Which gas stations have the best quality 95 gasoline. Clogged filters, candles went out

Comfort is one of the main requirements put forward by motorists. Behind comfortable ride meets many parameters, not least of which is the quality of the fuel. Modern market oil and gas products has hundreds of offers from various suppliers. However, it is this factor that makes it difficult to decide on the most optimal choice. This paper describes the criteria for self-determination at which gas station best gasoline.

There are frequent cases when, when changing the grade or brand of fuel, the driver encounters behavior unusual for his car: the engine starts and stalls for a long time, tapping is heard while driving, and the car itself moves in jerks, as if the fuel gauge needle was approaching zero. If before such problems did not bother, but made themselves felt along with the change of the oil product, this may indicate both the low quality of the latter and its inconsistency with the passport of a particular vehicle. Below is the relationship between fuel characteristics and their direct impact on engine performance.

Octane number is a comparative indicator that determines the degree of resistance of a particular grade of commercial gasoline to detonation. In this case, detonation should be understood as self-ignition of fuel as a result of a thermal explosion during compression. fuel mixture. Such a process is typical when the octane number, and hence the detonation resistance, are low. In this case, the following signs are noted:

• power drawdowns;
• sharp sound;
• increased opacity of exhaust;
• rapid combustion of fuel.

When the use of low-octane fuel that does not meet the requirements of a car is systemic, it is possible local destruction of the engine. In particular, they can burn out exhaust valves as the mixture detonates before they can close. This process can be recognized by the characteristic metallic sound. In addition, pistons and cylinder head gaskets may be damaged.

Advice! If in doubt about which gasoline to fill up, you should look at inner part fuel tank doors - often the information is duplicated there.

The use of high-octane gasoline allows you to achieve an increase in engine power in the usual mode of operation. However, not all vehicles“sharpened” for this type of fuel. When refueling a car with high-octane gasoline, the engine of which is designed to use fuel with a low octane number, a kind of reconfiguration of the fuel system occurs. Fuel combustion occurs with a "delay", which ultimately leads to a significant decrease in the power characteristics of the motor, instead of the expected improvement. It also threatens wear and tear piston-cylinder group due to the increase in temperature.

When the indicator of the amount of actual resins goes beyond the norm, they settle on the elements of the combustion chamber. Over time, the nozzles become clogged, and soot forms on the candles. Among other things, this can lead to the so-called pre-ignition, which starts an uncontrolled combustion process. Due to pre-ignition, the pressure and temperature in the cylinders rise. Because of this, ignition occurs earlier with each cycle, until one of the parts fails.

The glow ignition is accompanied by a dull tapping sound. However, even an experienced driver cannot always distinguish it by ear. Therefore, you should carefully monitor the power: at high speeds, there are drawdowns in power up to 15%. This can be seen when throttle valve fully open.

Due to the increased sulfur content in gasoline, oxides are formed during combustion - compounds of minerals with oxygen, which, under the influence of high temperatures can cause corrosion, and when interacting with moisture, form sulfuric acid, which further enhances corrosion. This leads to wear of the exhaust system, as well as lead-bronze bearings, up to their destruction.

Acidity

Another factor leading to the development of corrosive activity, is hyperacidity. Because of this, the tendency of gasoline to form deposits in the combustion chamber and the fuel system as a whole increases. According to GOST, the acidity index for different brands gasoline is:

• AI-91: 3.0 mg KOH;
• AI-93: 0.8 mg KOH;
• AI-95: 2.0 mg KOH.

The specified norms correspond to 100 ml of gasoline. It's interesting that during storage of fuel, its acidity increases, but still rarely reaches critical values.

Advice! There is a direct relationship between the tar content of gasoline and its acid number - the more resins, the higher the acidity. In this case, the octane number decreases. This must be taken into account when choosing fuel.

Methods for determining quality fuel

If the driver has doubts about the quality of gasoline, there are two options for checking it: in the laboratory and at home. In the first case, an official document is issued containing all the verification data, as well as a general conclusion. If the examination reveals that fuel indicators do not meet the standard, this may be a reason to go to court at the gas station where the sample was purchased. In this case, all costs are borne by the oil refinery.

If the results are within allowable rate, then there is no question of compensation and the client will have to pay for the services of the laboratory himself, and this is not always cheap. Therefore, the following are the basic methods for self check gasoline.

