3. Why Premium Gas is a
better choice!
• Higher Octane
• More or Better Additives
• Better Performance
• What’s the Real Cost Breakdown
4. You’ve probably heard:
• Use wherever your
Owners manual
recommends
• Premium Gas isn’t worth
the money
• It’s probably just marketing
• New computer fuel
controls will correct for low
grade gas

5. What is Octane?
• A Number related to “When”
Gas will detonate under
pressure
• Chemicals are added to
“Delay” combustion
• Higher the Number can be
compressed more

6. Octane allows the engine to fully
compress the fuel BEFORE
ignition

7. The other half
of Premium
Gas Benefits
More and better detergent
additives to avoid carbon
build-up in the engine

8. Early Ignition
• That’s “Engine Knocking”
• Older cars, studies show
this happens at about the
6 year mark (not really
that old)
• Sooner if Octane is too
low
• Sooner if carbon builds-
up in the engine
9. So Premium Gas:
• Gives better fuel economy and performance
• Avoids damage in all engines but especially older
cars
• Keeps engines cleaner and more efficient
• Improves engine reliability
11. Real Cost of Premium
• Today’s numbers
• Difference $0.50/gallon
• Assume: 12,000/yr & 20mpg
• $300 per year

13. • Several factors affect Engine life
• Gas and Oil are two biggest inputs we have
• Routine oil changes are important, BUT
14. Mindset
• Studies show that
engines fed Premium
Gas are better cared
for through routine
maintenance
15. Use Premium Gas
• Better choice for efficiency, performance & MPG
• Longer Engine life - better for you and the
environment
• Using Premium Gas for 20 years cost less than
an average engine repair!
16. We count on our
Vehicles
Don’t let them down, Use Premium Gas
