Where does it come from bad gasoline? Investigation of the expert "Driving"
The quality of gasoline is a dark matter. Somehow one of the heads of the fuel company has complained in a private conversation: they say, on this gas station on the Vyborg highway, it always seems to be order, but the God of God to refuse there on Friday evening. But the speech then went on a solid brand. On the basis of one of these, we went with the inspection.
Fuel economy is needed not only to save money, but also to reduce pollution. Here are several important tipsTo see how we can save fuel and be happier, because we reduce our expenses and keep calm while driving.
What is high-quality gasoline?
Fuel in a night or early morning: this is a phenomenon that we often do not realize. The oil is expanding with a temperature increase. This extension causes less energy production, if it is fed during the hottime. Fuel will burn faster than you imagine. The best time for burning the car - early in the morning or later at night.
Kolodochkin Mikhail "Driving"
Honestly, for ten years of the fuel expertise, I only once came across the crawled gasoline colleagues. We found the place at the Kaluga highway, where on one side was located "Lukoilovskaya" gas station, and on the right almost the same, but already "Licolovskaya". The difference is in one beak and in the top ten missing units of the octane number. And also in the insane challenge the drug selling there, which, by the way, was three rubles per liter cheaper than the neighbors across the road. In the laboratory, then said unequivocally: "It is not gasoline!" And soon after the publication, the curious sign from the track disappeared.
There is a scientific reason why you should do it. Avoid a complete throttle when filling the fuel: in fuel pump There are three modes of operation. If you use a large throttle, it will easily evaporate. Therefore, try to fill the slower speed when you are at self-service station, or instruct the service personnel.
Do not burn when the fuel filling tank fills the underground storage. It is important to note this when the tankers fill fuel on the gas station, the whole dirt that is settled on the bottom is disturbed, and if you refuel at the same time that it can get into your tank truck along with the fuel - it can affect your engine.
But what to wait from the knowingly expensive refueling?
It so happened that on the debt of the service we were on the Shelovsk Nefteubase near Podolsky. In fact, we had to show exemplary fuel trucks - and really showed. But how to stay from the eidny questions on other fuel topics?
What is my attitude to the shell dressing network? Neutral. Among the advantages:
Regular tire pressure test: tire pressure must be checked once every two weeks. It helps to reduce resistance while moving, thereby increasing your mileage. In your car there is a label when you open the driver's seat that tells you about tire pressure.
But when you drive along the highway, please keep tire pressure, as recommended by the manufacturer, because the tire heats up when rotating. If you have more air pressure when the temperature rises, it can expand, thereby increasing the pressure on the tire.
Here you first fill, and then you pay.
It always works toilet and you can wash your hands.
This is a branded refueling with a loud name, and therefore in the process of refueling as if involuntarily towering in their own eyes.
But there are also disadvantages:
It is more expensive here than most others.
Shellovskiy gas station is poorly developed - they need to look for a long time.
In our Zarulevian examinations Shell never blown.
So about the neutral, I, perhaps, bent - for me, disadvantaged, so I personally prefer BP. Sometimes carry. As a last resort - LUKOIL. Why in extreme? Because they never learned to refuel full tank. Yes, and the operator near the column is present, then no.
It can explode, if it is a pipe bus or faster to pierce. Clean unnecessary items from the car. Usually we forget or lazy to shoot objects and accumulate things if we do not lose places in the boot. It is important that you remove all unwanted items when you start moving. For each extra kilogram of weight, additional fuel will be required, which reduces the mileage.
Replace the spark plugs: once in 5 years you must replace the spark plugs, use a candle better qualitynot the usual, which comes with a spare car. It improves fuel combustion, thereby increasing the mileage and improving the operation of the air conditioner.
But today we are going on Shell.
What I have Shell like, so this is a branded coloring. And I also remember how a few years ago it was possible to participate in a conversation with the vice-president of the company David Parret. The educated intelligent man was nice to talk. Especially since I immediately went to the meeting to the then Vazov Tilea. I do not want to remember about him, I will only say that the difference was crazy.

If you can find a reliable mechanic, then you can do it at a low price. There are many myths about refueling errors: on Mondays refueling cheaper, telephonization on the gasoline pump is dangerous, and branded gasoline is better for the engine. We will show you what is behind this.
