Shell - No More 91 Gasohol?

[greatjob]

Hi,

I was about to fill up my tank with 91 Gasohol this morning when the gas station clerk told me that Shell had stopped selling 91 Gasohol nationwide.

I was not able to check other gas stations but they did remove the big 91-gasohol board and changed all stickers to 95 gasohol at that gas station.

Just wondering if the clerk is actually right or if it is just "mot laew" today.

Thanks for any info,

GJ

Seems that many of the Thais are under the false illusion that 95 is somehow better for their cars, or makes them run better, so they put that in even though the car manufacturer calls for 91. It was probably costing them more to produce it than they were making from it.

The shell near my work officially had removed all gasohol 91 and 95 and replaced their pumps with V-Power gasohol 95 which is like 34 baht now or about 3-4 baht more than regular gasohol 95.

Now the pump only has 3 kinds of fuel, biodiesel, v-power bio diesel, and v-power gasohol 95.

I don't really care that much. My car requires 95 octane so I don't have much of a choice. I spend 7000 baht per month on fuel and consider it a fixed cost. The difference per month between gasohol 95 and v-power gasohol is like 600-800 baht per month which is about the cost of about 1 dinner outside, foot massage for two, or less than a bottle of jack daniels per month. So if it doesn't screw up my car like what B5 bio diesel did to my D-Max I'm ok.
