Interesting all this fuel talk.
In the UK many independent car magazines, motoring supplements
recommend Shell and Texaco as they have the best 'Detergent Packs'.
'Supermarket Fuels' as they have now been nicknamed, which are a bit
cheaper than the likes of Shell and Texaco, maybe 3 pence per litre,
are often said to leave deposits which in the long term can cause
problems.
>From reading many Agony aunt style columns in the motoring
supplements of newspapers, it does appear that there is an obvious
link between the cheaper Supermarket fuels and problems with modern
injection engines.
I now always use Shell Optimax and have noticed a benefit in fuel
economy (which covers the extra 3 pence per litre) and the car
starts and runs better.
In the UK where we are paying about £4.50 ($8.00) per gallon the
extra 3 pence per litre pales into insignificance
So to conclude, I think there is enough evidence to prove that not
all fuels are equal
Just my 2 pence
