Caseys and walmart gas destroys fuel pumps. Take what scotty says about gas with a grain of salt because he's not to bright on this subject
Whats your dajly driver scotty. We don't get the toyota matrix in Scotland.
You KNOW Scottys Right.
Top Tier gas is a must for me. Yes, the gas is refined to the basic standard but then the specific detergent packages are added and Top Tier has been tested and proven to clean better and have more cleaning ability. I get the best of both worlds by filling up at Costco. I get the best price and a Top Tier gasoline.
Yup Costco's good I only use Chevron. Top tier means they pay more and take from the top. So technically he's wrong.
Me Too Kid 10 mins away and Nice People Too. Everyone Watching at ALL Hours..🤑🤑🤑🤑
Scotty’s our uncle, and we are so proud of him! 🙏
i' Like His PoLicyS Lol
I drove tanker truck for 37 years and can say with confidence that Scotty is spot on about the quality of gas. Buy it from the major companies not from the off brand convenience stores or stations.
So no to Kroger and Sam's?
@@alicia_nicole I wouldn't, your much more likely to get low quality fuel with moisture in it. Stick with the major brands. More expensive but , moisture or low quality fuel can cause some major very expensive problems in your engine.
Gee thanks! Been getting gas from Sam’s for several years. Now, I’ll be more paranoid stopping at Sam’s. But, then again, they should have the money to pay for damages😢
Yes sir .
@@roberthunter1220 Sam's or Costco won't buy crap fuel. You can buy fuel there with confidence.

@@user-kh3yr4tf8f LOL 😂
I found my secret! 🤫 🤐
Regarding the 500-foot-long cable: back in the mid 1970's I worked summers for Sears as an A/C tech. I was shown that if you kept the power cord to a heavy unit like a vacuum pump coiled up, the cord would create an electromagnetic flux and it would really heat up. We were told to uncoil them. Imagine how hot a couple of hundred feet of heavy-duty D. C. wire might get if the user only needs half the cord's length, and leaves the rest coiled up. Fire? Warning: this is the way I remember it from 50 years ago. --Old Guy
With gasoline/gas station I heard one great rule - if plenty of cars go there it's safe to go too. At the very least it's not sitting in tanks and degrading and it wouldn't be a bad station with so many people there :)

As usual, Scotty and his unbiased knowledge amazes me. He is spot on.
Scotty Kilmer always keeping us well inform and updated
Yes, that's right, the gas all comes from the same refinery anyway, you showed a Shell station in the intro, I usually buy at Costco because it averages 5c/litre less than the others, try to buy Shell when I'm traveling only because I earn loyalty points there. Way back when I drove a '69 AMX 390, I used to go to Chevron because they were the last to offer 'good ole premium' leaded gas...
Shell bad ???
Shell bad, Costco 5 cents less, Shell good, I get Air Miles. It all depends on where I am when I need to buy fuel.@@indotube8125
Not true here in Colorado our gas comes from several different sources frontier in chyene Wyoming suncor in Denver Valero texas also a major refinery in Kansas there are 7 places that I can remember to load fuel along the front range of Colorado. Scotty likes to simplify things too much
@indotube8125
Not at all.
A mechanic told me, Shell is the best gas.
I also find I get the best MPG using Shell.
Excellent video, Scotty!
Good stuff Scotty!
All the big companies have joined Top Tier. Sunoco was the holdout, but they have upped their quality too. Truck stops, convenience stores, and Walmart still sell minimum spec fuels. Just search online and you will see that Top Tier makes a big difference over time if you keep you cars as long as I do.. Here's a story. My 2005 Ford Explorer had the gas gauge crap out. Pulling the tank and replacing the sending unit is costly. I read on a blog that Top Tier gas would fix it. I began fueling with Chevron only, and within two tanks the gauge worked again. Fast forward a few years. My bride is traveling up and down I-95 caring for patients as an in home RN. She's filling the Ford up a the truck stops. Guess what? The fuel gauge stops working. Back to Chevron and the problem is solved after a couple of tankfulls. Fast forward a few more years. I'm traveling back from New England to Florida and stop at a Buc-ees for lunch and a my last fill up on my way home... Well, they don't sell Top Tier. Before that tankful was burned by fuel gauge stopped working again. I stopped at Costco (Top Tier) to fill up, and by the time I burned that tankful the fuel gauge is working again.I have no explanation as to why minimum spec fuel seizes my fuel gauge, and why Top Tier keeps fixing it gauge other than my experience above. Plus, it keeps your fuel injectors much cleaner. Just search online and you'll find photos and technical results from testing Top Tier against American minimum spec fuels. I will never put anything but Top Tier in my cars again. Heck, it's the same price anyway.
