This was such an important study in 2011. Please rerun the test in 2018 now that so many gasolines have been Top Tier certified. While many news articles state the obvious: "buy Top Tier fuels" I have seen no studies that have researched and determined which of the Top Tier gasolines are the best. For example, Marathon had less than half the detergent content of BP, Shell, and Exxon in your 2011 study. Is Marathon now on par with detergent content now since their recent Top Tier certification?
11 years later and gas is still the same price as shown here. About a year ago regular was almost $5.00 a gallon. I miss it when covid was at its peak. Nobody driving and 93 octane got down to $1.57 in my area. I don't understand why gas can't just be a set price for a friggin year! Tired of this up and down constantly.
All my vehicles run Exxon 87 regular and I’ve always noticed a difference in fuel efficiency and power after each pump. I used to pump Shell regular but it seemed to be less efficient and less power than the Exxon gasoline. This is good to know although it’s old information because if I ever need to run premium high octane I’ll try shell and see if it gives me the same efficiency and power as the Exxon regular. If you run 87 go Exxon. If you run premium go Shell easy peasy!
People have been so brain washed and financially encouraged to try to find the cheapest gas that theyve forgotten that gasoline is a product, and like all products they have a range of qualities.
This may be true where you live, but in my area, we have one major petrol distribution center, it feeds all gas stations in our area, all of them, no matter the brand name.. So Whereas I am glad you have choices where you live, some areas are at the mercy of the individual station owners and their own business ethics. I normally use the same station every time I fill up as it is the best way I know to get the most consistent petrol for my tank, but that is not even 100% certain any more.
@@issavibez394 Some stations just suck. Look at the points where the tanker fills their underground tanks. Some places have them situated where water can get in. Some direct injections cars are best run on Shell, more often because it prolongs carbon build up on the valves.
A lot has changed in the 9 years since this story aired! Top Tier certified fuel is a big deal now - owner's manuals and the AAA are recommending it. Get more brands across the country involved in your test like Chevron, Quiktrip, Racetrac, etc
LOL she's concerned about the price of gas and getting as much MPG as possible yet she drives a Chevy Trailblazer and her model year gets up to 14 city, 20 highway.
Timestamp 0:03 I wish they gas prices were that price now; according to the description the video was uploaded Monday, May 23rd, 2011. Comment made: Sunday, March 6th, 2022.
price is still rediculous! it used to be 80 cents a gallon....please EXPLAIN how AMERICA is one of the top EXPORTERS of gas and WHY if we tapped into the biggest reserve EVER in North Dakota....the pumps are standing IDLE??? Corruption at all levels at the best
I definitely noticed a difference when I switched from Kangaroo gasoline here in NC to Shell gasoline. My current car didn't smell like burning oil anymore out of the exhaust and my car actually ran a little bit better. It also got rid of some slight knocking in the engine of my old car and even made it rev more lively. TL;DR use high quality gasoline. It's like putting good blood vs. bad blood into your system. Only it's your car that will be suffering.
These tests don't seem to make sense. There may be an explanation, but the results for both Exxon and Mobil fuel should be identical since they are one and the same. Perhaps one station is positioned/marketed differently, or the fuel tested came from different batches, but the results don't really add up. Also, these tests obviously aren't technically reliable if the tests only include results obtained from one fuel sample from each company's station.
