Exxon Synergy increased performance claims?

[Vern_in_IL]

Exxon(Mobil) is really advertising their Synergy fuel, marketing is high around here.... except we have no Exxon stations.

How does Synergy stack up against V-Power?

Or is Exxon blowing hot air like Marathon does with their "STP" additives?

It's literally all the same [censored]. The only difference you'll find is running low detergent gas from junk non-chain gas stations in a direct injected car.

Just use any Top Tier fuel.

Top tier. Bottom tier... I've used them all and never noticed any difference. No gas has ever made my car go vroooom more than any other.

I notice different diesels and including additives with diesel but never on a gas engine. Another vote for top tier since detergents are a good thing

I hope you are not being ignorant, and used a calculator. Because you are contradicting what I have researched, using a calculator, and my question is not about that, it is how Synergy stacks up against V-Power. Now this would be easier if I had a ExxonMobil station nearby for testing, but I don't and posted here to get good knowledge. V-Power has consistently increased mpg by .5 to 1+ on long trips, I don't respect you.

Lmao! What Vern? I said I have never experienced any difference between brands of fuel and that leads you to say you don't respect me? I wasn't looking for your respect, but dang. Unless you're a long haul trucker I probably log many more miles on the road than you, and I have logged and measured performance, and I have never noticed any discernable difference between brands of fuel. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. .5 - 1 mpg increase on 'long trips'. Wow. How many trips are you talking about here Vern? 3.. 4? 100 'long trips?'