Method #1: Color Check

The practice of coloring gasoline was still in effect in the Soviet Union, when a red pigment was added to fuel containing the poisonous additive tetraethyl lead. Such labeling was necessary to visually highlight more toxic fuels. On this moment in Russia, according to GOST, unleaded gasoline must be transparent. However, some companies, in particular Lukoil, tint gasoline grades in different colour so that they can be visually distinguished. So, in 2001, at Lukoil gas stations, it was possible to purchase a red A-80 and a bluish A-92. However, due to the increase in the number of fakes that gave out the color of gasoline as its brand name, the management decided to curtail the campaign.

Interesting! The Ukrainian oil refinery WOG still produces colored fuel. So, the Mustang brand has a green tint, which is its hallmark.

In connection with the foregoing, it is better to refuel at those gas stations where uncolored gasoline is sold without turbidity and sediment. At the same time, it is worth noting that quality fuel may have a pale yellow tint, but by no means saturated tones.

Method #2: Test for dilution with water

There is another way to determine quality by color. However, this time you will have to "conjure". For the experiment, you will need a transparent container and the usual undiluted potassium permanganate. If, upon contact with gasoline, it begins to manifest pinkish tint, this directly indicates the water content in the fuel. At the same time, it is important to remember the ratio of reagents: if you add too much manganese, then even gasoline can turn pink. Therefore, it is recommended to calculate the proportions based on the ratio of gasoline and reagent 20:1.

Method #3: Checking for Resins and Oils

Establishing the presence of oil in the fuel is simple: just blot the paper in the test specimen and let it dry. If, after drying, a greasy trace remains on it, then oil is present in the composition. Some experimenters apply a drop of the sample to the skin, however this way categorically not recommended, because in addition to degreasing, you can earn dermatitis and even eczema.

As for sulfur, it is better to check its content in gasoline at outdoors away from flammable objects. To conduct an experiment, you need to stock up on a glass slide. You should put a little on it fuel fluid and set fire. If the gasoline is of good quality, then the glass surface will leave a white mark. But tarry gasoline is characterized by stains from yellowish to rich brown shades.

TOP 10 gas stations by gasoline quality

Car owners are constantly busy with the question of which gas station is better for gasoline. Most drivers have already determined their favorites by experience. And for those who are still looking for a reference fuel, the following rating of gas stations is offered in terms of the quality of services provided. The following indicators were used for comparison:

• quality of petroleum products and compliance specifications or GOST;
• service;
• price;
• availability of additional services;
• client programs and promotions.

In order to test filling stations and determine the most profitable among them, we took as a basis weighted average prices for AI-95 fuel in Moscow and regions(for gas station chains not represented in Moscow and the region). AI-98 gasoline participated in the check for compliance with the actual octane number.

Based on the data presented, the reader is encouraged to determine for himself the best gas station network based on personal priorities. It should be noted that all applicants who took part in the formation of the rating, the quality of gasoline meets modern standards.

Brands such as Rosneft, Lukoil and Shell deserve special attention, since so far they are the only ones working to improve the quality of fuel and the final transition to the Euro-6 standard. However, for those who do not know who to give preference to - Rosneft or Lukoil, or, perhaps, it is difficult to decide between Shell or Lukoil - there is only one piece of advice: pay attention to the octane number.

Important! If the octane number is significantly higher than the norm, this may indicate the presence of harmful additives for its artificial increase, which in the future will negatively affect the operation of the engine.

Interestingly, the most transparent gasoline is found at Rosneft and Shell filling stations, while the most “bright” (dark yellow) - to Lukoil. Nevertheless, according to surveys, this particular brand is preferred by more than 40% of car owners in Russia.

Reasons for the appearance of low-quality fuel at gas stations

First of all, it should be remembered that there are companies that independently extract raw materials (Gazpromneft and Rosneft), and there are those that buy it from them. There is also such a thing as "subsidiaries", operating under the license of a holding company. The latter include, for example, TNK, BP and Bashneft owned by Rosneft. Therefore, it is not surprising that under nominally different brands you can buy fuel of the same quality. It can differ only in brand name and cost. Sometimes - additives.