I use only BuckE premium gas in my Lexus GS 450H (required by Toyota/Lexus, works great with 3mpg better fuel economy.
I'm wearing the wrong foot attire.@@flouisbailey
@@williamgunn1076
You mean socks 😂
True, and when I use Shell I get better MPG. Chevron is more common and good too. I was told Mobil is good, but don't see that, and when I do I also see Shell.
Scotty, you’re right about the grades of gasoline. The difference with top-tier gas is detergent additives which helps keep your injector and cat clean. I know this for a fact had a 2011 Nissan rogue with a PO 420 code added a container of gum out multi fuel, injector, cleanand it didn’t clear the code so I decided to try a tank of the top-tier gas and container multi fuel injector cleaner. Believe it or not this cleared the code and it hasn’t come back since I changed to top tier gas.
Scotty I had a 1992 Toyota Camry and the air bag light came on in 2011. I just ignored it and wasn't going to pay the money to fix it. Well my daughter totalled the car later in 2012 and the airbag deployed perfectly. So like you say who knows.
man look up what a faulty air bag can do it's nuts
Yes I am well aware but back then they made cars so much better. That Camry was solid as a rock and the Japanese made a great product. That car although mangled beyond recognition did what it was supposed to and that was to protect the driver at all cost. Matter of fact they still make a great product. After that car I bought a Tundra and now I am driving a Tacoma. I would only buy Toyota made vehicles and I never heard of a recall for the air bag for Toyota . At least they never notified me with all the Toyotas that I own.
@@alantobin8762
I had a recall on my airbags
several years ago.
I can't fault Toyota, there's so many parts from subcontractors, it happens.
Still great cars.
what a shame another camry totaled by a clueless kid
Love ya Scotty but you're wrong about Top Tier. It does matter and it's real. Top Tier is a well tested (independently) and well proven additive package. That's not to say a good company like BP that's NOT Top Tier isn't great gasoline as well but you are getting better protection for your GDI engine with Top Tier and that is a proven fact.
You are so entertaining Scotty. Better than Seinfeld. Keep up the good fight!- Mike from Ottawa
Bernie's engine cleaner really work for me
Every video that Scotty mentions Bernie's cleaner I feel like I have to comment
Recently purchased a 2003 Highlander
Car in Immaculate condition except when sitting for a couple of days on cold start would get a ticking in the engine for about 30 seconds on Startup
Did a few things like changing the oil to high quality appropriate synthetic
Replace the timing belt in all Associated parts
Yeah the cold start engine noise persistent
I then treated the car with Bernie's engine cleaner following Bernie and Scotty's suggested procedure
Now on cold start even after a week of sitting completely quiet
Could not be happier!!
I also closely monitor my car and there have been no leaks or oil burning issues
Because some people had warned me that the old style motor flushes could cause that type of problem
I was willing to try Bernie's cleaner because Scotty recommended it
And now I recommend it also
For me it worked as advertised
If there was not internet, one would have to travel, ascent the mountain and submit a single question to the Llama, Scotty!
All gasoline sold in the US must meet a minimum standard for detergent. That standard is pretty low. Top Tier requirements are significantly higher. The Conoco station near me is Top Tier and very competitive on price. I don't use off brand "Gas Sale" or "East Coast" gas. I've purchased ethanol free gas for my lawn mower and snow thrower when convenient because the ethanol absorbs water over time and I don't mind paying more for the small quantity.
you must live in a red state. in crappy blue states you cant find ethanol free. ethanol destroys the internals slowly, which is what they want
I can truly say Scott is a Master Mechanic that graduated to Science Guy😊.
I had an 06 civic and had the exact same thing with the dust cover scraping
There's no one better than you, at what you do
Um, "heating of wires" is only dependent on current and resistance of the wire (I^2*R), regardless if it's DC or AC. Transmission over longer distance is easier with AC, since you can use transformers to increase/decrease the voltage and decrease the current (thus reducing I^2*R losses). With DC it's much more difficult to change voltage. And DC is susceptible to electromigration, where if the current is high enough, atoms can be dislodged and carried with the current. So in a worst case, one end of the wire will become too small and fail. I agree, "liquid cooling" of wires sounds like a really bad, expensive idea.
I too hold a sparky ticket ;)
yeah that triggered me some too LOL
"That's not how this works... that's not how any of this works." LOL
but I give him a pass though because, well, he's Scotty 😎
Check the clockspring for airbag light... they can also cause faults in the cruise control functions or any other steering wheel controls due the the rotating ribbon cable wearing out over time.