Of course, you heard a lot of myths about refueling yourself, and also use one or another trick to save money. Although the stations of the brand often add additives, they do not affect productivity and range of engines. Mondays fuel refuel cheaper: This statement was true once, but today it is not. SAMI cheap refueling Fuel between 18 and 20 hours.: All fuel distributors are attached to the ban on the use of mobile phone. This is justified by the fact that the phone drops and the battery dissolves. This can call sparks. However, this case is unknown. Low tire pressure is fuel waste. It is also indicated again to check the tire pressure so that the fuel consumption does not increase is unnecessarily. Low tire pressure is only 0, 2 bar too little increases rolling resistance and allows you to slightly increase fuel consumption. We will show you like you. Gasoline reserves are prohibited: it seems tempting to stock gasoline and diesel at a low price. However, this is permitted up to 100 liters. You can not store more fuel at home. In addition, the age of gasoline and diesel fuel It may lead to engine damage after long-term storage. Sugar in the tank destroys the engine: in the tank foreign bodies did not lose anything. Only sugar can score fuel filters and injectors with their molecules. Danger of explosion at accidents: In many militants, cars explode in more or less innocuous accidents. However, for explosiveness, the tank must first be damaged, and the contents should be combined with air to form an explosive mixture. Therefore, the explosion as a result of the accident is very rare.
- However, the quality of fuel is regulated by law in Germany.
- Today the price changes to a greater degree depending on the time of day.
We are met at the entrance. Cute fuel trucks and even more pretty employees. Well, business men, of course ... begin to communicate. Where does shell take her gasoline? Not in Holland, of course: far and expensive. The carrier is Avtk, with the representatives of which we talk, gets gasoline in the metropolitan capotic, Ryazan, Ufa or Yaroslavl. Subsequently, they serve Moscow, Tula, Smolensk, Bryansk and Lipetsk.
Heinrich Heine University of Düsseldorf. If the weekend approach, liter prices for benzo filling stations increase. New tests show that even during the day prices ranges significantly - up to 17 cents, in the evening cheaper than in the morning. The Federal Association of Free Filling Stations justifies this more high expenses For staff: We pay night bons to employees, but at the same time we do less turnover. Hawcap does not take into account these considerations: it sounds unusual. Personnel costs are fixed costs and do not affect the price of a liter. Consumers are also surprised. In early morning hours The first passengers in the way that provide growing demand. If you are still driving in a car's pocket and a liqueur-breeding machine, they don't care that it is not worth about high prices - in the end, the employer pays for the fact that Berndt is leading.
- At the top it is even up to 17 cents.
- Why prices so high in the morning?
Then the little performance begins. The manager says: The company buys Russian fuel, after which its quality ... increases! Well, it is not even funny: how long is it? They agreed that Shell does not worsen the quality of Russian fuel during transportation and storage. You can still believe. However, the manager did not believe it: it seems he really thinks differently.
Cars are very expensive for their drivers, and one of the most important costs is associated with gasoline refuel; That is why there are interesting tricks to bring them out and save. The fuel industry has studied the consumption of its customers to secure prices for new customers and increase them in those days that usually tend to fill out ordinary. For this reason, it is very helpful to know that energy companies do not use you.
The cheapest days and places for fuel
In those days that require greatest demand, prices are growing, but, on the contrary, with a smaller amount of customers, they reduce them in the form of advertising claims. As soon as we learn about this operation with companies, we can expect the following ways. Weekend prices increase gasoline prices as a whole, since Saturday day for refueling is more expensive, and Monday is the most economical day.
Below we collected the most common issues that you have to hear in relation to gasoline and their use from both our readers and various forums.
Do they buy good fuel in dense Russia? The husks are nodding - they say, it fully complies with Russian guests, and the company refinery carries out its input control. For what parameters did not specify. Question about octane number Take a joke: they say, well, it is obvious. I had to remind that technical Regulations Not imposed on this number of accurate requirements: they say, not lower than 80 - and okay. Do not argue with us, but hurry to show fuel trucks.
There are no questions for fuel trucks - take a look at the photo. Wellected by cameras and antennas so that no one is nobody. Fuel - in the expensive aluminum container born abroad. I was pleased with the fun picture on the right door - especially for those good people behind the wheel, which in traffic jams tormented to climb the fuel carrier almost under the bumper.
If one of the most typical outflow operations in our country is approaching, do not hurry and fill your deposit in advance, since gasoline distributors will take advantage of the situation. It's not just when, but where. Try to refuel roads, highways and cities, since places in cities or on the outskirts of cities is usually cheaper. Gas stations In shopping centers and industrial centers are always the cheapest. In addition, in those that are located on the landfills, do not even need to use discount coupons when buying: the final price of sale is the cheapest.
Shell has no carriers - neither in Russia or in the world. Is this good or bad? Here everyone is wave to do, as it is convenient for him, the consumer needs good fuel and nothing more.