As for multinational companies operating in the Russian Federation, one should not hope that Shell or British Petroleum will be the same as in Europe or America. Least, raw materials for fuel of these brands are purchased from domestic refineries. For example, Shell does not have its own carriers at all, so in Russia its duties are performed by AVTEK, which receives gasoline in Ufa, Kapotnya, Yaroslavl, and also Ryazan.

Moreover, at the same gas station each time there can be fuel from different places. They transport it in the same fuel trucks, as a result of which a new batch may come with traces of the previous one. And it is not necessary that it will be the same brand of gasoline. Although company employees exclude the possibility of mixing samples, arguing that there is a special sensor inside the container, this risk cannot be dismissed.

Considering all of the above, it remains to focus the attention of motorists on the above data and recommend purchasing gasoline at gas stations of oil producing companies that have taken a course towards improving fuel quality and are interested in the constancy of customers. This will be indirect evidence of good gasoline and high service.

Many gas stations in Russia unable to fully meet the needs of customers. Not all stations have what the modern car owner needs. Although quality fuel is a key criterion, additional criteria were taken into account when compiling the rating.

If you are thinking about which of the gas stations are the best in Russia, this rating will help you decide.

Evaluation criteria

Everyone decides for himself at which gas stations to service his car. But in order to objectively assess and find the most optimal supplier fuel, you need to rely on some criteria

With their help, you can filter out a number of gas stations and refuel only in those places that are considered the best.

The best gas stations were selected according to the following criteria.

1. Gasoline quality. It is logical that you need to refuel only with high quality fuel. This criterion is floating, since much may depend on the specific supply, compliance with the rules for the storage and transportation of gasoline, diesel or gas. For example, a supplier can provide gas stations with good fuel, but the station employees themselves, if storage rules are violated, if there is no protection against garbage getting into tanks, they will spoil good fuel. Or even at the stage of production or transportation, the supplier will add impurities, additives that artificially increase the octane number, but negatively affect quality characteristics.
2. Service. If the driver has a choice, he will not go to the gas station a second time, where he was rude, poorly served, or did something that the car owner did not like at all. Therefore, the network should be attentive to the staff who work at gas stations. The opinion about the gas station is formed in people largely on the basis of how the employees talked to them, and what was the attitude. Those gas stations that carefully select employees, conduct training and carefully monitor polite communication with customers win.
3. Additional services. Previously, at gas stations, you could only buy some water. Modern gas stations turned into full-fledged complexes, where they offer a number of additional goods and services. Many drivers prefer to drink coffee, relax in a cafe, use the bathroom while the car is refueling. Also useful services are tire inflation and washing. All this adds points to the gas station and makes it more functional.
4. Prices. Important criterion for any car owner. good fuel It cannot be cheap, but the excessively high prices are not justified by the quality. This mainly applies to those gas stations that offer supposedly improved types of fuel under bright names. Studies have shown that only a few of these super really differ in characteristics and have the declared properties. Often, exclusive types are simply supplemented with additives of the A92 or A95 brand.
5. GOST or TU. In rare cases, fuel made according to specifications is superior to fuel that was created according to GOST standards. It is difficult to say unequivocally which is better, but in most cases GOST should be preferred. You have the right to request relevant information about fuel at any gas station. They cannot refuse. If they refused, then there is reason to think about the quality of the proposed fuel.
6. Promotions and bonuses. Some gas stations encourage drivers to return to them through promotions and advantageous offers, such as loyalty cards, sweepstakes, etc. If this is combined with good fuel quality, then such an additional plus will be beneficial. If the gas station is just trying to sell frankly low-grade fuel through raffles and promotions, then you should not fill your car here. Even the leading gas station chains hold similar promotions and provide regular customers with profitable terms. This is an example of good marketing.

As you can see, not only the quality of gasoline, diesel and gas plays a role in choosing the best filling networks in Russia.

Best gas stations

We cannot guarantee that each gas station from the entire network of gas stations located throughout the country will correspond to the information provided. The rating took into account overall ratings, consumer opinions and customer reviews.

Based on the analysis, it was possible to find out which gas stations in Russia can be considered the best and why. This data is only a recommendation and the result of a network evaluation over the past year. As early as next year, the rating may change drastically. Therefore, try to constantly monitor the quality of fuel and the level of service. Alas, at any moment they can deteriorate.

