Fuel! Ethanol and Shell-V Power
I love this guy.....
BTW, my dear wife notices a difference between Sunoco (now owned by 7 Eleven) and Shell. I have now using only Shell (good gas nearest us). I never asked her about it, I just told her (ooops um... "asked" her) to start using Shell.... I told her it has additives that keep the engine clean whereas the Sunoco does not. The other day, she said the car seems to have more power on Shell! Hmm....
I can;t say my car runs "better" on Shell compared to other good gasses, but I definitly know my Porsche 2009 C2S runs odd on Sunoco.... There is a stretch on the ShureKill expressway here in Philly where if it is jammed, and you are low on gas, there is only one oasis and it is Sunoco... So whenever I get stuck and need to fuel there... my C2S definitly does not run as well.
Peace

Shell Nitro vs Cheap Gas
Ethanol... good or bad

I am a died in the wool Chevron Techron addict but when making a cross country trip you don't always have a choice.
I filled up my 2011 TTS at a Shell station and really noticed a difference. I am very open to Shell now and where I live I have a higher confidence that the nearest Shell does a better job at turning over Premium than the nearest Chevron.
Next fill will be at Shell.

Funny your wife noticed as mine does as well, so I run Shell 93 in her GTI frequently. No doubt Shell has a better additive package. The closest ive found to Shell performance is chevron and costco gas.
