Shell's New Gasoline Formulation

Share this page

Ok so how do you keep a gas suspended in <span style="font-weight: bold">gas </span>equally?
So I have this little oxygen concentrator the by product is nitrogen maybe I could enrich my cheapo Sam’s gas . Sit back and make gas…. Burp..
 
I think its all hot air, well 78% of it anyway... :smirk:
 
It was on TV last night. I think it's a bunch of bunk! Another ploy to entice the general public to buy their product. So what else is new?

im still tryin ah figger out why they want ya to put this stuff in ya car tires let alone in ya gas,..whats next nitrogen filled wiper blades?... :crazy:
 
How about Helium in the tires? Might make the car lighter and easier on gas! I knew I'd come up with a good idea sooner or later.

:lol: :lol: Should certainly help reduce unsprung weight!!!
 
I'd go with hydrogen. It is slightly lighter and its like carrying 5 spare gas tanks (including the spare).
 
Anybody remember FINA's "pink air" ad campaign back in the 1960s?

All the other stations just put "plain" air in the tires; American Petrofina gave you a better quality air!

Later, when other companies began touting their special additives, American Petrofina coutered with another PR campaign: FINA's got PFLASH! It "turns red lights green," "smooths out rough roads," "improves the food at roadside restaurants" and "makes you feel less sorry you ever got a driver's license."

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
 
Of course the N2 could not remain in solution! :wall:

This is most likely some Nitrogen compound - based additive. Maybe NaCl ? :jester:
 
They never said it was gaseous nitrogen. In fact, they don't say anything about what it is. "This is really cool. It is all positive, and has no disadvantages at all. Trust us! Buy it!"

I'm really tired of that kind of thing. If you have something good, patent it to protect it, then tell us what it is. Then, the technically knowledgeable can discuss the advantages and disadvantages. If they can't do this, I'll assume, almost certainly correctly, that it's hype.
 
MadAve umm... err... bovine excretia!
