What is the difference between Shell 98 and PetroChina 98?
2 Answers
Shell 98 and PetroChina 98 differ in terms of quantity and service. The following are specific introductions to the differences between the two: 1. Service: Shell has a very good attitude. 2. Quantity: All fuel dispensers have measurement errors, but as long as they meet the national standard of ±2‰, they are qualified, and Shell gives a little more. Due to different management concepts and being a newcomer, especially in the early stage to quickly seize the market, they may even give more. Although Shell's oil products all come from domestic refineries, Shell will add unique additives after purchasing them, which are said to have the effect of removing carbon deposits and cleaning the engine.
As someone who commutes by car daily, I have some insights into gasoline. The main differences between Shell's 98 and PetroChina's 98 lie in the additives and brand background. Shell is an international brand, and its 98-octane fuel includes its proprietary V-Power additive, which is said to better clean the engine, reduce carbon deposits, make the car run quieter, and provide smoother power. PetroChina's 98-octane fuel is produced by a major Chinese company, with additives that more closely comply with national standards, and it's cheaper with more gas stations for convenience. I've used both—Shell's fuel seems to reduce engine vibration after a few thousand kilometers, while PetroChina's is more economical but may leave more residue in older cars. The difference isn't huge, but if you want to protect your engine, Shell is preferable; if you're looking to save money, go for PetroChina. Of course, both meet quality standards, so no need to worry about safety. For daily driving, just choose based on promotions—save where you can.