Chevron here in California is way better than shells by a long shot I drive a 2005 Tahoe 5.3 and if I use shell regular it drinks that shit like crazy it doesn’t last me a week , chevron regular last over a week almost two and it runs better I don’t understand it but that’s my experience
Ever since last year, I’ve been the biggest Sunoco convert. I was on my way back to Charleston, WV from my aunt’s funeral in Bridgeville, PA. I’d stopped at a Sunoco in Cannonsburg and filled up my 2012 Toyota Camry SE with their 87 octane (‘Regular’), and the fuel economy I’d gotten on the remainder of my trip was nothing short of phenomenal. Whereas my Camry had still been doing really well with my previous favorite (Exxon; 28 mpg), I actually got a stunning 31 mpg with the Sunoco. To quote a certain famous TH-camr, “Very impressive!” Unfortunately, we don’t have very many Sunoco stations here in WV, but when I found out that there was one not even 2 minutes away from my apartment, you’d better believe I started filling up there religiously. And you know something? My car’s acceleration actually got even better than it already was with Exxon! 😁⛽️🚘
what’s crazy is I used to go with whatever was cheaper, but I noticed whenever I went to mobil and filled up I got better mpg and my engine seemed to run smoother. I thought it was just a coincidence, but I began using mobil exclusively despite price and noticed better performance. after doing further research and now seeing this video, it only confirms what I’ve been seeing. When I bought cheap non top tier gas like speedway or prime I’d burn gas a lot faster but I didn’t really connect the dots. I’m glad it wasn’t just in my head
I’ve actually noticed this kind of thing as well. When I took a trip up to the Potomac Valley (Harper’s Ferry and Antietam) last year, I filled up at a Sheetz just a minute or so down the road from my hotel in Martinsburg, WV. While it wasn’t exactly bad gasoline per se, the one thing I did notice was that it burned much faster than the Exxon 87 I’d filled up with prior to leaving Charleston the day before. Meanwhile, if there was a non-Top Tier gasoline I would use, it’s Kroger’s. Nothing special, but not too bad either…
Ever since Sunoco was added to that Top Tier list I've been going back to Sunoco. Otherwise my approved list of brands for my car goes: Sunoco, BP/Amoco, Shell, and Exxon/Mobil.
3:23 Exxon and Mobil had drastically different quality results, even though ExxonMobil is the parent company and both samples of fuel should be identical.
Have you ever noticed that its people who are driving trucks or SUV's that are complaining of gas prices? I never see anyone with a small car or Prius complaining! Haha
No wonder consumers are confused. This story was wrong. Fuel additives do NOT increase mileage per gallon. And the impact of additives is minimized now that nearly all auto manufacturers are moving to GDI engines.
If you want the price of gas to go down, stop using so much of it. This pandemic has shown, when people aren't using as much of it, the price gets a whole lot cheaper.
And when our dumbass president Biden decides to be an environmentalist’ and shut down the cheap economy for gas by cutting off the keystone pipeline and refusing to buy barrels of oil from Russia And letting Russia declare war on Ukraine. Yeahhh that’s probably what made gas prices increase
I usually run sunoco or if I'm in the area there's a very small gas station around here that only has 2 pumps not digital the old 80's kind it's the same price sometimes cheaper and they pump it for you.. they also have a service garage.. real old school
This means that even though a brand is top tier certified, they are still not equal as evidenced by the amount of detergents in them. I hope they included Costco has in their test.
They did not. However, Costco detergency in their fuels are one of the highest in the industry. Top Tier rated, Costco fuels contain 5X the amount of detergent than required by law. Most Top Tier brands contain 3X the amount.
This video showed the same test yours did, by the same people. However this video said Exxon had 31.0mg, and yours says Shell has 31mg in Super unleaded. Why is that?
exxon/mobil are owned by the same people. I'm just curious to those tankers who refill gas stations. so when you guys devil the stations do you guys put additives after devil or does it come already pre mixed? I normally fill up at exxon and mobil and notice some of the gas stations don't directly get their gas from their own refiners. rather a third party.
I know Toyota only recommends top tier. But if I’m in a jam I fill a small amount if I don’t go to a top tier company. But my cars mostly gets shell, Bp, Exxon and Sunoco. Plus all companies add different types of additives and it’s best to mix it up. Some have better winter blends as well as hot weather blends. Some have better corrosive fighting agents some have better cleaning agents. But all top tier is good. Even Costco sells top tier fuels
In my area, we have a number of BP's but only 1 Shell. I've never had bad luck with either one. I've heard bad things about Wal-Mart & Road Ranger but haven't heard anything about Sam's Club. I've used theirs without any I'll effects. However, I mainly use BP because of their Driver Rewards card.
