IS PREMIUM GAS A SCAM? $$$$ (SHELL V-POWER NITRO +) - 8 Month Experiment

[@adrianpadilla2155]

In my experience… everything I put Shell VPower in quiets down and peps up as long as it’s a newer car with knock sensors and variable valve timing. It’s worth the additional 20 cents per gallon it costs compared to regular Shell in my state and I get 10 cents off per gallon using their free rewards program. So for $1-2 more per tank (I usually fill up 10 gallons), it’s a no brainer. When I lived in Florida and it was like 80 cents more per gallon I definitely thought about it more 😅 but in CA it’s a no brainer.

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

@adrianpadilla2155 damn! If you really are getting nitro v at 10 cents more go for it! Premium fuel in most places are several dollars more per gallon. Given how CA is right now I wouldn't live there if food, utilities, housing, a car and gas were free lol

[@tssci6774]

If you want speed up the process, need to perform Italian Tune Ups on a regular basis. At lower combustion temps, short trips, more carbon will develop. Drive the vehicle at 4k rpm for 15 min at highway speeds to get the engine, valves, pistons hot. Then drive at wide open throttle till it shifts, then do a full deceleration to 1500 rpm, repeat 4-5 times. You will see marked difference in carbon removal after only one run. I have done same testing, borescope imaging, engine data logging, and fuel efficiency on my GM 2.4L Ecotec, GDI. Substantial reduction in engine knock, more advance timing, and better mpgs. Being a rental, and previous owned, you wont remove all the carbon, as it is normal aspect of burning hydrocarbons. The cleaner the engine, the longer it will last. Also need to use a premium 100% synthetic oil.

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

Man I haven't heard of the "italian tune up" since a scotty kilmer video a while back. Yeah cheap oil kills cars especially with some people thinking oil lasts forever lol. Most people are doing short trips and not caring about regular maintenance !

i'm actually surprised by the results. I didn't think anything would happen. thank you for putting this together!

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

my pleasure powar! I really wanted to see if this fuel could solve the owner's blow by leading to oil on their spark plugs. 2 other things that could've been the culprit are worn out spark plug well seals in the valve cover OR the PCV valve going bad. Checked for those first so the final boss was attacking that carbon!

[@timk3939]

Oil in a spark plug well will be a valve cover seal issue, not piston ring, imho. The crankcase ventilation will regulate pressure in the valve cover area, even with blowby. Older BMWs are notorious for the valve cover leaks from experience, as they used poor quality rubber.

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

Thanks for sharing, the pcv was replaced as I showed for better ventilation. As far as the valve cover and gasket and spark well gaskets, I did let her know that they would need eventual replacing but not my car not my call ya know? Luckily there's no more oil showing, and her truck is doing relatively well apart from what I would recommend being 4 new brake calipers and brackets and a flush with new brake fluid ~ Work smart

[@raymondfellers9430]

The questions I have are 1) Is Shell premium better for cleaning than Shell regular? and 2) does Shell premium clean better than cheaper Top Tier premium gasolines? Shell is the most expensive in the SF Bay Area, with Shell premium about $1/gal more than Costco, which is also a Top Tier gasoline.

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

Great questions! I can't speak on Costco's behalf however what I can answer is: 1. Yes, shell premium is better than it's regular. Typically every station gets gas made in that area anyways the only difference are the additive formula each company adds to boost the performance within their specs. 2. From what I've seen I believe it performs better than GULF'S PREMIUM. SHELL NITRO has 6x the cleaning agents of regular gas but each fuel company has their premium formula. At the end of the day, unless your manual/car: - asks for premium (higher octane) - has misfires from excess carbon deposits - is pre igniting during the combustion cycle You can stick to regular and use a fuel additive to boost octane level if needed. If you're trying to clean your engine the cleaning additives matter more than the octane rating Hope that helps :)

[@davidthompson7817]

It’s the only thing I run in my turbo charge GDI engine. I used to think Chevron supreme with Techron was the best but then I started using shell and I noticed a difference. I won’t put anything else in there because it works. Thank you very little!

Good video, this is what I was looking for, I wanted to see results with normal, mostly city driving in the long run. Having in mind that it's about 10-20 cents more expensive, I think it's totally worth it. It would be cool to check how the V-power Diesel performs in the same way and how much deposits it cleans from EGR etc.

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

@@AKasabyan thanks for sharing. If the difference in price is only 10-20 cents for you, enjoy! Hopefully as the economy improves, lower gas prices near me 😅

[@EristiCat]

There really is a difference between gas meeting the minimum detergent requirements and those that are "top tier". This car undoubtedly spent most of its life on a diet of whatever was handy and most likely whatever was cheapest... so odds are it did not have a steady diet of top tier detergent levels. Lots of research has shown not only the benefits of detergents in fuel but that the effect is dose dependent. Putting it on a steady diet of Shell V-power should have cleaned it up some but you can only do so much with what is still a low dose. Years ago, I saw detailed research report showing how well Chevron's techroline worked. It worked well and it was dose dependent; it didn't take 6 to 12 months to show improvements if you used a decent dose in a couple tanks.