"Sucking rear ends their whole life" 😂😂
5:00 question explained perfectly
Scotty is wrong this time. From AAA's report after they conducted independent tests of Top Tier vs Non-Top Tier gasolines:
"Among brands tested, non-TOP TIER gasolines caused 19 times more engine deposits than TOP TIER brands after just 4,000 miles of simulated driving. Such carbon deposits can reduce fuel economy, increase emissions and negatively impact vehicle performance, particularly on newer vehicles.
Since TOP TIER gasoline is widely available, provides fuel economy and vehicle performance benefits and costs an average of just three cents more per gallon, AAA urges drivers to consider the gasoline when it’s time to fuel up."
Scotty said exactly what the article stated. Everyone gets the same gas distributed, however small unknown stations do not maintain their systems and the gas gets water or dirt mixed in harming the vehicle, as Scotty explained!!!
I’ve had to rent a few different vehicles for doing rideshare over the last couple of years.
2015 Nissan Versa (85k miles)
2013 Hyundai Sonata (120k miles)
2013 Toyota Prius C (195k miles)
2022 Toyota Prius (50k miles)
The first three were all sluggish and would act strange like they wanted to stall out after coming to a quick stop. Until I ran a few tanks of Top Tier 87 octane gasoline through them.
Cheap gas today is crap. I recall getting gas at a particular Wawa in Baltimore that would cause my Honda Odyssey to throw codes, but if I went down the street to the Royal Farms, the van never complained.
my Honda dislikes Kroger and Sam's gas (loss of power, sometimes wants to stall when coming to complete stop esp in summer with AC on). It's just fine on QT and Phillips
Anything you buy in Baltimore should be suspect.
You're exactly correct about additional additives. Have a friend who owns a distribution fuel transmission, and I watch as named brand fuel tankers came in to fill-up. The driver poured an additive into top of tanker once loaded assumed the sloshing around done the mixing prior to delivery; so to believe different read at and gasoline station having you thinking is something special usually is hog wash. Never once saw a non brand named tanker like Triangle or Purity dump anything in their tanker once loaded; so is non brand fuel better, you be the judge as ones usually get what they paid for. As for toyota corolla, I just recently went from Alabama to Miami, and got 34.8 mpg running 75+ in an 04 Toyota. If go to South Florida two things are a must, buy a Sun Pass transponder for Express/tolls. And haul butt because unless like getting finger gestures don't pay any mind to 70 mph speed limits as those folks pass troopers down there running around 90 mph. Seems everyone chose Miami that date, and was like Daytona without the curves.
Almost forgot for toyota owners; it's my belief toyota purposely sets a CEL to activate after 200,000 miles just to get ones to drive-in to Toyota Dealership to get reset when "nothing is wrong" with tge car, just an extra $100 plus Toyota going get from your wallet. Forget the CEL if not flashing. My expensive scanner and friend's scanners show no codes, do the battery reset, changes nothing CEL will return, just drive and forget if not flashing. I have for 257,890 miles runs great. Don't allow Toyota take your grocery money.😮
Way ahead of you Scotty, I've been avoiding them for over 50 years...
Those Saturn models you've shown look exactly like 2007-2015 Vauxhall Astra models. The same exact body
03 to 06 lincoln ls like to eat the 2nd shift solenoid, very high on the list of suspects to cause that error.

Scotty, on the airbag OBD1 thing. Can he cross pins 4 and 5 to shut the light off. That seems to work on the OBD2.
I work in the automotive industry and all of the robots that put spot welds on cars have liquid cooled power cables, the ones i work with are 25 years old and still work just fine

When I had my truck put on a dyno, the guy running the dyno could tell I had 93 octane from Sam’s Club and not somewhere else (ex. Quick Trip, Exxon) I’ve found that the best gas milage I’ve got has been Exxon gas, unfortunately there are no Exxon stations where I live.
He could probably tell by the smell. Back in the day when I was a gas jockey, I could tell one brand of gas from another by the smell. Thankfully, not anymore. In fact, when I put gas in my car now, as soon as it starts pumping, I take several steps back away from it. I had one pump in N. Dakota not shut off when the tank was full, and gas blew out at an alarming rate for a few seconds! Best not to be standing there if that happens.
I only use Chevron or Shell exclusively.
My X husband told me never gas up at Circle K. That was about 40 years ago. I think I gassed up there about 3 times due to the fact that there was no other gas station near by. I use Chevron gas. Middle grade. Works good for me.😊
Sorry you are wrong, AC cable do heat up. 35 years as a power grid operator
Scotty what's the recommendation from you for replacement of our 2009 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 pick up?
