Petrol - Does the brand make a difference?

[Topgun]

I have been using Shell for more than 2 years, mainly out of convenience and also the bonus point system they have.

 

Recently, I tried Mobil on my Alfa156... I THINK the car seems smoother and a tad quieter. But I have no way to verify or measure this...

 

My buttfeel is Shell is a bit more 'gruff', Caltex Techron Platinum is smoothest, Mobil and Esso is in-between

I remember the time when super leaded was less than a dollar a liter.

 

To tell u the truth I can remember when super was about a dollar a GALLON.

Shell gave better FC than Caltex for my 2 cars.

Friend, nice to see you here too! I think I'm quite numb but I seriously could not feel the difference between Mobil (current petrol), Shell, Caltex, SPC. Can't feel the difference between 95 and 98 RON too!

Seriously i cannot feel any differences too. So i pump the cheapest 95 i can get (of course after discount).

I'm using RON 92 petrol now since my car's min grade is 91.