Tatneft

The list of the best gas stations opens with the widespread Tatneft network.

The quality of the offered oil products is strictly controlled. The fuel supplier at the gas station is the Moscow oil refinery.

The company does not hide the fact that the composition of the fuel contains special additives. But research shows good impact additives for engine performance. Many customers note that the regular use of this fuel has a positive effect on economy, reduced consumption and increased dynamics.

A good network that justifies its cost. Plus, the infrastructure is adequately developed, allowing customers to receive additional services.

Phaeton

One of the oldest networks of gas stations in Russia, which continues to develop actively and pleases consumers with the good quality of the fuel offered.

Some customers note that the quality characteristics of the fuel may vary, depending on the batch. This is largely due to the fact that the gas station network has several suppliers at once. They all promise high quality and tight control. In fact, indeed sometimes the fuel is somewhat worse than it was a couple of days ago. But the overall picture is positive.

The composition of gasoline includes modern highly effective additives that have a positive effect on the engine, its dynamics and economy. The residents of St. Petersburg especially fell in love with the network. Although Phaeton is also represented in the Volgograd and Leningrad regions.

If the network expands while maintaining the current level, this will be good news for car owners from other regions.

But it is precisely the inaccessibility for the majority of Russians that leaves this network in the last positions in the ranking.

Sibneft

Being Russian enterprise, the network began its existence in 1995. In a short time, gas stations have gained wide popularity. Largely due to the excellent quality of fuel, as well as a good additional service.

On a large number of additional services should not be counted. Some gas stations are as simply staffed as possible. But the network has earned its place in the rating due to its professionalism and technical equipment. This allows the company to use oil products extracted from a greater depth than most competitors, which has a positive effect on the characteristics of the resulting fuel.

Prime fuel, which appeared in 2013, is in particular demand. Wide distribution throughout Russia and a decent level of quality with affordable price allowed the network to enter the rating the best gas stations countries.

track

Offers the services of its gas stations in the Moscow region. Plus, the network has partners in the regions, so they can also be considered part of the overall network.

It will be correct to take into account the reviews and reputation of Moscow gas stations and gas stations in the region. Opinions vary, but most customers note high level quality and excellent service maintenance. Many gas stations have shops and cozy cafes.

Fuel cards are issued here, which are valid for the Trassa network itself, as well as for partners. There are more than 2 thousand of them all over Russia.

BP

In Russia, these gas stations operate under a license from Rosneft

British Petroleum is the world's largest producer and refiner of oil and gas products. Their gas stations are represented all over the world, including Russia.

On the territory of the Russian Federation, these gas stations operate under a license owned by Rosneft. The quality does not suffer from this. On the contrary, purely in terms of fuel quality, BP occupies one of the leading positions.

Plus, the network has a wide range of additional services that the driver can use while refueling the car.

They use proprietary additives to prevent premature wear engine, rid it of deposits and improve dynamics. With regular use of this fuel, gasoline savings increase, as evidenced by consumer reviews.

TNK

A large Russian network of gas stations, which is located at a high position in our rating. One of the best quality fuels good service and predominantly professional staff. There are exceptions, but this is typical for any network.

About 35% of the fuel sold meets Euro 5 environmental standards. The most popular are A95 and its improved version Pulsar. High octane rating and excellent additives allow the engine to run at maximum efficiency, consuming less fuel.

The TNK network deserved such a high position due to the optimal ratio of price and quality. Plus, regular customers receive bonuses and discounts.

Shell

All offered Gazprom Neft fuel meets Euro 4 standards

Currently one of the best gas station networks in Russia. All offered fuel meets Euro 4 standards.

This is one of those cases when the production of fuel according to specifications exceeds GOST. The best option for owners of domestic and imported cars.

In addition to gasoline and diesel fuel, the gas station network offers gas. Plus, here you can get additional services, quality service. In rare cases, motorists noted not the most polite attitude of the staff. But this is rather an exception to the rule.

Lukoil

Most car owners recognized that this network is the best in Russia. Fuel complies with Euro 5 standards.

The company has won numerous awards as the supplier of the most environmentally friendly gasoline. Great amount positive feedback and a wide base of regular customers speak volumes.

