Might as well start the conversation on how MOTUL makes a car go faster than Mobil 1.

:fulloffuck:

People need to stop making shit up.

people need to stop ignoring hard numbers. i like how you haters just discount the rom rating. which is higher at shell.

dismissing anecdotal evidence from EVERYONE just makes you seem like a jerk.

honestly do you have a boosted car? something that needs premium?

in my experience cars with boost, heavy mods etc that need premium, NEED FUCKING PREMIUM. there's this thing called ping and detonation that happens.

my car runs better on shell or us92 then on chevron94. it's an immediate and obvious difference and anyone can tell the difference.

how about those shops saying US tuned cars where running worse on chevron 94 then us92?

we understand you watched an episode of mythbusters and know everything about cars now. but maybe some actual enthusiasts that are up to date in the scene might, just might have more experience in this field then you.

Hater? Why the hell am I a hater now? What was I even hating on? :pokerface:

I was not talking about US Shell 92 versus Canadian Chevron 94, the latter of which I am aware performs worse. I am also aware that boosted cars are sometimes significantly more sensitive towards the type of gas used. If you notice what I wrote in my post, I was solely comparing Shell and Chevron 91 in Canada. My post was in response to the previous post which was made by an N/A S2000 driver who claims his car "seems to feel more powerful" after putting in Shell 91 over Chevron 91.

Seems to be placebo to me.

RS gas challenge 2015!!!

Drive your car till it is empty.
Have 2 Jerry cans one with Shell the other with Chevron.
Have someone pour some gas in your car without telling you.
Do this 5 times.
Each time guess what type of gas is in your car.

Who thinks they can get all five right?

If your butt dyno can feel the difference, your motor is already fucked by the shittier one. Anything other than dyno plots with AFR's or knock isn't much use here.

where the arco at?

Geoc 06-19-2015 10:19 PM

I swear by Domo gas, it's the best. I avoid other gas stations when I can and fill up at Domo only.

Some of you guys that are "tuned on 94" should make the trip out to Arcade station and try some E85. You can probably run a 15% E85 mix without having to adjust your tune. Also, Arcade now carries Shell 91 Nitro.

Mix ??
I have around 40L of Shell 91 Nitro+ in the tank.
So, I just go to Arcade pumped in another 6L of E85 ?

Both Gasoline will be mixed in the tank evenly ??

I noticed after filling up 91 Shell with Nitro, it has better gas mileage and more powerful BUT when i start my engine right in the morning or after the car has sat for like 8 hours, it's pretty loud. It quiets back to normal after warming up. Also, my engine oil suddenly became more dark.
Not sure if this is related to the sudden change to Shell 91.

I'm going back to Chevron 91 to see if it goes back to normal.

I thought people where buying 91 because it had no ethanol but your saying people should add ethanol? :fulloffuck:

Ran shell nitro a few weeks ago, and cold starts were very rough, car would barely start, thought something was wrong with my car. Filled up with Chevron after and problem disappeared. Fast forward to recently, filled with shell for the second time (different station) and the rough cold start issue is back. Anyone else experiencing this?

Just out of curiosity, how bad is PC gas?
And for that matter, how good/bad is Esso gas?

Your car probably feels slower now because of the heat?
