    I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your videos! You were speaking to my heart when you said, “You want your engine to be in tip top shape and last a long time.” All gearheads can definitely relate to this statement and also folks who just want their engines to last long and be reliable. From what I was taught in auto mechanic school, higher octane fuel resists combustion compared to lower octane fuels. High compression performance engines and/or forced induction engines can benefit from this in order to avoid knock or premature detonation due to high pressure, which leads to high heat. No reason at all to use high octane (premium) gas in an engine that calls for 87 octane. The inner mechanic in me does recommend using higher octane fuels in engines that calls for it in order to respect the design of the engine and all those engineers who worked tirelessly. My teacher who was an elderly man and in the business for ages recommended Techron and I trust his words.

    Two thoughts: 1. When measuring things like fuel, it is much more accurate to use weight than volume. 2. The cleaning effectiveness should be measured over a much longer time frame. It is possible that an expensive fuel would continue to clean, keeping deposits down, while a cheap fuel would continue to build more deposits.

    The whole point of v power is that it has a higher octane and thus more resistant to detonation. This generally means when tuning an engine, more power can be achieved without causing damage to the engine. Shell promotes more mileage and cleaning because most people don’t understand the issues of detonation (or care) but they are swayed with getting more miles per gallon.

    @@ProjectFarm …. I have a good example of serious power gains from using a premium 93 octane pump fuel compared to regular 87 octane fuel. I have been getting a rental car once a month for the past couple of years and it was a pleasant surprise to find out first hand about modern automotive technology and the small displacement turbocharged/inter-cooled engines available in rental cars. Some of the rentals I got included a Twin turbo Infinity, Ecoboost 2.3 liter, turbo/inter-cooled four cylinder Mustang (my favorite), Camaro V-6, Challenger V-6, Charger Hemi V-8 and more that perform only as good as the power train control module allows based mainly on inputs from the O2 and knock sensors. The PCM tunes for peak performance when I fill up the rental with 93 octane on the first tank full. The rental agency requires the tank be refilled when returning so people buy the cheapest 87 octane to top off the tank upon return. None of the cars I rented would perform anywhere near their turbocharged or high compression engines ability. Not until I got some 93 in the tank and the performance increase was substantial. For example, the Twin Turbo/inter-cooled V-6 Infinity literally wouldn’t turn a tire when hammered at a standstill and accelerating to 80 seemed almost impossible. After the PCM quit pulling out boost and ignition timing caused by knock retard and optimized the tune for 93 octane, the results were impressive. The Infinity would boil the tires on launch and zip up to 140 with ease. The results were the same with all of the listed rentals. A full tank of 93 octane gasoline is well worth the cost when having a blast in the rental !

    Awesome job, you definitely covered the bases you needed to in this video. What might be interesting is if you could find an engine with high enough compression that requires 93 octane and running on both fuels to see the results of the higher octaves knock prevention. One other point that most people don't know about is that the lower octane will make slightly more power due to its ability to burn easier, but you would need a fairly powerful engine to be able to measure a difference, like a 100hp engine may drop down to 99.8 running on a higher octane type of smaller gain/loss. The only place premium shines is in high compression or turbocharged engines, otherwise, if an engine can run 87 octane it will perform better on it than premium, but the people marketing fuel won't tell people that.

When I had my shop I could tell who was using 104+ because it would leave their spark plugs a reddish brown color.... and when it says it raises octane by 4 points... well now your 87 octane is 87.4... and so on... If you really need a high octane fuel there's always E85, but non flex fueled cars really can't take advantage of this without some serious reprogramming and tuning. We used to mix toluene with regular or premium to get the octane level we needed for supercharged or turbocharged engines and there's lots of articles on the net saying how to mix it for a specific octane level... A little pricy but far cheaper than racing fuel.

    Thats not entirely true. My 2017 hyundai sonata 2.4L GDI I just found out had an engine ping (thought it was a loose heat shield rattlin' around underneath) that I would hear when accelerating up a hill or with a lot of throttle. Turns out to be a very common thing with my make/model car. The owner's manual says to use "Top Tier gasoline with an octane rating of 87 OR HIGHER" and what do you know, when I switched to 93 the engine ping went away and the car runs better.

    V-Power gasoline is mainly for high compression ratio engines and supercharged engines, which can improve work efficiency. However, most of the gasoline engines of lawn mowers and generators have a compression ratio of 8:1 to 9:1, which does not fully demonstrate the advantages of high octane gasoline.

I always recommended top-name-brand gasoline to my customers as opposed to the "cheap" stuff, primarily because of the higher-quality additives vs. possibly the lack thereof in the cheap stuff. I've had Shell premium that was 5 years old that was still good, vs. 6 month old "cheap" gas that smelled like varnish in some of my customer's equipment.

Then I looked up the manufacturer's ratings and they said the same thing - better gas mileage on lower octane fuel. A higher compression engine would, of course, benefit from the higher octane fuel; but not my Forester.

    Here's the truth: I deliver fuel to several places, and the EPA controls the recipe for gasoline. All gas companies get it from the same place, however it's raw gasoline. However it's not all the same. The fuel then has the additives added that separate one brand from another. Shell using nitrogen is the trademark. Going back to the original point, removing all additives, fuel is all the same. Shell trucks line up at the same racks as bp and marathon, so bear all that in mind.

