    Question Anyone try new Shell nitrogen enriched gasoline?

    Has anyone here tried using that new Shell Nitrogen Enriched Gasoline I filled my tank up with it last week and my car runs much better now. It even fixed a problem that I was having with my oxygen sensors. If you give it a try just make sure you use up all the old gas in your fuel line before making any judgements about it. I'm also getting (on average) 3 extra miles per gallon with it. Just wondering how others here are doing with it

    I honestly don't know what the heck is up with that new formulation.

    But I've also noticed that my car's been responding better - via datalogs, so this is hard data....

    However, at the same time, I've only got an "n of 3," since I've only filled-up twice since the switch over in my area.

    I was, to be frank, quite scared, at first, when I saw that something had changed in their formulation, as my current mapping is specifically for 93-octane (midwestern) gasoline - and in that she's pretty sensitive to octane-grade (in the half a dozen or so instances where I've gotten "skunked gas" in the car, since I've owned her, every time that's happened, my knock-light goes absolutely crazy, and the dynamic timing modifier just drops to the floor, enough to cause the car to actually not only pull timing, but drop to wastegate boost only.....

    But so far, so good.

    Knock-on-wood.

    I think it may be in all of their gasoline pump offerings, but it's definitely a part of the standard V-Power mix.

    I have been a long time Chevron user. 87 is the recommended octane for my ride but In the past I have tried Shell 87 and it made my ride ping.. Other brands I did not experience this issue. From what I'm seeing here it may be time to give Shell a try again.
