Additives / MarketingIf gas is gas, then let's talk additives. Do these "detergents" really clean the engine or is this just a marketing ploy? Do they affect performance at all? What's wrong with putting just plain ole' gas in the tank (I'm sure these additives are pretty recent and that older cars, say in the 30's or 40's, didn't have them)? The detergents do work, because the oil companies must prove their effectiveness to the US Attorney General's office, before a patent is granted. Therefore, NO it is not a marketing ploy. Gimme a break. There is no deleterious affect on performance, by the additives. What do you mean by "just plain ole' gas"? Incorrect - additives have been around for over twenty years. But they didn't exist sixty or sevety years ago. You know why? The EPA is not that old.PS - you mean ol' not ole' which is a Spanish term.
