What do yall think about Shell Gasoline with Nitrogen?
« on: April 14, 2009 - 09:59:58 PM »
I don't understand how Nitrogen is supposed to stick to dirt or whatever, I don't even understand how it's supposed to co-mingle with gasoline.

Exactly.  The air we breathe is mostly nitrogen. 
Does this gasoline fizz and get a head on it when you pour it into a glass?

BP is running a similar ad now. I forget the term they are using for their additive. Anyway, they always talk about cleaning the intake valve. The crud appears on the exhaust valve, doesn't it?

Lately this "junk" pump gasoline doesn't seem all too bad. But then we still have the "winter blend" being sold up here in Michigan.

Recall when they sold that gasoline that was clear like water...how did they do that ??

Don't forget to pump some into your tires, too.

First marketing was Oxygenated gas now it's Nitrogenated. Will they make up their minds?

All these years of listening to how bad NoX emissions were and why we couldn't have high compression because NoX went up and it caused acid rain and LA haze, and now they want to put more nitrogen in... ok whatever.

So...we had to drive 55 mph to "save gasoline". Now I seen Hummers doing 75 MPH getting the same mileage as the old cars.

All the posts on this thread are totally correct IMO, and good humour too.  George Carlin would give  :2thumbs:
