    Your local gas station probably offers you 3 levels of gasoline, like
    gold, silver and bronze. These typically have different levels of
    octane in them and you will generally get a little better mileage for
    the more expensive type.

    In addition to different octane levels there are many different
    additives that can be in a companies brand of gasoline and this
    differentiation can have a big impact on your vehicle.

    One type of additive is a detergent which generally cleans your
    engine. Without some level of detergents engine deposits form and this
    causes reduced fuel efficiency, acceleration and power as well as
    increasing emissions and rough idling.

    You buy your gas at Shell, that's for sure.




    Nope. Either no increase, or a DECREASE.


    ALL gasolines on the US market today are subject to US federal EPA
    regulations (and, in addition, sometimes even state EPA regs) governing
    detergent additives. ALL gasolines on the US market today have detergent
    content sufficient to maintain emissions system performance as mandated by
    the EPA. This primarily means deposit control.

    You got an ax to grind with somebody? You fail smog somewhere?
