What is BP Invigorate and What Makes It Different?

[colouredbleu]

I work at a BP and previously worked for an Exxon (for the same company) and they get gasoline delivered from Marathon Oil. Kroger gets the same gasoline delivered from Marathon (on the same route) and I have also seen the Marathon fuel truck at a Texaco and Shell station. I know BP has Invigorate and Shell has Techron?? They all have something different it seems...with the exception of ethanol which they all have.

Anyway, since they are delivered on the same route by the same person and company how can all these gasolines really have that "special" ingredient? Are they saying Kroger gasoline has Invigorate and/or Techron? I am asking because I just don't understand the claims the gasoline companies make in regards to this matter.

The addition is just a detergent - to clean oil residue from the engine.
The fuel company adds them to the tanker.

The energy content of the fuel is the same - and is very carefully regulated.

BP Invigorate is a fuel additive that is claimed to clean and protect the engine, improve fuel economy, and reduce emissions. It is added to all grades of BP gasoline, including regular, mid-grade, and premium.

What sets BP Invigorate apart from other fuel additives, such as Shell's Techron, is the specific blend of ingredients and the concentration used. BP Invigorate contains a combination of detergents, corrosion inhibitors, and antioxidants that work together to clean and protect the engine.

While it may seem like all gasoline comes from the same source, the additives and concentrations used by different companies can vary. This is why different fuel companies may make different claims about the benefits of their gasoline.

It is also important to note that while Kroger gasoline may be delivered by the same company as BP, it is possible that they use different additives or concentrations. This is why it is important for each company to do their own research and testing to determine the effectiveness of their fuel additives.

In conclusion, BP Invigorate is a unique blend of additives that is added to all grades of BP gasoline. While other companies may have their own fuel additives, the specific blend and concentration used by BP sets it apart from the rest. It is up to each company to determine the most effective blend for their fuel.
