gas
I don't know guys if u noticed but lately every gas station claims to have more detergens and aditives in their gasoline for "cleaner leaner engines". Don't those additives messup the o2 sensors ? I noticed that my car runs like crap everytime i use the gasoline from one of the stations that claim this. Until yesterday i used sunoco, but i switched to shell and my car getts a better idle. What do u think about additives ?

Personally I only use Shell. I'll use BP in a pinch.
Sunoco seems to be ok. I haven't seen any of these signs, but if I do I won't be filling up there. |
They just put the signs up in the last week or so.
|
I tend to mostly use Chevron and Exxon. I got tired of Shell ripping me off when I filled up, after stopping the pump the numbers would slowly creep up as if I'm pumping fuel.
Honda recommends using fuels with detergents....I dunno how good/bad they're going to be for your engine in the near term, but in the long term you want some kind of detergent to prevent build-up, no? Who do you think has the best gas, and why? b |
if i need a "clean and lean" (sunoco) engine all i have to do is run some atf thru the pressure regualtor and then i get it cleaner than the sunoc gas

Must be nice to have boost...... OT: What bar are you boosting at now anyhow? |
Shell 93 octane forever and always:wave:
|
For all you Shell lovers, what makes Shell better than any other major brand gas?
b |
no aditives and no detergents yet, but i'm not a shell fan. i was using sunoco, until i ran into a shell
|
I use Shell or Chevron, seems to be good gas.
|
Well, Chevron has Techron...if their ad campaign is to be believed, it's good for your engine. :)
All I know is that Honda recommends running fuels with detergents......so why not? b |

'cause my engine rruns like crap with detergents. detergents are for clothes not for cars;) |
so noone likes BP??
i like ti due to the gas card:) |
I've heard secondhand horror stories from mechanics about BP gas. I use whatever is convenient, and haven't noticed a difference between any of them.
|
we don't have shells here, i usually fill up premium at chevron or phillips 66. i prefer the gas at phillips though...do u guys have those around your areas??

i heard it from my ex mechanic at Ganley Honda, when i got my car out of repairs because of BP gas. I had to replace most of the sensors becaudse BP burnt them.here is the receipt |
I think BP uses Amoco gas now, after the merger and all.
So just how much of a difference does one notice with detergents vs without, and in what way does one notice this difference? Over the long run, though, I would expect detergents to improve performance due to reduced build-up. |

I believe it was Amoco & Shell that merged. |
not according to www.bpamoco.com

"run some atf thru the pressure regualtor and then i get it cleaner than the sunoc gas"

Yeah, I asked that I don't know how long ago! |
What about those Fuel Injector Cleaners and Octane boosts? are those any good for ur engine? or do they just screw up sensors..

http://www.stylejudge.com/forums/att...s=&postid=1063 Those are from my 98 EX I used to have. I ran ONE bottle of NOS Racing Formula Octane Booster. We had a topic on StyleJudge.com about this.... |
are you sure that the one bottle of octane boost did that?