LOL ROFLMAO! Yeah but she might get 100mpg going downhill due to the Marvel's Juggernaut effect and gravity. Going uphill she probably gets 10mph in a Prius.
Lets pick on the tattoo and stupid colored hair freaks while we're at it. If we're going to make fun of people, we may just as well make fun of all of them.
So, my car takes 93 Octane or higher, and I went to speedway because I heard they had better gas, and my car started running kind of crappy. It would stutter on start up, and didn't feel the same, switched to Mobil's synergy, and the car runs amazing. So yes, it does matter, especially in higher performance trims.
Opps may have sent message to wrong person. My apologies. I was referring to the writer who made fun of the persons weight. I bet they’re not much to look at weather thin or fact
In a sense it does. The higher the compression ratio of the engine, the higher octane is needed. 103 octane (Race Gas) will increase HP on almost all cars.
The question I have is "Will adding gas additives make this any better?" in the winter we add dry gas, in the summer I add a bit of fuel injector cleaner, is that all a waste of money?
make sure the kind youre using has PEA in it such as Gumout additives that is the most effective cleaning agent as it actually withstands engine temps in the combustion chamber.
Seafoam is what I'd suggest. Either that or Lucas. I wouldn't suggest Gumout. It works, but not as effectively as Lucas's products or Seafoam. Check out Chrisfix's channel where he experiments with multiple fuel additives.
So difference is about 10 mg. of addictives between regular and premium. But price difference is $0.50.10 mg difference per 100 ml.Thats 380 mg per gallon. 380 mg. is 0.38 grams.My fuel tank is 20 gallons, so 20 x 0.38=7.6 grams of addictives per tank. But for $10 more in price difference between regular and premium. To put in perspective 1 quarter coin weights 5.67 grams, so for approximately for 1 coin of weight im paying $10 more. sounds like it not worth it, if only addictive is tacking into equation, but primium gas has better octane ratings as well. Does anybody know good fuel addictive that i can buy on my own and just add when fuelling up with regular gas? And im not talking about injector cleaners. More like piston cleaner....
+albert johnson - Isn't this sort of easy to figure out on your own, though? Maybe not specifics, but don't you fill up from time to time at different stations and notice a difference in your car or the mileage you got with your tank of different gas? If you're a new driver, OK. But if you've been driving awhile, I find it odd (like the mom in this video) that people don't notice the difference in the gas they buy from different makers.
It’s funny because speedway gas and kwik trip gas make my truck run like shit and I get 20/30 less miles a tank. I haven’t filled up at these gas stations in a while
I have 2002. Ford F-150 V8. Lifted big tires etc..... I also had terrible luck in mileage and performance with Speedy. 7 11 Citgo. gas etc...... I switched over to G&M fuel stations. I use there High octant 91. Makes my truck run like a dream better gas mileage & performance freeway city stop and go traffic mountains etc...... I’m in California good luck, prices are good to 4.09 a gallon today cash.
Deposits only build up if your engine is hitting 280-300 degrees F. If you don’t drive hard, you shouldn’t have any carbon deposits ever. Likewise, you can clean your engine by getting it hot, over 400 degrees to melt away deposits. Make sure that’s right after an oil change.
Yeah but premiun gas is expensive no a days as long as you stick with one company. Tha produces good gas like bp, shell or exxon whether 87 or 93 octane you can do no wrong.
I've heard claims that a squirt or two of diesel could help prolonge engine life and gas milage, not sure if its true or not. Anyone here know? I know you don't go crazy and pull a gallon of diesel in your car, literllay just a squirt or two?
2pacnasgame For it’s North American operations, Chevron only operates in the western United States and parts of Canada, as well as near the Gulf of Mexico.
Fantastic. They significantly exceed even the Top Tier detergency rating in their gas. There’s literally very few that exceed top tier standards, but they do.
