Hi friends,
Speaking about Shell V95...
In France, we have the choice of: 95 and 98 normal gasoline, E20 and now I think E85 (right camarade Azoulay?). So some years ago, back there before settling in CNX, I used to run all my classic bikes and cars with Benzine 98 and all worked nice, I never had any problem with this...
Here in LOS, most of the bikers/drivers use the 91 gasoline, as I do. The 95 seems not to have a good reputation...
Is the Octane Researched Rating is the same in the west and "here"? Are the gas "specs" the same?..
I remember even in low compression engines (about 8 to 9) as in my Citroën 2 CV, Classic Beetle or VW Bus, BMW R90, the 98 worked well. And all my friends with classic bikes and cars did it... We NEVER used the 95...
In the '60s/'70s, the Beetle or Bus and the 2 CV can ran on 89 gas...
Here, with my classic Beetle, I use the 91 "tamada" and the car runs great... as I use it in my Yamaha FZ6 (compression ratio: 12.2)!
Someone can enlighten me about that please...
And:
Is Shell V 95 a new kind of gas (spreaded Octane Rating, special specs...)? Are "all" types of gas engine allowed to run with the V 95?.. What are the benefits of this Shell gas?..
Thanks,
Gobs
