Every time I go to Sinopec to refuel, I always recommend fuel treasure? Do you need this thing or not?

Do you want to use the refueling treasure after refueling? Many car owners are very entangled.

Choose not to choose add or not to add.

Fuel treasure, a kind of fuel additive, claims to save gasoline and improve engine power, which makes car owners quite excited when facing high oil prices. Some salesmen will talk very mysteriously, and many car owners will buy a few bottles if they can't stand it.

However, since the CCTV financial channel "Consumer Advocacy" program said that "fuel treasure is not only ineffective, but also will hurt the car if used too much", it has attracted the attention of the majority of car owners.

How is the fuel treasure market in Hangzhou? Is fuel treasure a "treasure" or a "harm"? The reporter conducted an investigation.

Gas station: car owners don't take the initiative to use it much.

At 6 o'clock in the evening of July 6, the reporter came to the Sinopec gas station next to Hu Street in Gongshu District. Next to each fuel tank, the reporter found that a shelf for selling fuel treasure was set up, and the Announcement on Releasing the First Batch of Qualified Vehicle Gasoline Detergent issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection was posted above the shelf.

The staff of the gas station told the reporter: "We only sell this kind of' Hailong fuel treasure' produced by Sinopec, a bottle of 65 ml, 35 yuan. At present, there are many people using it, and the sales volume is good. "

The reporter observed at this gas station for nearly an hour, and found no information about the owner buying or using the refueling treasure.

At about 7 pm, the reporter came to the gas station of Shangtang Road, PetroChina. Due to the small size of the gas station, fuel treasure's outdoor shelves were not sold. When I entered the store, I didn't see fuel treasure at first sight. After asking, I found that fuel treasure was placed in a remote corner of the shelf under the guidance of the staff. What is sold here is a fuel treasure named "Taibao" made in Shenyang, with golden yellow bottle body, price of 40 yuan/bottle and capacity of 60ml.

"Because we are busy here, there is no task to promote fuel treasure. Generally, the car owners themselves offer to buy." The staff of the gas station said that only the factory sales staff are present, the sales volume will be better, and generally 80 or 90 bottles can be sold a day. Usually, there are not many active buyers, mainly old customers.

User: most of them can't tell the effect of use.

In the interview, the reporter found that some car owners would buy several bottles of fuel treasure if the factory staff recommended them. As for whether it is useful or not, some car owners admit that they have no concept.

The staff of the gas station analyzed to the reporter. There are two main types of customers who use fuel treasure now. One is the owner who just bought a new car, out of the heart of the car; The other is that the car has passed the warranty period for better maintenance.

At the Shangtang Road gas station of PetroChina, the reporter met Mr. Wang, a user who has used refueling treasure for nearly three years. He told reporters that he bought a mazda 6 three years ago, so he took the initiative to use the fuel treasure because he was worried about his car, and it was very frequent.

From the initial use of "Haolai" to the present "Taibao", he said that fuel treasure should use it frequently, just like people eating health care products, the key lies in persistence. His monthly fuel bill is about 1 1,000 yuan, and he uses fuel treasure every time he refuels, so he uses three bottles a month, * * * 1.20 yuan. As for whether to save fuel, he said that he did not feel any obvious changes.

The reporter found in a random interview that the main reason why the car owners who came to refuel chose not to use fuel treasure was: "I don't believe what they sell." "I don't think the effect is great."

Compared with gas stations, fuel treasure in 4S stores seems to sell better. In a Volkswagen 4S shop in Hang Cheng, the reporter met Mr. Lu who came to do maintenance. He has an imported Volkswagen, which has been in operation for less than a year. He used a fuel treasure called G 17, which was recommended for maintenance by the 4S shop at first. Every two cases need a bottle of oil.

"Everyone in our auto club uses this. 4S stores sell more than 70 yuan a bottle. Later, it was discovered that Taobao had only one bottle of 55 yuan. I bought it in Taobao now. "

Market: The brands are complicated and the prices vary greatly.

With regard to fuel treasure, it seems that both the ordinary model and the advanced model can find a suitable model, but at present, there are many brands on the market, and the sales channels and prices are even more chaotic.

There are many kinds of fuel treasure in gas stations and 4S stores, and there are many kinds of on the Internet. The reporter logged on Taobao and searched for "fuel treasure". There are more than 65,438+000 pages of baby information. There are more than a dozen brands involved in the first page alone, and the prices are also different. Some are twenty or thirty yuan a bottle, and some are only a few yuan.

What is even more exaggerated is that the online sales of "Hailong" brand refueling treasure, the group purchase price of each bottle is "only 4.96 yuan, including postage", while the price of each bottle of gas station is 35 yuan, which makes people stunned.

The reporter interviewed the relevant person in charge of China Petrochemical Zhejiang Petroleum Branch. He said that "Hailong" has only been sold at its gas station since its launch, and no unit or individual has been authorized to sell it on the Internet.

So, why are there so many sellers selling this fuel treasure online? "It is not excluded that gas stations sell at low prices, and buyers sell online, but even so, the price will not be as low as 10 yuan." The person in charge said that "Hailong" was transported from Tianjin to all parts of the country, and the freight cost was not limited to this, so there was basically a problem in selling online below 10 yuan. According to the reporter's understanding, in 2008 and 2009, only 12 brands of qualified automobile gasoline detergent were announced by the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

Expert: Buy and use according to the catalogue list of the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

Fuel treasure's advertisements generally have three selling points: "saving fuel, reducing emissions and cleaning the oil circuit". CCTV's "Consumer Advocacy" program has done experiments specifically for these projects. The results show that after adding fuel treasure, the power of the tested vehicles has not changed significantly, and the instantaneous fuel consumption has not changed significantly. Few vehicles can play a cleaning role.

Yue Xin, director of the Motor Vehicle Fuel Emission Laboratory of china environmental science Research Institute, appeared in the program, but when he appeared in Hangzhou last week, he was interviewed by reporters again, saying that he misinterpreted the original intention when editing the program.

Yue Xin told reporters that since 2005, they have conducted comparative tests on more than 200 kinds of fuel treasure on the market, and one third of them are qualified. "Car owners may not feel the difference immediately after using qualified refueling treasure, which is related to road conditions and car conditions, but if they run for about 5,000 kilometers, they should be able to feel the improvement of power and fuel economy, so using qualified refueling treasure is actually effective."

But he also stressed: "Excessive or improper use of fuel treasure is harmful." If it is used excessively, it will increase the carbon deposition in the combustion chamber. If it is added excessively, it will even cause engine knock and knock, and vehicle exhaust emissions will deteriorate.

Therefore, he suggested that consumers buy products according to the catalogue of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and add them according to the product specifications, so as to get twice the result with half the effort.

As for the unqualified list in the test, Yue Xin said that it is not convenient to disclose it because she signed a confidentiality agreement in advance.

He also explained, "Before 2008, fuel detergent was added to gasoline in all parts of the country, but now there is no gasoline in other areas except the national five standard areas adopted by Beijing, so the oil price in Beijing is higher than that in other areas."

"Whether this cleaning ingredient is added to oil products is stipulated by the state, but as a person engaged in environmental science research, we believe that all environmental protection should be a legal standard, and we also hope that consumers will keep their eyes open at this stage and use qualified fuel treasures correctly to maintain their cars."
