is mixing different brands of gasoline ok?
I usually get my gas from COOP or superstore gasbar, but today I checked in a Shell. I still had about quarter tank left (regular 87) and I used the shell bronze (i think 87 grade). but after I drove it about 5 min, I can tell the engine became really weak. the gas pedal couldn't muster much power. I don't recall this happening last time I filled up at shell with an almost empty tank.
so is mixing two diff brands of gas from two diff stations not good? or did shell change its formulas or something? I heard they added nitrogen enriched detergents but I don't really buy into that stuff. I usually go for price :) |
i dont think it will really harm nothing, i switch between sheetz and sunocco all the time.

I miss sheetz... great cheap food :D
Anyway, Shell uses nitrogen, trust me... my fuel economy drops ~20% when I use Shell gas. As far as mixing gas, it won't harm anything. I just know I like to stay away from Shell whenever possible. I'm a BP man myself :D |

BP and Sonoco ftw.
Did a CEL come on when the car started to accelerate weakly? Shell gas does lower MPG's, but it shouldn't make it noticeably weaker. |
I deff don't use BP nor shell...I use Exxon or hess or whatever Royal farms has...
|
I will never fuel at Exon/Mobil or BP. Don't support these motherfuсkers. I fill at Sunoco and Lukoil
|
I used to use BP but since the oil spill i've switched to Sunoco. I realize i'm just picking a lesser evil, but I just can't bring myself to knowingly support BP right now.