We have a lot of Wawa conveniece stores that sell garbage gas that I got the worst mileage on. Purchased their gas in Pa., NJ & MD and seldom drive when traffic is heavy, use cruise control whoever possible and perform slow start at red lights. Now only purchase top tier gasoline. The few pennies extra more then made up with better fuel economy. Just had the original brake pads replaced on the front end of my SUV with 49.7K miles.
On the noise turning the wheel all the way also there is the inner fender cover. It gets loose and rubs in the tire.
I've had cars that run better on a particular fuel brand versus another. I've had some brands get better mileage than others so they aren't all the same.
ZMAX..ENGINE FORMULA AND FUEL FORMULA ALSO TRANSMISSION FORMULA..I GOT A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX 300 000KM..SLUGISH WHEN I FIRTS GOT IT..RAN ZMAX 1000KM..DROPED FLUIDS..ADDED MORE ZMAX..ENGINE TRANSMISSION RUN LIKE NEW...I USE ZMAX IN EVERY VEHICLE WE GET..STUFF WORKS GREAT ON OLD TIRED VEHICLES.
If you are going to store a mosern car for 3-6 months, fill it up with non-ethanol gas, the dump Sta-bil and Sea Foam in it. Plug the battery into a trickle charger, lift the tires off of the ground...
Scotty, what about usibg Sta-Bil fuel stabilizer when an engine sits for a period of time? I have used it successfully for many years. Your thoughts?
I have been buying gas at a Buc-ee's gas station here in nearby Daytona Beach, Florida for the past couple of years. It usually has the best price on the area, but I am not sure if Buc-ee's is considered "Top Tier." I have had no issues using their gas, so I continue to use it. The place is huge with 104 gas pumps, and their convenience store is over 50,000 square feet.
Buc-ee's has many gas stations in Texas, and I was wondering if anyone has used their gas, and had any problems with it.
mr scotty have you done any videos on pens oil i think is the brand? you can send your oil to them after using the product?

The reason AC can go farther isn't because it goes back and forth, it's because historically AC has been easy to transform to higher voltage and back. At higher voltage it takes less current to carry the same power which means less losses in the wire. Nowadays there are devices that can do the same with DC. Or cars can just be designed to accept higher voltages for charging. There is a limit to this for cables on the ground, cause you can't be handling cables above a certain voltage, even when insulated (insulation breaks down at a high enough voltage), but this limit applies to AC too. So basically AC won't fix anything for charging cables. It really only helps for long distance transmission lines, like those on high power poles or buried underground, and even for those sometimes DC high voltage is used nowadays.
Well, I just figured that it's wise to avoid gas stations that could have old rusty tanks.
Since getting my car in summer of '19, i've only used Shell 87 octane, only because of the tmobile weekly discount and being the closest to the house, haha. But no issues to date.
I had a 2002 Saturn Vue with the 5 spd, that ran like a champ, everyone I knew with the auto had thiers fail.
87 octane is bad...high emision gas
Using premium for cars that don't require it is lighting money on fire.
Hello Scotty. I have a grinding sound in my four wheel drive 1998 Chevy Blazer. The truck runs great and is extremely reliable. But don't seem to get rid of the grinding. It's really aggravating and loud. Could it be the CV axle?
Top Tier gas is sold at costco. We swear by it. Because the station is shipped the special additives and they are added on site when the truck delivers the gas. Scotties rant is fueled by way too much whiskey.
🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
Yeah but he was mainly saying don't get gas from some shady small little gas station because they might not do proper maintenance on their gas tanks that are buried underground.

Is there a separate relay or fuse?
Hard to believe both lamps went out at the same time.
Is grocery store gas equivalent to Maverik, such as Raley's or Costco?
I always use Maverik but the stores are cheaper.
Maybe this is true, but I try to always use Shell gas. Maybe is the additives, but I and several other people I know say Shell Gas in our area is the best!
If people only saw how gas is distributed, I lived where a large depot was the raw gas was delivered by a pipeline to large storage tanks then the local tanker hauling for any brand ( contract ) would pull to a load station tell them what gas brand to mix up the raw gas is then mixed with what additives were required from bulk tanks and voilà there’s your gas . When the large storage tanks get low they sell to off brands because there may be sediments or the quality is low but if supply problems everybody get it .
That Saturn looks like an Astra. Maybe parts from the UK?
I have a great deal of respect for your opinion, Scotty, but this one I'll have to disagree.
