Shell Oil Company Gives Me Gas

Shell is touting their new gasoline as being "nitrogen enriched". Supposedly, this new formula results in a cleaner burning engine.

Uh huh.

Now, your average car engine mixes roughly 15 parts of air with one part gasoline.

And air already consists of roughly 78 percent nitrogen.

so... just how much more nitrogen can Shell possibly stuff into that one part of gas to make any difference?

ah... not much.

Just thought you'd like to know.
