Some recent information is coming in and it’s not looking good for Chevron. There has been an increase in engine parts tearing up over the last few years and lots of car mechanics have seen these damages. The belief that ethanol was causing the engine damage seemed to be the case. More ethanol fuel is being pumped into our cars when we buy gas now and this appeared to be the problem.
A recent study on gasolines has revealed that the ethanol is not to blame and it’s actually the gas from Chevron causing the problems. They do add a techron to their fuels and this is suppose to help clean engines. It may be cleaning them too well and damaging critical parts inside your car’s engine. Chevron with techron may have to come off the market and this could cost the company of Chevron and their stock holders millions of dollars.
It does seem like gas prices are back on the rise again and oil companies are still making huge profits on the American consumers. These high gas prices were under the Bush Adminstration and now we see them under the Barack Obama Administration. A new president hasn’t helped us at the gas pumps yet and the oil companies are still over charging for the price of gas.
Chevron is going to have to figure out their own problems and see what steps need to be done with the techron they currently have in their gas. I’m not sure the problem is with techron or if it’s something else Chevron is using in their gas and oil products. If you want to protect your car’s engine right now and get the most life out of your motor, you may want to avoid pumping Chevron gas into your car; until more information can be found about their harmful gas additives they are using.
