I would love to get a discussion going about the various major gasoline brands widely available across North America and the differences in their additives/detergents. Mobil has always advertised their detergent qualities. I've read posts here that Shell has some good additives and Chevron supposedly has Techron in it's pump gas but I've not seen any real concrete evidence or posts to suggest this is all very real.
So is there any real data to suggest the majors are different given the same octane rating? Shell, Exxon, Texaco, Citgo, Hess, Amoco(BP), Sunoco, Mobil? We all know the gas flows through the same pipelines and is co-mingled but I was always under the impression that the additives are added at the terminals and loading racks?
Is there one best gasoline based on it's additives or detergents?
