Chris, what a great informative video. You covered all the bases, and it really shows how beneficial higher-octane fuels can be.... for vehicles that require or recommend them. Love the way you clarified the benefits for vehicles that 'recommend' higher octane. Perfect example: my 2021 Ford Edge St has a twin turbo v-6 (2.7 ecoboost). The service manual specifies that the engine will run fine with 87 (thanks to the knock sensors), but for optimum performance or under high load (towing a trailer) applications, premium is recommended. I definitely notice a performance benefit. Kudos to the knock sensors. Also, how older vehicles with high mileage can benefit. Knocking and pinging from carbon hot spots can really do some damage over time. For those of us who know, not a good sound to hear! I have found that Chevron Complete fuel system cleaner works awesome for cleaning carbon out of older engines. Also appreciate the breakdown on fuel additives and additive packages added by the brand. Shell and Chevron both seem to go above and beyond when it comes to putting in more than just the minimum required. I'm sure there are others. Your video covers all the bases and it's truly well made. Thanks!

I can see the dedication in this video. Deserves a subscription 👍🏼

Tell us about the 85 octane we have in high altitude areas. I have heard that this was to compensate for the lower atmospheric pressure, which results in less compression in the cylinder, and thus less tendency for knock. But I also heard that this was first done in the days of carbureted engines, and these days nearly all engines are fuel injected. The car manuals all say to use at least 87 octane. Do we really need that higher octane at a mile high or not these days?

Because I was running asda supermarket fuel and even though it was the cheapest option in my area I realised that my fuel was running out quickly in comparison to shell fuel even though I'm technically getting less fuel for my money with shell.... And also I noticed on a different occasion that after running tesco momentum 99 supermarket fuel after about three tanks my engine started to sound a bit rough, but after returning back to shell fuel my engine became much smoother again... So I know that supermarket fuel is definitely not as good as branded fuel... Would you do a video on that...?

InfiniteLoop oh, it’s 2 of us now! Welcome to the club man

I'm a chemist and have worked in a lab testing gasoline and diesel. This is for the protection of the consumers in our state. I'm pretty sure most states have a lab to do this. Most of the information in your video is correct and very useful. Thank you for making sure to emphasize the octane rating you see at the pump is NOT the energy content of the gas. It's all pretty much the same between 87 and 93, unless of course it has a higher percentage of ethanol (Uh can we say E-85? why would someone run this fuel 🙄). Ethanol will decrease the amount of energy in the gasoline, but it's added to make the gasoline burn cleaner and is good up to 10%. Something you didn't emphasize enough though is what "octane rating" actually is. It is NOT the amount of octane in the gasoline. There is little to no octane actually in gasoline (octanes are eight carbon hydrocarbons). The octane rating is the "equivalent amount of octane" in the fuel so that will resists knocking as if it contained that percent of octane. Gasoline is mostly made up of mixtures of toluene, and xylenes. If you ran pure toluene as your gasoline, you'd be getting about a 110 octane rating, but this wouldn't necessarily be good for your engine. When gasoline is made, the manufacturers control the mixture of hydrocarbons to get a clean burn and the proper vapor pressure (vapor pressure is the pressure of the vaporized gas above the liquid, not to be confused with the engine pressure). Also the gasoline must be protected from oxidation (this is why you add fuel stabilizer when storing for a long time) and contamination like water or particulates. Every brand of gasoline has slightly different proprietary ingredients to do this (as you've said at about 6 minutes). Also, the time of year will dictate what vapor pressure the gasoline manufacturers must make the gasoline to deliver to the consumer. Forget octane boosters. A pint of octane booster won't raise the octane rating of a full tank of fuel enough to make a difference. If you have a high performance engine that's been engineered for high compression, you're going to know you need a higher octane rated fuel. You aren't going to hit that 87 button. Are you?🤔 By the way, most mid-grade pumps, mix (in the pump itself) two parts of 87 with one part of 93 to get 89. But if you look at the price per gallon, they usually give you the "mid-price" between 87 and 93 for the 89. You'd be better off cost wise, by pumping 10 gallons of 87 and 5 gallons of 93 if you really want 89. I suppose mixing it well enough in the tank might be problematic for the first few miles. Really, you didn't need the 89 anyways. Octane Rating Tests Explained: One more thing you didn't explain well was how we get the octane rating in the USA. Yes RON stands for Research Octane Number. It refers to an actual test engine and ASTM method D-2699 for testing the octane rating of spark ignition fuels. My lab uses a RON called a Waukesha RON engine. It varies the compression of the cylinder to make the fuel knock while holding other variables at constant values (temperature, fuel/air mix, engine speed, etc). There is another test engine my lab uses, it's called a MON or Motor Octane Number engine and ASTM method D-2700. It too is a Waukesha engine that varies the compression of the cylinder but holds those variables at different values, mostly the engine speed is faster on the MON (900 rpm instead of the RON's 600 rpm), but I believe the inlet temperature of the RON is also kept higher. The RON and MON tests give slightly different results for octane rating due to the differences in these other variables. MON is always lower than the RON, by about 10 octane ratings if I remember correctly. In the USA, when you see the (R + M)/2 on the pump's octane rating label, it's telling you that the gasoline is rated by testing by both the RON and MON methods, and the final number you get is the average of the two test results. I rarely hear this average referred to as "PON", but I know it's not PUMP Octane Number. I had to look that up and if you want to trust Wikipedia it stands for "Posted Octane Number". In Europe, they only test with the RON method, as you've said, so this is why their octane ratings are higher. They don't have the lower MON test averaged into their octane rating.