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

@EristiCat definitely this truck gets the regular stuff. But when $ is tight and prices get higher, I totally get priorities being food or utilities over fuel additives in gas. I looked into techron unfortunately it isn't available near me

[@TwoPair72]

All I know is, I have a 2020 Ranger 2.3 EB. Says you can run 87 and I drove a good bit to get the miles to E to reset some. I gained a 100 miles to the tank on the Shell. I'm avg. 24 to 25 mpg and still gaining a mile or two. It's leveling out after about two tank fills. I put 89 in the CX-50 and beating the sticker mpg by two. It's worth it to me to pay extra at the pump. If I did the math right, only spending five extra bucks from the mpg gain.

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

@TwoPair72 with prices rising, 100 miles over any fill up is very welcome. Glad it worked for you. People seem to think I'm selling this fuel option on commission from my pocket lol. Thanks for sharing!

[@zeppkfw]

Seems like it cleaned it a bit. I would say that a fueld additive detergent that comes in bottles would be more useful and then the Shell is just there to maintain and to prevent carbon build up.

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

I've tried the lucas fuel additive for cleaning injectors and seen little if any changes in performance. The shell fuel was certainly effective, the concern is the commitment to pricing and patience. Shell says that this fuel doesn't just clean but prevents build-up so I'd recommend people not let it get bad.

Would love to see a similar video showing the cleaning ability of Chevron premium fuel. My car requires premium and my owners manual recommends Chevron brand. Would be interesting to see if it cleans as well as Shell premium.

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

I would say as far as processing and refining shell and chevron have separate processes, However because shell refining has more shall we say quality control they are able to justify higher pricing. There are no chevron fuel stations near me. I would say as long as you have the recommended octane level (premium for different people can be 91, 93 etc.) your fuel should be fine as long as you're not filling at some cheap sketchy place where you have to jiggle the handle and spin around 3 times for it work lol

[@aluisious]

@@TOOL_TECHNICAL There is no difference in refining in California. All the gas comes from the same refinery.

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

@@aluisious perhaps I should've been more specific in saying the additives package. the heating, distillation etc. of the fuel is the same as far as a base fuel but Shell certainly has it's work cut out for worn, high build-up vehicles. still prefer multi port injection over GDIs which are a nightmare if not regularly cleaned (valves get plugged and super gunked up)

[@davidthompson7817]

As I commented earlier, I used to always use stuff from premium. Most of my cars have been small turbo charged and lately TDI engines to boot but when I switch to Shell, I can tell a difference so I ain’t going back. I will not put anything else in my car if I can help it sometimes I put a couple gallons in if I’m in between Places and feel nervous about running on reserve. It says I only have 20 miles left to go before I’m out of gas. You know what I mean! Boy get away from Chevron, but that might be my number to go to. If I didn’t have Shell gasoline the power nitro (whatever the hell it is).

[@meaculpamishegas]

Instead, buy a catalytic converter cleaner like STP 1 Tank Tune Up which cleans and protects the catalytic converter, fuel system, intake valves, and oxygen sensors. They’re less than $15 which is around the cost difference between a full tank of regular and premium

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

[@pv4083]

Thank you for taking the time to do this analysis. Seriously I use Nitro + only on my sports cars and when I’m going to the track. 🤷 they don’t see much action aside from the occasional weekend and track use. I would recommend using Amsoil direct injection cleaner with every oil change.

Start using it when your car is new and keep it clean to start with.

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

it does claim to be able to coat the area to resist build up occurring yes. I'm sure most people are more interested in what it can undo once their car starts acting funny. Too many drivers put whatever fuel they pass on the way home or to work, in their engine for years. Sometimes a fuel additive can yield comparable results but some formulas are money pits that don't work.

[@Meditationrelaxinghealing]

The thing is it doesn't build new deposits. Its even removes old deposits. It means it worth it.

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

@Meditationrelaxinghealing correct it does advertise to prevent buildup from occurring however without committing to a 100% cleaning timeline followed by a 1 - 3 year following up to see common commuting with a solid mix of city miles and highway miles while the vehicle is untouched by extra additives such as fuel injector cleaner

[@user-ew6jy9mo4r]

I hate to be “that guy”, but premium vs regular unleaded isn’t about cleaning additives. Octane selection is almost exclusive to the engines compression ratio and ignition timing. Isn’t it more efficient (cheaper) to use the same, or similar, detergent package in all octane ratings sharing the same branding?

