I had no idea that there was such a change in mpg for our g's. My 2010 G37 sedan got 31mpg doing a 230 mile road trip. I was so happy that I took a pic on my cell lol.

Interesting. I usually get better driveability with V Power, but lower mileage - maybe 1 MPG less than when I use other brands.

So when you see these BS commercials about Techron ,or any other additive for that matter it's all a flame job you don't know who actually refined the oil to make fuel for your car. Don't fall for my gas is better than your gas BS.

The base gasoline is the same, but the additives are mixed by the tankload when they fill up at the terminal.

I have noticed that some Shell stations have a nozzle for each grade while others have only one. I am going to run myself down quite low one day just to see if the dedicated fuel hose has and efficiency impact.
