Shell Gasoline contains a patented cleaning system that actively cleans intake valves and fuel injectors and protects against future build up. No other gasoline protects better against gunk!

Is ethanol bad for your car?

— Efficiency: Ethanol-blended fuel's lower energy efficiency may reduce fuel economy of your engine. — Stalling: Ethanol can cause engine stalling if the water in the ethanol separates from the gasoline and floods the engine. This problem is most likely in engines that sit unused for long periods of time.

What is the best gas for your vehicle?

Regardless of whether your car calls for regular or premium, the best choice for ongoing performance and economy is a TOP TIER gasoline. Recent AAA testing found TOP TIER gasolines keep internal engine components up to 19 times cleaner than gasolines that only meet minimum EPA standards.

Which gas is better 87 89 or 93?

Regular gas is rated at 87 octane in most states, while premium gas is often rated higher at 91 or 93. ... Essentially, the higher the octane rating, the lower the likelihood that detonation happens at the wrong time. On occasion, this occurrence will likely not harm your vehicle.

What gasoline is ethanol free?

According to Dan McTeague, a noted petroleum analyst, Shell and Esso 91 are both ethanol free. All other grades from the companies have some ethanol content, but the mid-grade blend is pure gas, which means it not only corrodes less than ethanol blends, but is less likely to deteriorate when stored.

Does premium gas have ethanol?

Premium gas doesn't provide any more power or contain better additives than regular gas, and it contains the same amount of ethanol as other grades. It just resists detonation (knock) better than lower-octane gas—nothing more, nothing less. ... If so, keep using 89-octane to regain some power and save your engine.

Does E10 fuel damage engines?

E10 petrol's higher bioethanol content is corrosive to rubber parts, gaskets, seals, metals and plastics, which causes engine damage, so it could dislodge deposits in older engines and fuel systems, causing blockages. ... If you make a mistake at the pumps and brim your older car with E10, all is not lost.

What happens if I put higher octane fuel in my car?

The higher the octane rating, the less likely a car will experience a “mistime combustion,” which creates the engine knock sound, according to The Drive. A higher-octane gas, such as premium, helps prevent engine knock.

Does premium gas give better mileage?

Premium gives better gas mileage

Because premium gas has a higher octane rating than midgrade or regular gas, it produces a little more power when burnt. Designed for performance cars with large, powerful engines, premium also helps minimize the risk of preignition inside highly-stressed, hot engine cylinders.

Will premium gas hurt my car?

Most cars on the road recommend a standard grade 87 or 89. Premium gas 90-93 is completely okay to put in a standard vehicle. Car experts say there is no risk of damage to a standard car using premium fuel.

Does premium gas do anything?

Recommended: When your owner's manual (or the inside of the gas door) recommends premium you can still run your car on a lower grade fuel. For cars that merely recommend it, premium gasoline may very slightly improve performance (increased horsepower) and fuel economy, according to a November 2017 study from AAA.

Does premium gas clean your engine?

Nope. Regular, plus, and premium gas all come with detergents to mitigate against carbon deposits in your engine. Plus and premium don't come with special powers for cleaning out the engine. If you're interested in cleaning out your engine, you're better off taking it in for service.

Does premium gas last longer than unleaded?

In a word, no. On its own paying for premium gasoline does not make your car run better or get greater gas mileage. Giving your car the fuel it requires to run smoothly and efficiently, without damage to the engine, does make a difference in your fuel mileage.

Will non-ethanol gas hurt my car?

The short answer is, no, ethanol-free gasoline is not bad for your car. Most cars today can run on ethanol gas blends up to E15 (15% ethanol) and on non-ethanol gasoline. And flex fuel vehicles can handle up to E85 (85% ethanol) without a problem.

Does Petro Canada gas contain ethanol?

Yes, all of our grades of gas, including our Ultra 94 high octane fuel , contain up to 10% ethanol content. This is required by federal and provincial regulations.

How do you remove ethanol from gasoline?

To remove ethanol from gasoline, first find out how many gallons of gas you have. Then, in a well-ventilated area, pour the gasoline into a safe container and then pour 1 cup of water for every gallon of gasoline into the same container. Tightly seal the container and then shake it vigorously for about 30 seconds.
