Fuel additives do work, but if you buy a branded fuel like Shell, BP, Esso etc you will get them anyway. They are added to the tanker at the terminal. Non-branded ard just base fuel. You get what you pay for. So buy branded and don't bother adding them yourself, a waste....
I have four classic historic cars when the petrol was changed in the UK we were told all kinds of horrible things that would happen to our old cars .I can tell you it was all lies and bullshit .I run my cars on regular all the time one car dates from1937 the newest one dates. From1975 I have had no problems at call with fuel lines pumps or clogged carbs 😱😱
@@tonyrobinson362 i use premium when towing my travel trailer. It gets more mileage than the extra cost and seems to pull better. The longer burn must help but around town reg is fine for me. It get very hot here in summer 112 deg f. i think it helps the thin air.
I ran a test and ran E10, standard and premium. I drove for 15 tanks of each, giving the car 5 tanks or the ecu to reset, then recording mileage for the next 10 tanks. I did this on 3 cars and the result was.... absolutely no difference.
Yes I agree. I used to cover 10k miles a month as a private hire driver so I know what I am talking about. My car was Audi A6 2.0 TDI. Supermarket diesel returned 50 mpg Regular BP ,Shell,Esso returned 55-60 mpg Premium Shell or BP returned 65-70 mpg I’m sure these people doing these reports only drive a few miles a day and in town so there will be very little difference in the economy.
Your big ends should not knock with thick cold oil .I always warm my 1975 jag up before I drive off if I don't the windows mist up or freeze up and it helps to keep oil pressure down 👍👍👍
No just get rid of it because one day some top knob in government will just turn your EV of because its not your turn to use the road that's just one of the controls in the pipelines 😵😵😱😱
There is more thermal energy in low octane fuel. Best performance & economy is achieved by using the lowest octance fuel your vehicle will comfortably run on without pinging or detonation. Hard starting can often be put down to running high octane fuel in an engine designed to run on lower octane fuel as the higher octane fuel has a higher flash point than low octane fuel. Several manufacturers advise against running 98 octane fuel for this reason.
There’s a bit of a fallacy the using high octane fuel wont boast horsepower. Think of it in reverse, if you use low octane fuel in a high compression engine (which is almost every modern engine) then the knock sensor will retard the timing, costing you horsepower, and never attempting to advance the timing without a cpu reboot. 30 years ago a “high compression” engine had a 10/1 ratio, today normal engines are anywhere from 11/1 to 12/1. So yes it’s could be true that once you use the cheap stuff you may not see an improvement in power (because your engine took evasive measures to save itself), but just don’t use the cheap stuff and you won’t see the power degradation to begin with.
2nd you still need to let your engine run for at least 30 seconds before driving it. Longer in the cold. That’s how long it takes for the oil to be pumped throughout the engine. The main reason you needed to warm up the older cars longe is that the choke only helped with starting the engine and warming it up. If it wasn’t warm it would potentially stall on you and run rough. Fuel injection has eliminated that problem. But Yes don’t thump it till it’s reached operating temp.
The thing is petrol weighs quite a lot, so if you fill the tank to the brim, you carry around quite a bit of unnecessary weight (unless you are planning a long trip).
I buy the cheapest petrol and in Australia we have basically three types of petrol E10 which is 10% ethanol 91 and 98 and that is it there also 98 available from a couple of servos (petrol stations) and l run 91 unleaded in both our vehicles because it is cheaper than 95 or 98 and l never use E10 because one of our vehicles has a carburator and E10 can destroy carburators also in tank petrol pumps
Aussie here also. You're wrong about there only being 3 types of petrol here. You're forgetting 95. So there's 91, E10 (which is 94 Octane), 95, and 98. Here in all servo' sell 91, 95, and 98. Accept Shell, which only sell 91 & 98. And most servo's also sell E10. That's here in Melbourne. We have a 2018 3.2 V6 Jeep Cherokee, and run E10 all the time, and never had an issue. If we can't get E10, then we put 95 in it. The car doesn't run well on 91. The car is serviced as per requirements and is well maintained. Our previous car was a 2005 Ford Falcon with a NA Barra inline 6, and we run that on E10 unless we couldn't get it, then it would be given 95. It would ping badly with 91. We've never had any mechanical issues with either car running on E10. And it's cheaper than 91 by around 4-5 cent per ltr. We just make sure the cars are serviced when required. And maintain them correctly.
Prsctically premium fuel improved fuel economy and extend the range. Premium fuel specially benificial for Direct Injection engines to reduce carbon buildup.
1st of all it’s not about what your engine is designed to do. It’s what octane your engine was tuned to use. In Australia I drive a lot of 3.8lt ecotec V6’s. Tuned to run on 91. The first thing I would do it get the ecu upgraded for premium fuel. The car would alway get a lot more power and it would alway use less fuel. It would drop the fuel consumption by 1.5 lt per 100k’s. More than enough to offset the extra cost of premium and save me $10 a tank. So if your newer cars are designed to tune themselves as they read the emissions the same thing will happen within a couple of tanks. If not find out if they have an ecu upgade for it and go for it. The premium will be better for the engine.
@@squirrelcovers6340 Actually no! Firstly ask yourself what caused the ice age 16 thousand years ago, then ask yourself what caused the ice to melt? Then research the mini ice age in the 1700's.