On the oilbase purely. Shooting and talking to mobile phones near refueling is prohibited: There are cases of unauthorized sparking of embedded batteries. Yes, the lithium batteries have often been often running away: sometimes they really behave aggressively.
On the contrary, in some cases hypermarkets to make a cheaper price, you will have to make a purchase there. Another way to influence the price through the location is determined with taxes that each autonomous region applies. Find out which communities have a higher tax that increases prices for fuel.
For more questions, you can also check the geoportal of the Ministry of Industry. On this portal you will find information about all filling stations in Spain with their total prices Without a discount, you can also take a portal with you in the form of an application. Almost all carriers know this service and regularly use it as a work tool.
And I am again about bad gasoline. Where does he come from?
So that the huslons do not nod to "not our districts with other brands," I remind you about their press conference dedicated to the frequent cases of the so-called oil plague, that is, the transformation motor oil In tar, followed by motors overhaul. Then the speaker from the West famously passed on the benzocolones and stated that the wines of everything is extreme low quality Gasoline in our country! At my then the question is what he thinks about SHELL refueling, I did not hear the answer then. But maybe I will hear now. I ask the forehead, why in all Zarulevian examinations their fuel turns out to be in the tail? In particular, the content of sulfur.
The last advice for you to know when it is cheaper refueling, is the oldest one of all. This is a question of science, gasoline is sold by liters, and colder, the same amount of gasoline condenses its volume lower. For this reason, you will have the same liter for a smaller price.
Other ways to get the cheapest gas
There are points of glasses, discounts on maps and other shares that offer substantial discounts. New mobile applications constantly updated and send you to the cheapest gas station next to your position. If you follow these tips, you can save up to 10 cents per liter and about 5 euros for refueling, which is important.
The question clearly dislike. Doubts about the competence of the laboratory, I will note: they say, "this leg is the one who needs a leg." What gasoline we checked? Best: V-Power!
A, well, then understand! - explain to me. - Here is the additive, most likely, and to blame. But she does not shell, but BASF or Chevron, so - Sorry: the question is not to us ...
The pride of the oil dump is the so-called lower fuel bulk. Usually poured on top, as in the barrel at the cottage, and then everything is completely environmentally friendly and hermetically ... two cubes per minute. The operator does not climb upstairs, and therefore no one will fall into the tank and will not drop there mobile phone ...
Iceland is the land that remained in our hearts, and we have already talked about it before. We started with the fact that you gave an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat to make a trip along the road in this country, providing a more emotional point of view, and we stayed there with the promise to return to the topic to help you organize a genre business in the best way.
Let's not forget that Iceland is perfect for traveling along the road, and there are many good reasons for this: no movement, and this is a continuous series of exciting landscapes. At the same time, however, it is an island full of wildlife and characterized by extreme weather conditions, so we want to provide you with useful technical information from our personal experience.
On this, in general, the search for a weak link could be stopped. There is no guilt. Fuel trucks - super. Drivers do not have the physical ability to spoil products. Input control of the petroleum marriage does not reveal.
So there are no problems? Communism won?
Well, not quite, - explain to me. - Of course, on some refills, probably, sometimes it is possible, but we handle that here, we have a full order on our refuse. And on any gas station you can see the fuel quality passport.
The choice of route is obviously subjective and depends on your personal interests and the number of days available for your trip. For example, in two weeks you can safely get around the island, including more remote and wild areas, such as the Western interior or fjords.
The best way to sew a trip on the way is to take a beautiful map of Iceland, mark the sights on it and finally calculate distances and travel time. If you do not want to see all this, do not be sad, because you still have a reason to return.
Choosing a car is very important moment Your Icelandic trip, because driving in Iceland is not quite as done in other European countries. The weather is always unpredictable, and we must be prepared in any case. Then you must weigh the choice based on some essential factors, such as the season and route. In my opinion, it is better to spend a little more, but travel safely and quietly.
It is not interesting. Well, as an ordinary kettle can understand that it is poured by exactly the fuel, which is indicated in a piece of paper? In no way!
That frankly surprised me, this is the next fact. It turned out that in the same container (read, fuel supply compartment, you can alternately flood completely different fuel. Today is the 98th, tomorrow - diesel fuel. For some reason, it seemed to me that sacred. Yes, and now it seems to be honest. However, they assure me that in Europe do the same. Because the tanks of fuel carriers are such good that there are practically no traces of previously filled fuel on their walls, and the sensor fixes even a tiny residue almost 50 ml. In other words, no mix different species Fuel does not happen.
Well, perhaps - I do not know. But there is another question: how to store fuel from different plants on the oil refuse. Let's say, today the 95th brought from Ryazan, and tomorrow - out of the con: Is it possible to mix them? The answer is positive: yes, we mix them!
