Interesting all this fuel talk. In the UK many independent car magazines, motoring supplements recommend Shell and Texaco as they have the best 'Detergent Packs'. 'Supermarket Fuels' as they have now been nicknamed, which are a bit cheaper than the likes of Shell and Texaco, maybe 3 pence per litre, are often said to leave deposits which in the long term can cause problems. >From reading many Agony aunt style columns in the motoring supplements of newspapers, it does appear that there is an obvious link between the cheaper Supermarket fuels and problems with modern injection engines. I now always use Shell Optimax and have noticed a benefit in fuel economy (which covers the extra 3 pence per litre) and the car starts and runs better. In the UK where we are paying about £4.50 ($8.00) per gallon the extra 3 pence per litre pales into insignificance So to conclude, I think there is enough evidence to prove that not all fuels are equal Just my 2 pence James To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
