Re:Shell Nitrogen enriched gas???????? 2 Years, 4 Months ago  
I've run a fair amount of their gas and didn't notice a difference. My question is that since nitrogen boils at -320.44 °F. How the hell do you make a gas additive out of it? As far as the guy with the flaming bike, Ron White said it all when he said "You can't fix sutpid".

Re:Shell Nitrogen enriched gas???????? 2 Years, 4 Months ago  
Sounds like a marketing gimmick to me. People see nitrogen, perhaps think nitrus-oxide, and more power? Which is sad if that was the attempt, because the nitrogen is not the useful part of that molecule, the oxygen is. They'd simply be taking advantage of gullibility. However, 99.99999% of ad campaigns seem to do just that.

Call me stupid then, but I do notice a BIG difference when I use the Shell over other brands, especially Citgo. I get higher gas mileage, and better performance, and it's noticeable and even more noticeable when I haven't used it in a while, I need to throw some seafoam in there then, or I suppose you don't see any advantage to seafoam either?

My bike likes Shell gasoline. Not that it won't run on other brands, but it gets better mileage and runs smoother sipping on Shell gasoline. To me it really doesn't make much difference if that's because of the Nitrogen or not. If it works, I'll go with it.

"Nitrogen enriched" has been available here in Georgia for about a year now. As luck would have it,the first gas pump I come to on my way to town is a Shell pump. Been running it in my '00 R/S from day one. My motor seems to like it just fine.

I'll agree, I've noticed considerable improvements with shell and Sunoco over other companies, especially with their diesel.

Re:Shell Nitrogen enriched gas???????? 2 Years, 4 Months ago  
My bike definitely runs better and gets better mileage on Shell than any other brand....as long as there's no alcohol in it, that is. There are times I can't find non-alcohol gas, like when I'm on a trip, and it really sux a lot.
I feel for you guys that can find nothing but alcohol gas.