This is a gas station where you can fill up any car, from an old Zhiguli to a modern supercar. Great service, useful additional services and polite staff bring the chain to the first place in our rating. Although the prices are slightly higher than the competition, they can be justified by high quality fuel and other key benefits.

If you have your own options for the best gas stations, be sure to write in the comments. It will be interesting to read your opinion and perhaps discuss it.

Each manufacturer of automotive "fuel" assures us that its fuel is of the highest quality and refuel its iron horses should be at their branded gas stations. In fact, everything is different, and to figure out which gas stations are the most quality gasoline, often only an experienced driver can. But even they often help filling station rating Moscow and other cities of Russia.

WHY YOU SHOULD FUEL YOUR CAR WITH QUALITY GASOLINE

Many drivers do not attach much importance to such a factor as the quality of gasoline they fill their cars with. But the consequences Bad quality fuels can be very different:

• there are problems with starting the engine;
• spark plugs fail;
• fuel system components are damaged.

In addition, other problems may occur. It all depends on how long the car was refueled with poor quality fuel, and what was its composition.

HOW GASOLINE QUALITY IS DETERMINED

Unfortunately, in Moscow and other cities of the country, the situation with the quality of gasoline has been deplorable for many years. Drivers are frankly deceived even at branded gas stations, not to mention little-known small gas stations.

We are used to the fact that the quality of gasoline is determined by the following indicators:

• octane number;
• the amount of additives and foreign substances;
• fraction indicators.

At first glance, everything is clear with the octane number. It is 80, 92, 95, 98 or more high rate quality, corresponding to the European standard, that is - gasoline with the prefix "Euro". However, due to various additives, the octane number of gasoline increases artificially, AI 95 can easily be made from AI 92 due to special additives, and so on. But the quality of this fuel will be lower than 95 octane blends from a responsible manufacturer. It is especially important which additive the manufacturer uses.

The number of third-party substances is another problem of domestic gas stations. It can be: acids, organic substances, alkalis, garbage, water and much more. Such fuel causes significant damage to the car's power system.

The evaporation temperature of gasoline depends on the fractional composition, the operation of the engine in various conditions, its service life. This indicator does not always correspond to the norm on little-known filling stations, which cannot be said about large chains of gas stations.

It is possible to determine all these indicators only in laboratory conditions, but not all drivers take this measure in order to find out exactly where to refuel their car.

WHERE THE POOR QUALITY GASOLINE COMES FROM

Despite the fact that expensive branded gas stations have a good reputation, sometimes low-quality fuel is also found in them. Therefore, a logical question arises: where does the bad gasoline And why is there so much of it in Russia? There are several reasons for this:

1. The irresponsible approach of the heads of gas stations. It is expressed in such factors as non-compliance with the rules of transportation and storage, and even in the theft of property. For example, yesterday diesel fuel was transported in a tank, and today gasoline is transported in an unwashed container. Sometimes AI 95 is simply diluted with 92 or 80 due to a shortage.
2. Dirt in gasoline. Practice shows that half of all breakdowns in the fuel systems of cars are associated with low fuel quality. Namely - with various garbage. As in the previous example, this situation associated with the negligence of the owners of gas stations.
3. Non-compliance with specified standards. Under the guise of AI 95, a product with an octane rating of 92 can be sold; or the mixture being poured does not match modern characteristics, which also adversely affects many vehicle systems.
4. The composition of gasoline in which low quality additives are present to increase the octane number. It is sold at the same price as a quality one, but fuel system as a result, suffers various breakdowns.

So at what gas stations to fill up a car in Moscow and other cities of the country?

RATING OF PETROLS IN RUSSIA

So which gas stations fill up the best gasoline? How trademarks oil products should you trust your car? To understand this issue, you should look at the rating of gas stations by the quality of gasoline 2015-2016.

10th PLACE - MTK

And this is despite the fact that in the rating of gas stations in Russia, MTK is so far the only network of gas stations controlled by the Moscow government. Gasoline and diesel fuel meet the Euro 4 standard, undergo the strictest quality control in the laboratory. This fuel is environmentally friendly. Along with this, prices at MTK gas stations are the most affordable in the capital.

