RE: [DML] Re: Delorean Fuel

["Scott Mueller" <scott.a.mueller@xxxxxxxxx>]

As I recall, some years back all grades of a gasoline brand were required to
have the same concentration of the "additives".  The only difference was the
octane rating.  Shell sells V-Power and Chevron-Texaco sells Techron.  I
prefer Chevron.  The key is to use the name brand gasoline's that have the
"Detergents".  The generic gasoline may come from the same loading rack as
the name brand, it just doesn't have the additives.

According to one of Shell's press releases regarding its high octane
"V-Power" fuel, "Its 
cleansing action also provides daily engine protection for power with peace
of mind." Also, according to their studies, "Use of low detergent gasolines
can allow deposit 
materials to build up on your engine's intake valves and fuel injectors.
This material can 
cause less efficient mixing of air and fuel and result in incomplete
combustion in some 
cycles. Tests prove that, with regular use, Shell V-Power can remove those
deposits that 
low detergent gasolines leave behind."  While all of this should be taken
with a grain of 
salt as it is their own product they are describing, it would appear that
"NOPE! They are 
pretty much the same. It's just that the higher the rating the less it is
prone to explode, it 
will burn and not explode" is incorrect.  Its up to the owner as to what
quality gasoline 
they want to put in their car.
