[QUOTE="RaYzerman19, post: 1110699, member: 18388"] You have to love marketing.... Shell says "Nitrogen Enriched Cleaning System". Nitrogen won't exist long as a liquid unless it's contents are under pressure, it condenses at -195C or -320F. So it must be some kind of nitrogen compound instead. I guess that must be "enriched". It could be lots of things, nitrous oxide, nitromethane, etc. They also say they have 5 times the cleaning agents required by government standards...... Costco (US) makes the same claim. All additives are regulated by the EPA. But there is a program called Top Tier Gas, have a read Let's go back a few years... some fuel companies actually reduced cleaning agents. Remember when Shell gas would foul up the fuel sending units of certain car brands? They paid for a lot of repairs, and the auto companies had to improve their sending units....... here we are marketing a new reputation IMHO. The main thing though, is that ethanol free stuff. Shell stations aren't too populous around here.... I did see a sign at a discount US gas station (Niagara Falls, NY) that said "Ethanol free 91 Octane available". Couldn't find it at any of the many pumps at that station........ love marketing. [/QUOTE]