9 PLACE - TATNEFT

Included in the top ten among the country's gas stations. One of the advantages of the network is that they can be easily found throughout Russia. For example, it is easier to meet Tatneft on the IZS highway than the SHell point. The products supplied to gas stations are manufactured by the Moscow oil refinery. Fuel quality is carefully controlled in factory laboratories. In the manufacture of fuel, only those additives are used that really improve the quality of the mixture and ensure good engine performance for maximum longevity. As practice shows, there are practically no cases of underfilling and replacement of gasoline grades at Tatneft gas stations.

8 PLACE – PHAETON AERO

Unlike the two previous brands of gasoline, Phaeton Aero is a product supplied to the gas stations of the same name by three manufacturers at once. This:

• CJSC "Rutek"
• LLC "PO Kirishinefteorgsintez"
• Technohim LLC.

7th PLACE - SIBNEFT

The oil company Sibneft has a powerful technical base, allowing to extract raw materials at a greater depth compared to the main competitors. The company started its activities in the Tomsk region, but quickly expanded its sales area in a short period of time. Today, Sibneft gas stations are located in almost all regions of Russia. The quality of gasoline is at its best due to the use of the latest technologies and the highest quality additives.

6 PLACE - ROUTE

AZS "Trassa" LLC is one of the most popular networks of filling stations in Russia. According to many drivers, the quality of gasoline and diesel fuel at the company's filling stations is quite satisfactory. In addition, AI-95 "Premium-Sport" fuel appeared at gas stations not so long ago.

5 PLACE – BRITISH PETROLEUM

Gas stations of this company can be found not only in Russia, but all over the world. British Petroleum is the most big company for the extraction and processing of oil in the world. The fuel of this company meets the highest European standards, filling stations are also equipped with everything necessary for the convenience of customers. True, prices for all types of gasoline are not the cheapest in the country.

4 PLACE - TNK

One of the largest oil refining companies in the CIS. A third of all fuel sold at gas stations meets the Euro-5 standard. Additional proprietary additives increase the power of the unit, contribute to economical consumption its resources, keeps its nodes clean. In addition, fuel at TNK stations is sold at quite affordable prices.

3rd PLACE – SHELL

SHell gas stations are among the top three gas stations in Russia in terms of gasoline quality. SHell fuel is environmentally friendly and meets all European industry standards. It should be noted that SHell fuel is manufactured in accordance with GOST and meets the Euro-5 standard.

2 PLACE - GAZPROMNEFT

This gasoline overtakes ТМ SHell as a fuel. Its gas stations sell fuel from several of the best domestic and foreign manufacturers. The product is manufactured according to specifications and complies with the Euro-4 standard.

1st PLACE - LUKOIL

It is believed that in Russia today this is the best network of gas stations in terms of gasoline quality. Products under this trademark were awarded the "Ecological Sign" and meet the Euro-5 standard. nice bonus- This acceptable prices for Lukoil fuel.

At which gas station to fill in fuel is a personal matter for each car owner, but awareness is also of great importance. Therefore, we suggest using the rating of the best gas stations in the country to choose the highest quality gasoline.

Attention

Some motorists are dissatisfied with the fact that after refueling AI95, the car is worse to drive, or even stall altogether. 9Bashneft Users generally note the acceptable quality of gasoline (with the exception of individual gas stations in the Ulyanovsk region), but they negatively comment on the quality of service. 8Tatneft Motorists' opinions about Tatneft's gas stations are either very good or very bad – there are practically no average ratings. Some note the cleanliness, convenience, delicious menu, clean toilets and the excellent quality of gasoline, on which the iron friend runs like he never ran before.

1. there are problems with starting the engine;
2. spark plugs fail;
3. fuel system components are damaged.

In addition, other problems may occur.

Info

Do not chase, driver, for cheapness! Almost every second driver at least once thought about where to buy not too expensive gasoline. An understandable desire. But standing at a gas station with goods “at a reasonable price”, think about it: GOST is unlikely to be so cheap, and one made according to TU will certainly not be very useful for your car.

The quality of conditions is initially less stringent. In the knowledge of which gas stations have the highest quality gasoline, of course, there is power. But always remember that in major cities There are fewer falsified and low-quality fuels, it is better to keep your ears on top of them away from them.

Important

In addition, gas is better on weekdays than on weekends and holidays. Check the quality. Look at appearance flammable liquid, evaluate the color scheme.

