Shell gasoline

[Bob L]

Has anyone else noticed a difference in gas mileage between brands? With Gulf and Mobil I average 39-40 MPG (on my 2014 RT). When I run Shell for a couple of tanks I jump to 43, and with the last tank was up to 45 mpg without changing the way I ride. (And this is NOT with the ECO mode on).

Yes
Some are better then others depending on how there blended.

Sunoco being one of the worst

My last tank was 26 mpg

I prefer to use Shell whenever it's available as well. Use it in all my vehicles, and yes, I have noticed a difference in gas mileage (improved)

I wonder what brand of gas they have at Costco. I normally buy my gas there.

Your mileage increase may be due the amount of ethanol in the blend. More ethanol less mpg. Costco fuel could come from any of several different refineries. They blend the additives at the pump.

Over the last 1,500 miles I've run various brands of 93 octane and my mileage has gone up to 38.4 over my total average since day 1 of 36.4 but I'm crediting the improvement to raising my shifting points and am not using ECO mode.

Shell and Costco are Tear 1 gasoline providers. Google Tear 1 to learn about the difference.

Don't pay much attention to mileage.....I get over 200 per tank so I am good.

I use Shell marine/ethanol free gas

 

[Chupaca]

Yeah..!!

always got better mileage with shell. Use it whenever I can. Never checked to see the difference. Taking a 2,000 mile trip maybe ryde up on brand X and shell on the way back.....:dontknow:

I was using Shell faithfully.

However, all our gas in Alaska comes from one refinery. Every brand gets the same stuff. The gas truck will hit all three stations in town and make one delivery after another. I am told that additives are decanted into the tanks when delivered to the gas station.

Is this right???

In the last couple months--Shell pricing structure is now 20 cents up for each grade--making it twenty cents higher per gallon more than others. I am back to using Chevron.

I get 30 - 31 on my 998 and 39 -41 on my 1330. Premium (here 90 octane) in both :spyder2:'s

No mystery gas

I'll put no mystery gas in my bike. A shell station is two blocks from my house, so the first tank of the day is always shell. Try to always use big name brand fuel when I'm out on the road too. I do think I get more miles per tank on name brand gas, than second tier gas.

They blend the additives at the pump.

The additives are either added at the refinery or into the tanker at time of pick up from the refinery. The custom additives, such as Techron are added to the tanker.