Sounds like exxon and Bp did a ad with the news station. I saw videos from gas experts its all about the same and premium from regular is the same. So just go to cheapest place possible imo. Talking about it builds up these things in your car sounds like sales pitch to me. Especially when he says don't go to different places go to same place. He might as well stamp bp and exxon on his forehead while hes at it.
In the last 2 month shell sold most of the city gas stations to speedway I'm pissed at this because now most gas stations are circle k or speedway in the whole city I only put shell, cheveron, and valero on car and truck.
All gas comes from the same wells. It's the company that adds the detergents that make the difference. Some gas stations will have the top tier logo sticker on there pumps. There's also a website you can check out as well. Top tier gasoline. I use shell the most then Bp or Exxon and mobile as much as I can. But there all required to have a certain amount of detergents in there fuel. But top tier companies like chevron, shell, Bp, Exxon mobile and Valero go beyond the epa requirements.
When you right, you right. And Brian is definitely right. In my area, all the gas - ALL the gas - comes from the same distributor, CityServiceValcon. (Yup, they spell it as one word.) If you go to their website, you'll see a little "retail brands" display at the bottom of the page...that has the logo of every brand of gasoline sold up here. Their plant has a lot of big tanks for the "raw" gasoline, or blendstock, and a lot of little tanks for the additives. If Jifi Stop in town A orders 5000 gallons of Exxon Regular, the terminal operator pours the right amount of Exxon Regular additives into a truck and fills it up with blendstock. When the driver gets back to the terminal, he can mix up a batch of Texaco Premium, or Mobil Midgrade, or whatever they need.
Nick V is correct, but I've been running a long-term experiment and have found that I've been getting consistently better mileage with Mobil-branded gas over Exxon-branded gas. I've tried 3 different Exxons, and 3 different Mobils, and with the same route driving day in and day out, Mobil nets me an average of three extra MPGs over Exxon. I'd like to know why.
Europe and US use a different method of measuring octane levels. The 91 in the US is roughly the same as 97 in Europe. It's called the RON index in Europe and the AKI in US

The question I have is "Will adding gas additives make this any better?" in the winter we add dry gas, in the summer I add a bit of fuel injector cleaner, is that all a waste of money?
make sure the kind youre using has PEA in it such as Gumout additives that is the most effective cleaning agent as it actually withstands engine temps in the combustion chamber.
Seafoam is what I'd suggest. Either that or Lucas. I wouldn't suggest Gumout. It works, but not as effectively as Lucas's products or Seafoam. Check out Chrisfix's channel where he experiments with multiple fuel additives.
+Ryan Alvidres-Ivie youre a fool. Seafoam only works on two stroke motors. Seafoam has no PEA. Seafoam is a whole lot of white smoke and no cleaning.
+MrClayFTW Noted. Thanks for that clarification, though the rudeness was unwelcome and unnecessary.
Not entirely but careful some can damage catalytic converters
So difference is about 10 mg. of addictives between regular and premium. But price difference is $0.50.10 mg difference per 100 ml.Thats 380 mg per gallon. 380 mg. is 0.38 grams.My fuel tank is 20 gallons, so 20 x 0.38=7.6 grams of addictives per tank. But for $10 more in price difference between regular and premium. To put in perspective 1 quarter coin weights 5.67 grams, so for approximately for 1 coin of weight im paying $10 more.
sounds like it not worth it, if only addictive is tacking into equation, but primium gas has better octane ratings as well.
Does anybody know good fuel addictive that i can buy on my own and just add when fuelling up with regular gas? And im not talking about injector cleaners. More like piston cleaner....
they fooled us I thought gas was gas and I was going with Speedway not no more..
+albert johnson - Isn't this sort of easy to figure out on your own, though? Maybe not specifics, but don't you fill up from time to time at different stations and notice a difference in your car or the mileage you got with your tank of different gas? If you're a new driver, OK. But if you've been driving awhile, I find it odd (like the mom in this video) that people don't notice the difference in the gas they buy from different makers.