One could argue that petrol is not a strictly accurate description. Petroleum is the unrefined, crude oil extracted from the earth, containing a mixture of various hydrocarbons and other compounds. In contrast, gasoline is a lighter, volatile liquid obtained from the distillation and processing of petroleum.
Every mechanic that I've spoken to has informed me that regular fuel screws up your fuel injectors because it's bottom grade and missing those vital additives that are in the 95 & 98 fuels or contain considerably less....... Is that a myth and make myself and all the mechanics that I've seen over years stupid?????? Maybe you should rephrase your headline to just "people" instead of being insulting because they don't think the way you do......
I havent watched all this video yet but i know for a fact the differance iv seen it 50 plus times.... and did some studying online 91 burns faster and will give you better acceleration for a straight 6 barra engine 98 will give u better milage for sure definitely seen it so many times BUT will make your response with the engine less so not as fast...which kinda sucks but thats because as far as i read 91 burns faster and 98 burns less as quick... also adding octane boost works most the time increases acceleration some of the time dont ask me why that is but 70% of the time it works fine and increasing acceleration but some other times its a bit sluggish
Where did you get this idea from .I don't know .😵 petrol engine's have been around for over a 125 years and still we hear all these strange story's .one I have always liked is don't let your fuel to get to low because the pump will pick up all the muck on the bottom of your tank .well the fuel is always sucked from the same place the fuel pick up pipe doesn't go up and down with the fuel level 😱😱😱
@@stevebaker9709 Modern fuel pumps that are immersed in the tank do heat up if you constantly run with a low tank. The pumps rely on the fuel to help them run cool.
What about not getting gas at a station where the fuel truck s unloading gas. It kicks up sediment/dirty from the bottom of the stations tanks clogging filters and injectors
I worked for a fuel delivery firm in the early 80s in Germany, and can say that there is not much chance of getting sediments or dirty fuel, there are 2 filters in most tanks, and in the pumps as well.
E10, you are waisting money using that rubbish, i wouldn't use that rubbish in my lawn mower. And if you live in Australia E10 is only 2c cheaper than 91 unleaded. E10 burns 12% faster than 91 unleaded & you pay 2c less. Do the maths, its costing you more.
Not necessarily. While 100% gas (ethanol-free fuel) can benefit older cars or small engines by reducing potential ethanol-related issues, modern cars are designed to run efficiently on fuel with up to 10% ethanol. It depends on the vehicle and your needs
This AI vids are getting old. Also the info in this vid is mostly wrong. Primium fuels contain detergents, those help to keep modern injectors clean. Primium will not give you more power but it will increase your range.
In Europe, regular fuel is bio based with ethanol. This will fuck up your engine and clog the fuel injectors. Yes, premium fuel is much much better.
So, why show people using electric plug in chargers for EV’s when your post is about combustion fuel?
I notice the same thing, plus LPG and oil top ups. It was not needed and took away any credibility.

Premium, octane apart, has more detergent, which keeps the powertrain cleaner.
When I charge my EV, should I use regular or premium electric. I drive a Kia Ironic and my wife a Sarcastic.
@@Thecarman1994 it depends. Reg electric comes from gas but premium comes from hydro. Call the supplier and ask to change

Depending on your car, it might actually require a pre warm up .. especially if it has a turbo.

Not to blame but a major contributor. Can’t deny what is happening globally already.😊
The transmission DOES need to warm up before engaging.
The thing is petrol weighs quite a lot, so if you fill the tank to the brim, you carry around quite a bit of unnecessary weight (unless you are planning a long trip).
True but personally I can't be arsed filling up more than the once a month that I already do.
Others will have different opinions .
No where near as much as an EV battery does and that weight is there all the time charged or flat .with fuel it gets lighter as you use it 👍👍👍
Best is ethanol-FREE gasoline for ALL engines.
Hello Eddie. I knew that you had to be northern English to get the humour. I'm from middlesbrough. I've stayed here for tge weather !
All GDI engines need fuel additives (BG44K, Redline, Berryman's B-12 Chemtool, etc.)
So buy branded fuel. GDI engines also need lubes with low viscosity modifier treat..
93 Mobil and Shell have friction modifiers to reduce cylinder wear. My not be needed unless your oil has not been changed on time
Thanks!