And it seems to me that this is not quite right. Because different plants can use different technologies. And what kind of cocktail it turns out when mixing, it is difficult to say.
All you need to know about automotive gasoline
What gasoline should be poured? The formal answer sounds simple: only the one that recommended the plant that made your car. Its type is always indicated in the bookcase applied to the car. Experiments are not needed here: because each motor is calibrated under a certain grade of gasoline. And microprocessors and other electronic things are far from omnipotent: they, for example, will not be able to force the engine, designed for 95th gasoline, to work normally on the low-octane 80th.
By the way, how are adding added? The one that turns ordinary gasoline in V-Poo? Eldly add: the one that turns Ryazan or Yaroslavl gasoline to Shellosky ...
Options are two. In the first case, this happens right on the tank farm: additive is added to the appropriate fuel truck compartment. The second option is more fun: it does ... the driver! On his fuel truck there is a tank with an additive. Suppose it was sent for a couple of weeks to carry gasoline from some kind of refinery and sell it as a V-Power without arrival at the oilfield. In this case, it fills its tanks and serves the add additive command from the console. Shello gasoline is ready.
But why then Sollovsky gasoline is so expensive? I understand that the question is naive, but still. The answer sounds like this: this is a fee for the scrupulous observance of all production processes. Honestly, unconvincing: After all, Shell does not produce anything, but only resells! If, of course, do not consider the addition of the additive to one of the types of fuel sold. Payment for pure fuel trucks?
By the way, at our refueling you always pour extra fuel! - Report me. - On other gas stations, anything is possible, and we have a client in the first place, so for your money he gets a little more required.
Well, nice to hear.
I did not change my opinion about the shello refueling. Neither in the best, nor for the worse. I am convinced that on any refinery of a different brand would tell me about the same.
But in general, I would like absolutely all refueling of the country not worse than Shellovsky. At least, there is cozy and beautiful. And still understand where it is still on the gas stations, it also comes across poor-quality fuel.

Test gasoline AI 95 Kutuzovsky. Octis 2 VS Gazpromneft Lab
Today is an unusual test.
It turned out a long video in which you can see how precisely and what devices are the octane number of gasoline in the laboratory conditions.
Moreover, the equipment in the mobile laboratory is an order of magnitude more expensive than the equipment in the same Madi, where the bloggers have previously laid out a video about octis 2 reality testimony. We will check
Today we will be able to find out as far as Oktis's testimony is correct 2. Many said that octis tests 2 are suitable for fortune telling on the coffee grounds.
So compare that we will give the test of some and those sample samples of gasoline Ai 95 in laboratory conditions.
Immediately I must say that in the conditions of grooved autumn, the exact equipment installed in the mobile laboratory Gazpromneft gave several times the failures. We did not turn it on in the video, it became too long for the mass of the audience, but about it probably worth writing.
I want to thank the employees of Gazpromneft Marina and Julia for helping in testing 5 gasoline samples at once.
It should be noted that all the tests were blind, and the laboratory staff did not know that the gasoline was in bottles of the non-tests that were brought by us.
Test results can be found at the end of the video.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Earlier, I posted a video with a test of gasoline, which received a large number of reviews and views. The quality of gasoline, its brand, is a price tag for gasoline on a gas station, and we all pay a full-fledged ruble for each liter of fuel.
What is poured by Vasily Alibabaevichi owners networks gas station In the tanks of millions of cars in Moscow AZS LUKOIL, TNK, BP, Rosneft, Gazpromneft, Oil Migra?
How is Igor Ivanovich Sechin? Is it too sled?
Using the example of my Troparevo-Nikulino, one of the best areas in Moscow, I will show that the leading gas stations are poured into the tank, and whether Vasily Alibabaevich is still on them?
We look at the gasoline test AI 95, on the example of Troparevo Nikulino
AI 95 is already 40 rubles per liter, while we are usually feeding the iron horse, on the "dear" and "high-quality" refueling, where coffee smells, and sell sausages. That is, we know where it is better to shit themselves, and what pours a man in a green uniform to the tank of the car.
Oh well.
Russia Leading oil miner in the world, while the price of gasoline is higher than in the United States, not to mention Saudi Arabia, other oil-producing countries. At the refueling, we were trying to ban the shooting, called the police and security service, the signal about checking the quality of gasoline in Troparevo-Nikulino instantly scattered over all areas of the area. Those who do not hide, will not have to test when there is a check.
The state actually self-made from the quality control of gasoline, while more than half of its prices are taxes that we pay every time, inserting a gun in the benzobac.
And most importantly, we all tolerate it.
