Comments by "flagmichael" (@flagmichael) on "Premium gas vs. Regular Whats really better for your car?" video.
Before the US EPA released specifications for detergency in gasoline (1996, IIRC) there was a big difference in detergency between regular and premium gas. I think it was Shell that showed commercials on TV where they lit the exhaust of a car running regular gasoline with a torch, and then showed the exhaust didn't burn when Shell - or whichever - premium was used. I think that era was where the legend of premium gas started. Thank you a thousand times for championing top tier gas! There are probably some cars that do okay with EPA standard gasoline, at least for the life of a cheap car, and almost any car can tolerate a bit of random gasoline once in a while when there are no good choices available. We can eat at fast food restaurants once in a while, too, but we have to make good food and top tier gas the mainstays in our lives.
