Shell's Regular, Plus and Shell V-Power® premium-grade gasolines all meet the “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” standard.
Shell Regular and Plus gasolines, which meet the “TOP TIER” standard, also contain more than two times the amount of cleaning agents required by the EPA.
Cheveron has Techron in all grades of fuel.
People can argue the benefits of premium in a vehicle that requires regular but even the gas companies white papers don't support that idea.
It's something that allows them to make more money though.
