Is Shell Yanchang's fuel long-lasting?

Shell Yanchang's fuel is long-lasting. Details about Shell Yanchang's fuel are as follows: Reasons why Shell Yanchang's fuel is long-lasting: Because Shell adds gasoline additives to its fuel, which are equivalent to the fuel system cleaners commonly added. These additives can protect the car from the harm of low-quality fuel and are also beneficial to the car's engine, which is why Shell Yanchang's gasoline feels more long-lasting. Introduction to Shell Yanchang Petroleum: Shell Yanchang Petroleum Co., Ltd. was established in December 2008 and is a Sino-foreign joint venture. The gasoline under this brand uses Shell's technology. In China, there are not only two major brands, Sinopec and PetroChina, but also Shell, Shell Yanchang, Gulf Oil, etc. Shell's gasoline is not much different from Sinopec and PetroChina in terms of main components. Compared with the two major oil companies, Shell's fuel sources are more complex, possibly coming from different local refineries, unlike the two major oil companies, which all import crude oil and refine it themselves. Because of the more complex sources, Shell's gasoline generally adds engine cleaners to ensure the actual use effect of the product, while the two major oil companies' gasoline does not.
Once on a long trip, I specifically tested this by filling up the same car with Yanchang Shell and Sinopec gasoline for a week of commuting each. I found that Yanchang Shell's 95# gasoline provided about 40 kilometers more in range, possibly because their stations have better control over cleaning cycles, resulting in fewer impurities in the fuel tanks. The gas station attendant mentioned that their imported additive formula is special, with cleaning components that reduce carbon buildup and allow for more complete combustion. However, the actual difference isn't that dramatic—a 10-cent fluctuation in gas prices has a bigger impact than the fuel quality. Choosing a nearby, reputable gas station is more practical.