It’s funny because speedway gas and kwik trip gas make my truck run like shit and I get 20/30 less miles a tank. I haven’t filled up at these gas stations in a while
Speedway is absolutely terrible
I have 2002. Ford F-150 V8. Lifted big tires etc..... I also had terrible luck in mileage and performance with Speedy. 7 11 Citgo. gas etc......
I switched over to G&M fuel stations. I use there High octant 91. Makes my truck run like a dream better gas mileage & performance freeway city stop and go traffic mountains etc...... I’m in California good luck, prices are good to 4.09 a gallon today cash.

Deposits only build up if your engine is hitting 280-300 degrees F. If you don’t drive hard, you shouldn’t have any carbon deposits ever. Likewise, you can clean your engine by getting it hot, over 400 degrees to melt away deposits. Make sure that’s right after an oil change.
Deposits occur by "driving hard" ?
Doesn't the hotter an engine get, like a long road trip help clear away carbon deposits?
Are you a member of the SAE? What you just spewed is garbage…
Thats why I only use shell! Their the best! Especially their diesel fuel. Makes my dads 01 ram Cummins drive so good
What about Costco and chevron?
What about the Puma gas station off Gary and holt in Pomona??
Take the ethanol out of gasoline. Problem solved
That ethanol has damaged alot of fuel systems in Cars lol causing them to run poorly
Why wasn't Sunoco tested?
Yeah but premiun gas is expensive no a days as long as you stick with one company. Tha produces good gas like bp, shell or exxon whether 87 or 93 octane you can do no wrong.
I've heard claims that a squirt or two of diesel could help prolonge engine life and gas milage, not sure if its true or not. Anyone here know? I know you don't go crazy and pull a gallon of diesel in your car, literllay just a squirt or two?
Everyone talks shit on arco /bp and theyre at the top of the list. And this was 12 years ago when bp and arco weren't "top tier"
so why was chevron not on the list chevron with techron is expensive out of all gas stations
2pacnasgame For it’s North American operations, Chevron only operates in the western United States and parts of Canada, as well as near the Gulf of Mexico.
I just use the cheapest. I am not keeping my car forever!
You do realize there is a limited supply of fuel on this planet and we are running out quick. Why not use the most efficient source?
Fuck
No
Maybe if that hippo lost 100 pounds she wouldn't have to complain about her car's mileage >.>
Lol...
That's a "she"?
+Peter Wilkins yeah in a car with at least 1000lbs towing capacity
MrClayFTW
more like 400 pounds when her and her piglet are in the car.
LMAO. Sorry for laughing, but that made the day.
missed chevron
Lol so BPs 87 octane @17.2 vs SpeedWays 93 @10.6? I knew there is a difference, but dang...
But... Hess Gas Station Was Still around by me back then....they turned into Speedway Gas Stations...So speedway is Ohio based??
I would hate to see her grocery bill 😒. If she went ziplining she could clear a new path thru the rainforest.
Lol u trippin bro 😂 🤣 💀
God damn😂
I pump Mobil should i switch to shell?
Robert The Great yes! Try v-power and you’ll see the difference in your car
Even regular!!
@@rogerajl86No
so how does COSTCO gas compare to these?
Crap
Fantastic. They significantly exceed even the Top Tier detergency rating in their gas. There’s literally very few that exceed top tier standards, but they do.
Lol. "3 times less than shell"
so it's a negative number? XD
I understand she meant a third, but I couldn't help but go "hmmmm"
Nearly 4 times more would of worked better
How much ethanol do these gas types have?
The Exxon mobile probably has a lot of ethanol. And other additives to burn cleaner and get better mpg.
@@GMC.Sonoma.4.3Please educate yourself. Ethenol makes gas mileage worse not better.
@@jamesvw769 okay genius. What makes gas mileage better? Serious question
@@GMC.Sonoma.4.3 Well.#1 Non ethenol fuel. #2 Small engine like a Honda R18. #3 Dont smash the gas. That easy.