A few years back, when I first heard of top-tier gasoline, I found some selling top tier. I ran to almost empty (from a well-known outlet), then filled with the same grade gasoline, from Shell, and other top tier outlets (some brand name gasoline, some top tier outlets). From the gas I had been buying (I averaged 46 mph on a motorcycle). When I filled at Shell regular, I got 49mph. Subsequent fill ups at other top tier outlets, brought 49 - 50.9 mph. Tests with my Pontiac Montana yielded similar results, from 16-17mph to 19 mph even over 20 occasionallywith the top tier gasoline!
Scotty, top tier gas is better, and it is worth it!
I bought no name gas in Miami and then parked my car for two weeks. Idle is rough as hell now. No check engine light. Three days later is smoothing out. Can't help but wonder if it was bad gas.
My 2001 Toyota Solora Blew out #6 spark plug blew out taking all of the threads with. I repaired it myself with a Stanley repair kit. I have driven it over 6,000 miles. Why did it happen, and would you trust the car for a long trip?
Hey the Saturn astra is a mass produced car in Europe !! So there’s endless parts, and I assume this used a motor from gm that was used on many cars !!

Shell in ontario premium gas has no ethanol in it
how about Sams Club Gas station? not Top Tier, is it good?
My wife’s 2009 Kia Sedona has been fed nothing but Costco gas and occasionally Sunoco. It has ~88k miles on with hardly any major work done it. Just the oil and filter changes and taking it in for recalls. Recently the check engine light came on and it was diagnosed with a knock sensor condition. Is it worth spending upwards of $800 to fix it? Is the car still safe to drive with this condition? Otherwise the car still runs great.
At the same current, there is no difference in cable losses between AC and DC (actually AC will have ever so slightly more losses due to skin effect, but it is really minimal at 50-60 Hz). For the same amount of power, higher voltages require lower currents, so the highest voltage on a given cable will result in the lowest losses. AC level 2 chargers typically use 208-240 volts and DC charging is more typically 325-350 volts so DC would have the advantage there. Liquid cooled cables have been around for quite a while, they use an antifreeze mix which is very similar to that used in cars. Liquid cooling allows the cable to be thinner for its power carrying capability. they are pretty robust, I have seen them run over without harm although if it were mine I wouldn't do that since they are not cheap and cannot be spliced. Besides cost, the power limit on a residential DC fast charger is due to your electric service. If you had a dedicated 200 amp, 240 volt service for just the charger, NEC (electrical code) says you can go up to 80% of that which is just over 38 kW. That's not bad but nowhere near the 150, 250 or 350 kW charging from commercial DC fast chargers which typically use 480 volt 3 phase power connections.
I only go to new gas stations. Old tanks leak and get trash in them.

I only use shell fuels in personal vehicle because 50 cents off a gallon from points on credit card from my trucking biz. He would go off on me if he knew I used 2 stroke oil in my diesel to lubricate fuel pump ejection pump and enjectors. 1.2 million on those components
Last time I filled up gas at Walmart (Murphy USA) I ended up getting water and ethanol instead. Completely destroyed my engine. Never again
I'm subcontracted to sample gas from different gas stations and I have to fill up these little glass vials with premium and regular and send them into the company for them to study and make sure it's not being messed with and they pay pretty good 😅😅 the worst gas is on them islands and near the beach that moisture gets in there and you can literally see it up close
Very profound. Who knew gas and water don't mix and being near a lot of moisture means some of it will end up in gasoline tanks.
@@matthewronson5218 maybe alot of people are aware but most of them haven't seen the differences up close. I have sampled over 5000 gas tanks so I know how significant the differences are and it's way more than I expected which is why I mentioned it at all. Also the video said something about moisture so I figured I would say something about it from what I know
Does the company you work for hire often?@@businessbuilder92
How close to the beach should you avoid?
@@thomashardy1851 my areas where I work are gas stations on the east coast so I can't speak for everywhere but I will give you an example in South Carolina there is Myrtle Beach but there is also Hilton Head island near by. The places about 15-30 mins outside of myrtle really wasn't too affected but once you drive past the bridge and onto the actual Hilton head island literally every single gas station is affected fairly drastically I would say. Def try to get full on your gas before reaching those types of environments
There’s two different Scottys.
The Scotty in the house and the Scotty in the driveway.
Where do they put the additives in? Because I drive the truck from the refinery To the gas station. Maybe they sneaked in at night.😅😅
There is plenty of evidence that shows Top Tier gas keeps the engines much clearer. Much more important with all the Direct Injection engines.