There are poisonous shades - do not take risks, do not fill the gas tank, even if the price is tempting. About color.

Which gas stations have the best quality gasoline: rating, reviews

What to do in this case? Interview local residents among motorists where they prefer to be served. Or watch the "behavior" of cars with local numbers.

Which station has the most of them - there really is. Another subtlety: watch out for excessive use of the bright words "luxury", "premium" in the fuel price list at the station. Remember that everyone knows how to splurge in our advertising time.
Look for a bit of modesty: a brand name without any "luxury". This is how a product is presented where there is no need to prove that it is of high quality and proven.
Passport of gasoline Which gas stations have the best quality gasoline? The responses of the people sometimes slightly (and sometimes drastically) change the places of accents. For example, Shell is in the top three. It is believed that the product is environmentally friendly (corresponds to the Euro-4 standard), GOST standards are observed in the production.

Rating of the best gas stations in terms of fuel quality Therefore, let's first analyze what nuances there are in the properties of gasoline, how to distinguish good from bad, and then look at the rating of gas stations in terms of gasoline quality in 2018. The best diesel fuel in Moscow 2018 rating But even they are often helped by the rating of gas stations in Moscow and other Russian cities. Important Why it is worth refueling a car with quality gasoline Many drivers do not attach much importance to such a factor as the quality of gasoline with which they fill their cars.

The company started its activity in the Tomsk region, but in a short period of time it quickly expanded its sales area. It all depends on how long the car was refueled with poor quality fuel, and what was its composition. Unfortunately, in Moscow and other cities of the country, the situation with the quality of gasoline has been deplorable for many years.

Blood-Raven › Blog › The whole truth about gas stations Prices at all gas stations turned out to be close - the difference did not exceed 30 kopecks per liter. Most available gasoline was at the IP gas station and Ecotech gas station, which is located side by side with dealer center Honda.

True, on them, as well as on Korus, we did not find the MTA Quality Mark. Well, okay - let's check the quality ourselves. After a circle along the Moscow ring road, we went to the region along eight main highways, trying to choose those “brands” of gas stations where we did not refuel in Moscow.

But just knowing the ratings of gas stations or trusting someone else is not enough, it’s better to learn to understand the characteristics and properties of gasoline on your own. In the manufacture of fuel, only those additives are used that really improve the quality of the mixture and ensure good engine performance for maximum long term. As practice shows, there are practically no cases of underfilling and replacement of gasoline grades at Tatneft gas stations. 8th place - Phaeton Aero Unlike the two previous brands of gasoline, Phaeton Aero is a product supplied to the same-name gas stations by three manufacturers at once.
This:

• CJSC "Rutek"
• LLC "PO Kirishinefteorgsintez"
• Technohim LLC.

7th place - Sibneft Oil company Sibneft has a strong technical base, which allows to extract raw materials at a greater depth than its main competitors.
Perhaps the retention period affects or the fact that the network has several suppliers becomes relevant. At Shell, the experts did not reveal such inconsistencies, but they found something else - a discrepancy with a single fifth class of environmental friendliness. Saved one of the gas stations. For your information. The fractional composition is the main indicator of the volatility of gasoline. After all, the latter consists of a mixture of hydrocarbons that have different temperature evaporation. The quality of diesel fuel and gasoline from the Lukoil and Rosneft networks is stable regardless of where the fuel is filled. It is also noteworthy that an extremely small amount of olefinic hydrocarbons and sulfur was found in the high-octane mixture. The situation is similar at Gazpromneft gas stations. The octane number at these gas stations corresponds to the declared.
Too low lowers viscosity and adversely affects automotive system. Where does low quality gasoline? Problems with the quality of gasoline and diesel fuel can appear anywhere along the route of the fuel from its extraction to the gas station:

• Using the wrong technology in refineries;
• The appearance of dirt and impurities during storage at the tank farm;
• Mixing with other gasoline at the tank farm;
• Pollution in a fuel truck on the way to the gas station;
• Inconsistency of technology when draining fuel from a fuel truck into tanks at a gas station.

How to quickly check the quality of gasoline and diesel fuel:

• Drain a small part onto the asphalt or into an empty container to check the color - transparent whitish, without a yellowish or bluish undertone;
• Add a couple of drops of potassium permanganate to a glass of fuel.