Sounds like exxon and Bp did a ad with the news station. I saw videos from gas experts its all about the same and premium from regular is the same. So just go to cheapest place possible imo. Talking about it builds up these things in your car sounds like sales pitch to me. Especially when he says don't go to different places go to same place. He might as well stamp bp and exxon on his forehead while hes at it.
Lol
Don't forget about jet pep Lol 😂
I've never had good luck with BP gas. I always get lower gas mileage.
I swear raceway gas is made out of piss to my it burns so fast and bad lol
Sounds like Sheetz!!! LOL
engines are meant to run on gasoline,not detergents and ethanol
Without it, the engine will break down and will have to be replaced due to corroded engine pistons.
Engines would run better using additives bc clean engine means more performance dirty poor quality fuel affects it
Jeez people just fill up wherever is the cheapest and run some fuel injector cleaner a few times a year
Chevron?
76?
Missed these, & I thought Exxon & Mobil were the same???
+Joe Jessica Those are actually the only 2 brands I use.
BP all the way, YEAH !
March 2023 California gas prices average $5/gal
Shell baby!!!
What about Kum & Go? They're popping up all over the place here.
In the last 2 month shell sold most of the city gas stations to speedway I'm pissed at this because now most gas stations are circle k or speedway in the whole city I only put shell, cheveron, and valero on car and truck.
ExxonMobil joined forces in 1999. So how does Exxon (21.2) has EXACTLY DOUBLE the detergent of Mobil (10.6)? Hmmm. Can't trust anyone but yourself.
what about Chevron an 76, where does tht fit in
Chevron is top tier gasoline. The above epa requirements. The fuel additives are good too.
+Brian Robbins thnks,, thts important to me
All gas comes from the same wells. It's the company that adds the detergents that make the difference. Some gas stations will have the top tier logo sticker on there pumps. There's also a website you can check out as well. Top tier gasoline. I use shell the most then Bp or Exxon and mobile as much as I can. But there all required to have a certain amount of detergents in there fuel. But top tier companies like chevron, shell, Bp, Exxon mobile and Valero go beyond the epa requirements.
When you right, you right. And Brian is definitely right.
In my area, all the gas - ALL the gas - comes from the same distributor, CityServiceValcon. (Yup, they spell it as one word.) If you go to their website, you'll see a little "retail brands" display at the bottom of the page...that has the logo of every brand of gasoline sold up here. Their plant has a lot of big tanks for the "raw" gasoline, or blendstock, and a lot of little tanks for the additives. If Jifi Stop in town A orders 5000 gallons of Exxon Regular, the terminal operator pours the right amount of Exxon Regular additives into a truck and fills it up with blendstock. When the driver gets back to the terminal, he can mix up a batch of Texaco Premium, or Mobil Midgrade, or whatever they need.
I only use Shell gas
I thought mobile was great.... now im going for exxon or bp
Elie J-louis same here 👌👌
Mobil is Exxon. Same company. Same gas.
Nick V is correct, but I've been running a long-term experiment and have found that I've been getting consistently better mileage with Mobil-branded gas over Exxon-branded gas. I've tried 3 different Exxons, and 3 different Mobils, and with the same route driving day in and day out, Mobil nets me an average of three extra MPGs over Exxon. I'd like to know why.
Same gas. Same company. Period. The why has to do with things that can't be duplicated exactly regardless of driving the same route every day.
Elie J-louis Mobil is exxon
I find Chevron to be like exon
Kwik Trip gas rules MN and Wis.
What 87 Octane? In germany you wont find any gas below 95 octane.
Yes, and you won't find any gas in Germany below $7 a gallon either.
In California you usually see 87, 89, and 91. It’s rare when you see higher . The highest I seen is 100
Europe and US use a different method of measuring octane levels. The 91 in the US is roughly the same as 97 in Europe. It's called the RON index in Europe and the AKI in US
No Chevron?