    Several comments state the significant difference between US and European octane rating. This is mostly due to the different ratings used. US gasoline is rated in AKI (anti knock index) and European is rated in RON( research octane number). The reality is that they are not that different. 87 regular US is about 91 RON . European regular is 95 RON which is about 91 AKI, basically euro regular is us midgrade. European premium is 98 or 100 RON which is 93-95 AKI. However... running expensive gas in your car makes no sense if it doesn't have a high compression ratio or forced induction.

I tested the milage of my fairly regular 91 Toyota Corolla 1,6L 16 valve EFI (4A-FE Petrol engine) .. the milage in my Corolla did actually gain about 80km extra milage.

    I've noticed a difference in sound and acceleration, as well as top speed in my low compression (about 6,5 to 7 bar measured with the hand-starter) Mariner 10hp 2-Stroke Outboard Engine: With 95 Octane, I get better acceleration (about 2 to 4 seconds quicker to planing - didn't exactly measure it, but it is noticeable: I had a clear disadvantage against another boat with RON 95 fuel when accelerating) but lower top speed and the engine is louder at WOT. With Ultimate 102 from Aral (didn't test any other fuel - Shell is absolutely no-go on a boat because of the Ethanol-Content) the top speed is 2 to 3 knots higher (Top Speed: about 25 knots) and the engine-sound has less high frequency content (sounds more pleasant), but acceleration is lacking. Also with Aral 102, the engine runs cleaner and seems to burn more of the oil. But it runs hotter. As to why, my theory is, that 95 RON Fuel burns faster, creating higher pressures and therefore more torque. At high enough RPMs, however the fuel is spent too fast and starts to cool down while 102 Octane fuel keeps burning longer and therefore keeps the temperature and pressure up. Or the premium-fuel simply has more energy per liter. This is probably the reason why premium fuels tend to cause higher exhaust temperatures in engines that don't have variable spark timing. There were some problems with Evinrude E-Tec engines a few years ago: The versions without knock-sensors tended to throw EGT-Errors and switch to safe-mode if ethanol-rich (10% or higher from boat gas-stations) or high octane fuel was used. Engines with knock-sensors developed more power and didn't have any problems. Unless the Ethanol had bonded with water, then the fuel tended to destroy injectors. :)

I think it's better to just run a bottle of BG injector cleaner through if you suspect the injectors or plugs are dirty, an extra 50c a gallon for many miles will add up a lot. It would be interesting to see what difference in performance there would be if this were used on a higher compression motor. My car only takes 91 octane, but I still buy the cheapest 91 available.

    He's only half way right. There's things in the cheap gas to keep the engine cool. High compression requires more to move them pistons. Therefore needing that gas. That has absolutely nothing to do with cooling the types of pistons. High compression pistons are used so u can make the power and not break shit. Friction is what's causing the heat. And with all that taken away to help cool it and make them move faster it will create more heat obviously. When u buy a care they now put the recommended gas on some place of the car. Older carbed cars require non ethanol because that is what they had back in the day and they were not made for type of gas we have today. It tears up the gaskets and prints amongst many things. But newer cars are made to run on this shit gas and therefore u should run the required gas and not be an idiot and be a follower lol. People always think its ok to put premium in the car when all your gonna do is destroy shit. They started carrying the non ethanol gas bc a lot of power sport vehicles require it. Atvs, sleds, all the antique cars. The antiques can't run on this shit. There is a huge difference when u put shit gas in an antique. Where I live its very hard to get non ethanol. I have to drive 20 miles to get my gas and not everyday do iyou wanna do that in a power hungry muscle car.

    As long as you don't put to much MMO in the gas, it will increase octane and engine torque. To much and it starts to become more like a diesel fuel and will foul your spark plugs and clog your catalytic converter faster. I put some in the gas when I'm going to be hauling a heavy trailer with my gasoline truck; MMO gives it more torque for pulling up grades/hills.

The lowest octane gas at the pump has the lowest amount of alcohol content. Alcohol is filler and has very hardly no energy producing ability. So, if you can't get alcohol free gasoline then try my system it works great. Here is some online maps that show where there are fuel stations that have alcohol free gasoline.

    Thanks for another great video. I started using Shell V-Power in a '07 Mercedes E320 with the M104 engine. At 225k miles, I did not expect much of an improvement, but there is. I had been using a quality Premium Gas, but I experienced a slight, but noticeable improvement in performance. I don't think is a function of the cleaners as the injectors, pump, filter and fuel lines were replaced a month before. If it keeps the engine running smooth until a typical rebuild at 400k, the .50 a gallon surcharge is a good ROI.

It actually made a noticeable difference in fuel economy as well- over a year, with the same driving every day, 87 was about 28mpg highway, 89 about 30, 93 was 31-32.

I had two machines die on me. I had to replace fuel line on both, and the bayonet connector that linked the line together. Both had what I can only describe as plastic crystals in the fuel tank. Almost like sand, but obviously plastic. This took a few years to happen. And they happened only a week apart. One was a riding mower, and the other was a leaf blower, back pack type. It was while replacing the parts I noticed both gas cap had a slashed “O” with an “E” in it. I took this to mean no ethanol. I since sourced a clean fuel source, and never another problem from them.

    Great tests we had around 2.8 million miles logged on all of our fleet of F150’s and the cheap fleet fuel we would purchase never had any fuel related issues. Each truck averaged 300k miles before we sold them. They transported 18 wheeler parts (starters, injectors, etc.) for our roadside mechanics around the Houston region. Mainly highway miles. To note separately we extended oil change intervals from the 5,000 mile factory recommended to 17,000 miles on all trucks. Schaffers oil was used due to their cheap bulk oil prices and were the oils always used to extend those intervals.
