No it does not have any more additives. It has more octane and that is all. If your engine is designed to run on 87 octane then using 91 octane is a complete total waste of money. The higher octane fuel will provide no more power, fuel economy, or any other benefit at all. In fact your car may be harder to start with the higher octane fuel due to it's higher flash point. It is a total myth that higher octane fuel is better. It is only needed in a high compression engine to prevent pre-detonation and that is the only purpose it serves. Use exactly what is recommended by the manufacture and save your hard earned money.

Does shell gas have the same additives in all grades of fuel?
At any gas station you go to, the different grades are just different octane ratings. Despite popular belief, this has nothing to do with fuel quality or fuel additives. You should use the octane rating recommended be the vehicle manufacture.
What are gasoline treatments?
They are additives that you put in your gas tank when it is full to clean your fuel system or improve the octane rating of the fuel.
What kind of gas does a echo shr-2100 weed wacker use?
Use a minimum of 89 octane. The 87 octane fuel lacks sufficient detergents and additives to keep your engine clean.
Who would use octane gas the most?
Octane is a liquid, not a gas. Its boiling point is considerably higher than that of water.
Can you use super unleaded gas in a Mitsubishi galant GDI series 99?
You can use super unleaded gas in any motor but it is pointless and a waste of money if the engine does not call for it. Higher octane fuels have additives to make them less explosive than lower octane gas so the will not predetonate or knock in the higher compression engines. They do not have more available energy to give your auto more power. The use of them can also leave unburned deposits behind in a lower combustion engine.
Is premium gas the same as special?
No, premium gas and special gas are not the same. Premium gas typically has a higher octane rating than regular gas, which can benefit certain high-performance engines. Special gas could refer to different fuel blends or additives that are specific to certain gas stations or regions.
What is the best gas to use to keep fuel injectors clean?
A higher octane fuel(94+). Shell has a lot of cleaning additives to their fuel, up to four times the industrial standard. All gasoline today has additives added that help keep injectors clean. There is no more cleaning additive in Shell 94 octane fuel than there is in Shell 87 octane fuel. Using a high octane fuel in a vehicle designed to run on 87 octane is a total waste of money and provides no benefit whatsoever. Once each year add a can of Seafoam, Techron, or any other high quality fuel system cleaner to a full tank of fuel and you will be fine.
Is 87 octane gas as good as 89 or 91 octane gas?
Probably, yes. Gasoline comes with different octane ratings because some engines require a higher octane to prevent pre-ignition ("pinging" under acceleration or on hills). Check your owner's manual. Also, you can experiment with lower-octane (and therefore less expensive) gasoline. If you do not experience pinging with 87 octane gas, then that is all you need.(Technically, a higher-octane gas burns slower than lesser-octane gas, but that is beyond the scope of this question.)
What kind of gas do you put in a 2005 Lincoln town car?
Regular 87 Octane with no more than 10% Ethanol
What is 89 octane fuel?
it's a little better than 87 octane but not really high test gas, 91 and 93 octane is the high test.
What octane do you use for a 1984?
for any Volkswagen gas engine do not use anything lower than a 91 octane rating.
What kind of gas to use on a 2005 Bonneville Supercharge?
A technician at a N. Calif GM test facility explained to me that the computer module on the SSEi can adjust engine timing, automatically, for 87 octane fuel. However, when I know I will be driving in mountanous areas, I prefer to switch to 89 or 91 octane fuel, to reduce the possibility of pinging during long or severe uphill climbs, and, the engine feels a bit more responsive, to me. He suggested using a fuel with cleaning additives every 3-4 tanksful, also, to help keep injection system clean. That is more cost effective than pouring additives in your gas tank.
