Default New Shell Gasoline

So I was just curious if anybody has tried the new shell gas with nitrogen and if you did you notice a difference?

I own a shell station so maybe i can help clarify the new nitrogen cleaning agent...you won't notice hardly anything...it's a cleaning agent to help slowly remove "gunk"..more like a long term protection.

what do they call the new gas?

i would like to know what marketing name they're hyping.

maybe they're trying to mess with people's minds and make them think the gas has nitrous boost.

nitrogen...... nitrous..... sound similar eh

I just filled up with it yesterday... I don't think there is supposed to be any sort of "difference" that you can feel... but more like a long-term protection that as was stated previously... To me, it's just gas... We really won't every know if the stuff works or not... we just have to take them for their word.

I found a difference between the mixtures, quite a big one might I add. I feel quicker acceleration as well as improved milage




































But thats because my O2 sensors were replaced since they went bad
