My mileage with Shell has gone down since they've started adding more nitrogen...

Interesting. I just assumed it was more marketing than anything else.

I thought so too, so I kept using it

Esso and Husky seem to do the best for my truck now And Husky has ethanol

Used to know a guy who worked at a fuel distributor in Austin as a dispatcher. I asked him about all of the brand name gasoline and how did they keep it straight. He said their trucks all filled up from the same tap at the distribution hub (all came from the same storage tanks), then went out and refilled all of the stations on the list... regardless of brand name. He swore that every station in town was buying the same gas from the company... even though some of them showed up in a truck with a brand name on the side...

I'd be careful what you pay extra for.

I still know people who will only buy a certain brand of gas. I laugh at them and just buy mine wherever I need to fill up.

The fuel comes from the same refineries, then each "brand" adds their own additives... At least in Canada

Yeah but he was the distributor for the city. Fuel trucks came there to fill up. They were picking up finished product.

I'm betting much of that "additive" talk is marketing hooey.

Some of it is... But around here, brands do have their own mixes...

Petro-Canada does the worst in my truck, by a lot...

good info

I'd like to know the real story behind brands and their additives... at least the ones that actually get to the pump.

My ex father in law used to deliver gas.He said the same thing.

There's gotta be something each brand does to their gas, or it wouldn't matter where you fill up, you'd get the same performance...