It is impossible to demand the same utility from gasoline 80 and 95 - fractional indicators are different. Before we talk about which gas stations sell the highest quality gasoline, let's evaluate a different, consumer rating.

The most popular is the 95th, the least popular is the 76th. And what? It seems that some gas station employees have learned the advice of Dale Carnegie "if fate gave you a lemon, make lemonade out of it" in their own selfish way.

Using the so-called additives for diesel fuel (improvers), they make anything from the 76th “lemon”, up to the 95th “brandy”. A huge number of cars across the country are powered by this dubious mixture. Particularly harmful to the car are improvers that were originally added to the raw materials from which gasoline is produced. However, not all “jambs” are stacked on the conscience of fuel dealers.

When the retail sector was developing, filling stations were built wherever necessary, says the head of the Russian Fuel Union, Grigory Sergienko: “The main thing was to put a column. It was believed that gasoline will always be. It turned out not. We only learned when BP came to Russia in the early 1990s.”

“She showed how to choose a location for a gas station, analyze the demand for fuel, etc.,” continues Sergienko. – And then the oilmen acted like that - they bought up, which was profitable in terms of location, strait and profitability of filling, and now gas stations that attract little are left out of their attention. Makhonin says that recently the share of independent gas stations has declined insignificantly.

Oil workers brew coffee

In 2016, Gazprom Neft sold 21 million cups of coffee at gas stations. “All coffee machines at our gas stations are also controlled from a single automated center that monitors compliance with the recipe and the number of cups sold,” says Krylov. “Coffee sales are steadily growing. In the first eight months of 2017, coffee sales revenue reached RUB 1.7 billion. This is 22% more than in the same period last year.

The retail business is uninteresting - investment attractiveness is low, Sergienko notes. The times when in winter, albeit with low demand, the margin reached 30-35% are gone, now it is 13%, and if you subtract the costs of maintaining the business, then profitability goes to the zero zone, says Algorithm. Fuel integrator” Victor Kostyukov.

Due to declining profitability, Lukoil was thinking about selling a third of the filling stations, but abandoned the idea. “In 2017, retail faced for the first time sharp decline profitability, - states Krylov. “But nowhere else in the world does retail remain a profit center for oil companies.” “For oilmen profitability in this segment is not important. They earn on wholesale sales,” Sergienko assures: vertically integrated companies dominate the market, set the rules of the game and prices, and thereby bury independent retail.

Makhonin says that last years The total number of filling stations in Russia remains almost at the same level. Vertically integrated companies prefer to build gas stations rather than buy them.

Independent gas stations have to survive. Some manage to negotiate with oil companies to work on a franchise, but they are few, Sergienko knows. Others negotiate to sell oilmen's fuel for a commission, increase sales of related products, or trade in surrogate fuel. The last state is trying to stop.

For the development of independent retail, all fuel consumers must have equal access to petroleum products, says the general director of the Solid Commodity Markets company (it owns 18 filling stations in Smolensk and Nizhny Novgorod regions) Ilya Moroz: “It is necessary to sell at least half of the fuel that is sold on the domestic market through transparent exchange auctions.” In addition, fuel shipments on the exchange market should mirror the proportion of shipments on the over-the-counter market - there are very few shipments through the pipe on the exchange, he complains.

Cafes and electric cars

To increase profitability, it is necessary to reduce costs and receive additional income from the effective organization of retail, Krylov believes. For Rosneft, the sale of related products is a priority, says its representative: in two years, sales of related business grew by 20%, the strategy provides for a doubling of sales in 3-5 years.

Sales in the store and cafe bring about a third of Shell's profits.

According to Gazprom Neft, cooperation with the retailer makes it possible to increase fuel sales at gas stations by 5% due to additional traffic.

Lukoil believes that the approach to refueling may change with the development of electric vehicles. It takes time to charge an electric car (fast charging - 10-20 minutes, and slow - 8-10 hours), therefore, the time spent by customers in a cafe and store will increase. Estimated Tesla charge time from 0 to 80% - 25-30 minutes using fast charging, says a Shell spokesperson. The company sees development potential in the installation of chargers - their cost varies from 0.8 million to 3 million rubles, but so far only on intercity routes.