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

I didn't introduce this fuel to the owner for the sake of performance (although it was certainly a byproduct during the experiment). The additives in Nitro V claim to remove carbon buildup which as you heard was able to remove buildup of carbon deposits on her oil rings thus to date she hasn't had any oil blow by to the piston head or the spark plugs. 100% agree cost-wise an additive to recommended standard octane fuel is preferred when attempting to achieve the same result while saving money. In this case, it did its job (roughly). The financial commitment may lead many to go for fuel injector cleaning additives and fuel stabilizers/detergent additives. Thank you for sharing and don't worry you're not that guy, I AM 😎

[@user-ew6jy9mo4r]

@@TOOL_TECHNICAL I see now. Shell is marketing this additive package in their premium fuel only. Thanks for the methodical test!

[@generalzod7959]

i suspect for most cars, probably not. however, i have a 2018 regal with a 2.0 turbo and it says premium recommended. it isn't _necessary_ or you'll damage the engine, it just really means if you wanna unlock more of the engines performance potential. i have run it for hundreds of miles on regular 87 octane and it runs just fine. it just has less pep. i don't push my car often so, i usually use reg 87 and just go from there. however, it can be fun to warm up the engine and then go do a bit of spirited driving from time to time and i can notice the extra power when using premium.

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

There are fuel additives that boost the octane levels of base fuels so if there are hot spots or pre ignitions causing misfires that is a cheaper route to fix that with more worn engines. For porshes and other cars that are REQUIRE premium additives are much cheaper than the inflation we pay for gas. While driving this vehicle I honestly don't see a major difference given it calls for 87 regular. Thank you for Sharing :)

Scientific tests show that pretty much and "top tier" gasoline will clean your engine over about 5000 miles. It doesn't have to be premium gas or even Shell gas. For the most part I can buy top tier gas for a few cents per gallon more than no name gas. Maybe Shell V Power has more detergents in it than other top tier gas, and maybe it works better than the others... I can't say. I only recall, that in the old days, my carbureted cars always ran less well on Shell gas, but there was actually a noticeable improvement in fuel economy with Shell. So yes, Shell might be different.

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

old school guys say take it to the highway and floor it to 100 for a mile or 2 for the "italian tune-up" everybody has what works for them or what's in their budget. I know older cars were very inefficient and bad for the environment but man they built them so sturdy you could actually pass them down AND afford them to begin with lol

[@RJ-vb7gh]

@@TOOL_TECHNICAL To be honest... old school cars wouldn't be around if we were still using old school oil. They were built for really crappy oil, and they only last forever because oil improved so much. In my 1966 Olds owners manual it says to change the oil ever 2000 miles or 30 days... And back in the 1970's I dug tons of sludge out of old school V8s from burnt up oil that wasn't changed on time. Once you switched an old school engine to modern synthetic oil... they literally stopped aging. And no, they didn't get better... they just stopped getting worse. As to bad for the environment, I'm still not sold on catalytic converters that spew out acids being much better. The rain in my area is pretty acid these days and all of the salamanders in my local lakes are deformed or gone.... But yes, there's less lead in the air now... So I suppose it's a trade off. And also smaller, lighter cars pollute less.in as much as they burn less fuel. But back in the days, I had a 1973 Buick with a 1976 455 4 bbl (low compression). As it was in a 1973 it didn't need the catalytic converter or the AIR pump, so they were deleted legally. (It still had EGR) and it easily passed emissions for a 1991 even without the anti-smog stuff. We also managed to get a 1966 high compression 425 4 bbl to pass for a 1976, but it was literally undrivable. So, yes the high compression high performance engines were worse for smog. As to fuel consumption, the 425 got around 9 to 11 MPG highway and the 455 got 17. My 2003 4.6 L Ford gets around 15. But if your car gets 30 MPG, you are likely polluting less than most old cars did. To toss one more monkey wrench into the discussion, I have an 1981 Hemi K wagon, with the 2.6 Mitsubishi MCA jet engine (Mitsubishi Clean Air). It gets both 30+ MPG with insanely low emissions, but it's a slug and does 0 to 60 eventually pulling a heavy wagon. So, even back in the day, cars could have had better emissions and fuel economy if anyone really wanted them. Don't let people BS you... there's nothing new in internal combustion. Everything we know now, we knew back then and could do without 10,000 worth of high tech per car. Lubricants and fuels however, have improved and car makers are taking advantage of that to make engines that wouldn't have lasted 10,000 miles back in the days of asphalt or paraffin based oils and basic non detergent fuels.

@@TOOL_TECHNICAL Yes and No. Look closely and you will find that Big cars had full box frames and multiple piece stamped bumpers that were very heavy and thick; not to mention a thousand pound engine in front of you. Small cars like the Maverick, Pinto Vega etc had no frames and very thin bumpers. Moreover the Pinto actually had the gas tank as the trunk floor and extended into the rear bumper with no firewall... So yes large cars were safe, mostly because they crushed little cars in accidents. That's why some folks remember the great street panzers of yore while other people say cars are safer now. It all depends on what they were driving back in the day. We didn't just wake up to safety, back in the day some people opted for fuel economy and inexpensive cars over safety. The Ford Maverick sold for under two grand, and there wasn't a paper clip worth of metal on that car that didn't hold something necessary on to the car.