Ethanol is a renewable fuel source and can be locally produced when gasoline refinement or import is infeasible. For a chemist, you're remarkably short sighted.

Here in germany some gasstations like "Aral" even offer 102 gasoline. It's called Aral ultimate 102, but not a single car on this planet can work with such a high number of octane. It's more about the additives it contains.

Very badass informative video. Your explanation is very helpful and understandable.

In Norway we have 95E10 and 98E5. 98 is actually ethanol free in Norway, but due to EU regulations we have to label the pumps with E5. The reason why we have 98 as ethanol free is because we have a lot of older cars that usually are parked during the winter. E10 is not good for older engines, and specially if the vehicle is parked during winter. Now we are working on getting 98 into more stations, as more and more people use it.

Asia have almost the same standard, We have E20, Gasohol 91, G95 and pure 98. E20 is 98 mixes with 20% Ethanol, G91 is your E10 and G95 is your E5. I do believe that the more ethanol the less energy because ethanol have less energy that petrol.

@@MutheiM_MarzBut we only have Unleaded95 and Unleaded98. 95 has up to 10% ethanol, and 98 has no ethanol. Lots of smaller petrolstations that had 95 and diesel have switched to 98 instead, as10% ethanol is too much for older cars. My 1991 Toyota runs only on 98 octane with no ethanol added.

@MutheiM_Marz

In my country a new petrol car usually go for E20 and G91 or 95 is for bike. Unleaded 98 is for the old car like yours. But we have another one, normal diesel and B10 which is 10% biodiesel. I have Hilux Mighty X gathering dust and daily driver Hilux Tiger. In small station they must have B10 and 91 and 98. Government start to enforcing biodiesel and Ethanol mixes fuel.

great info ! I only use 87 octane but it does say , premium recommended . my question is , would it be a good idea to put in that octane booster once in awhile to help keep my motor running smooth and clean ?

Great editing notwithstanding the good quaility information!!!

I use premium because i do not drive but maybe 150 miles a month. I use sta-bl fuel additive to save the life of fuel. I do have higher use from time to time but 80% of the time is 150 or less miles. I bough a used ford explorer in 2012 with 197686 miles for $1000. It had not been taken care of. I fixed the problems it had. Front end comletely replaced. $575 in parts. Saved $1000. Drained all the fluids including the gas tank. Changed all the belts and hoses. Cleaned the fuel system, replaced all the bosch platinum plugs and wires. Fixed intake leak in gasket. Vacvumed car and washed it. Paint was in bad shape when i bought it. I stripped the paint and repainted with primer 5 coats and 4 coats of clear coat. I did it myself. I saved $1500 new tires and bought tire covers. The vehicle by blue book is not worth but $2000. But this Explorer is in better shape than most newly boight vehicles it gets 23 mpg and 14 city. Owners manual says its duppose to get 19 hwy and 11 in city. If people would just take care of their vehicles they will last. I don't have thousand of $ in tools either. I have good tools that are good enough for the job. If my parts are stress parts a bought better quality tools for those parts. I may have a $1000 in tools $400 just for a tool box to hold them. I do all my own repar work on both my vehicles my second carcis a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan bought for $2000 cash. It needed drivers sliding door repaired. Did it myself and saved $1100 dollars in repairs. New alternator save $ 525 in repairs good qualty tires saved $1500. Shop around. Deals are out here. Had TIMP defect from factory. Repaired it saved $1400 oil pump saved $400. Both vehicles run and drive like new.

That was actually very interesting and superbly put together

I know from personal experience about Shell. I drive a Ford with a 3.0 engine which runs on any economy fuel. However my girlfriend has a 6 cylinder Jeep she bought new. She was having problems and the dealer told her it was the fuel pump which was "starting to go". This Jeep already had the transmission replaced at 3 months and head gasket at about a year. This was her work vehicle and they quoted 3-400 for a new fuel pump installed. He jeep was fuel sensitive, the additives used in our town didn't work too well, but the next town north(different distribution point) worked better. I suggested she try the Shell economy fuel, it was the same price or 2 cents more to see if there was a difference. She tried a tank and there was no difference, on the second tankful the problems went away. It ran better and her problem fuel pump lasted another 6 years.She still has it, going on 20 years and she had to stop using Shell, n stations around here anymore
