I used BP gas in my 993 for 7 years and never had a problem, but when I bought my C4S this year, the dealer told me not to use BP gas because it has too many additives.

Suggestion
But i did hear that it is good to use different gas from different plcases because teh different detergents and formulas helped clean different deposits.

Suggestion
There was a discussion on this subject a couple of years ago, and one suggestion involved changing gasoline suppliers every 2nd or 3rd filll up.....the rationale being the fact that different gasoline refiners use their own recipe or formula of additives, and changing brands helps counteract the effect of using the same additives over and over again...sort of a self cleaning philosophy.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I used BP gas in my 993 for 7 years and never had a problem, but when I bought my C4S this year, the dealer told me not to use BP gas because it has too many additives. This sounds unlikely to me.
Is this true??
That sounds dumb since I remember BP gas stations accept Mobil cards. It would seem they share gas tecnology, and Mobil is recomended for Porsche. Any way I use Shell.
Organic gas, that's a good one. A buddy of mine did get a tankful of BP with additives, though. 14 gallons of diesel fuel. The station blamed it on the delivery truck driver. The EPA was notified, the station was fined, car ran fine after all diesel was removed.
We've always used Shell gas in all our cars here. But i did hear that it is good to use different gas from different plcases because teh different detergents and formulas helped clean different deposits. Just my .02 cents.

There was a discussion on this subject a couple of years ago, and one suggestion involved changing gasoline suppliers every 2nd or 3rd filll up.....the rationale being the fact that different gasoline refiners use their own recipe or formula of additives, and changing brands helps counteract the effect of using the same additives over and over again...sort of a self cleaning philosophy. I have no idea whether it works or not, but I follow that practice.
Dont know about the States but here in Australia the various companies share their fuel depending on the state you are in. For instance in Melbourne Shell supplies the BP and Caltex Petrol Stations and in Northern Territory it is the reverse. This makes it hard to know whose fuel you are actually receiving.
Arthur, It's that way here too.
I saw a History Channel special on pipelines, that basically said that if company A puts X barels of gas at one end, they are entiteled to pick up X gallons at the other end almost instantly.
It's not the gas that is different, but the additives.
I heard the same thing from my Infiniti dealer .My J30 was hesitating. He said BP uses too many additives that cause carbon deposits to build up and rob power.Use Shell
My dealer told me not to use Arco because of additives. I've started mixing about 5 gallons of Sunoco GT into each tankful of Unocal or Chevron to get about 94 octane. BP is at our airport but haven't seen it for the street.
