she had run into this several times on long distance trips, near interstates.

    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.

    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
