Testing the quality of gasoline at Moscow gas stations. Which gas stations have the highest quality and best gasoline Where is it better to refuel the car with gasoline

09.12.2021

We recommend refueling exclusively at well-known networked gas stations located near large settlements or along busy highways. There are many options: BP, Shell, LUKOIL, Gazpromneft, Rosneft, Neste, Tatneft. The results of our examinations of these brands of gasoline usually looked decent. And the likelihood of running into bad fuel at such gas stations is much lower than that of one-day companies. The external signs of trustworthy gas stations are clean territory, modern fuel dispensers, bright signs, a shop with a toilet and other attributes of civilization.

Try to avoid duplicate filling stations, painted "for the company" and called almost the same - for example, RV instead of BP or LIKOIL instead of LUKOIL. Not all yellow-green gas stations belong to BP, and yellow-red ones to Shell. And never fill in fuel, which is significantly (by a few rubles) cheaper than at a nearby branded gas station: there is a great risk of buying disgusting gasoline.

Octane number

Gasoline octane requirements can vary from model to model, even among cars of the same make. The manufacturer must indicate this parameter in the owner's manual and often duplicates data on the inside of the fuel filler flap.

670A5941-1

Gasoline is a liquid obtained from the distillation of coal, which dissolves fatty and resinous substances.

IN AND. Dahl. Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language

If the manual recommends a specific octane number, follow these directions. But more often the manufacturer gives a fork: for example, 92–95. In this case, you can use both gasoline, but the 95th is still preferable, because the 92nd, in fact, often turns out to be the 89th. And the car will go on the 95th a little more fun, and the appetite of the motor will probably be more modest. True, the difference in prices between these grades of fuel will hardly be compensated - refueling the 92nd is cheaper.

As for gasoline with an octane rating of 98, its field of application is highly accelerated, supercharged engines that require fuel with high knock resistance. There is simply no need to fill the 98th in a normal, naturally aspirated engine. First, it's expensive. Secondly, you will not feel any advantages. But the disadvantages are quite possible - for example, fuel consumption may increase. Calls to thoughtlessly fill all the cars with the 98th, "because it is better", we will leave on the conscience of marketers. For those who are interested in the nuances, we advise you to re-read our material "Delicacy for the motor" (ZR, 2015, No. 6).

What if the instructions for a car with a turbo engine specify an interval of 95–98? In this case, you can constantly drive the 95th, and the 98th can only be driven in extreme heat. The fact is that as the ambient temperature rises, the likelihood of detonation increases, so high-octane gasoline will have to go to the yard.

Environmental class

This is another important parameter to consider when choosing gasoline. The rule is simple: the higher the environmental class, the better the gasoline. That is, if the third eco-class is indicated in the PTS, then it is absolutely safe to fill in gasoline of the fourth class. But the reverse replacement is permissible only as a forced measure. True, fuel of a class lower than the third should not be sold today, and gasolines of the fourth and fifth classes differ from each other mainly in the amount of sulfur - 50 ppm versus 10 ppm (ppm is pro-ppm, or one millionth). Its content is limited in order to prolong the life of the converter, and the engine will hardly feel the difference between these gasolines.

If the class is not indicated at all on the fuel dispenser of the gas station, you should not risk it. In extreme cases, if the tank is empty and refueling cannot be avoided, do not be too lazy to ask the operator for a fuel quality certificate - there you will definitely find information about the ecological class of gasoline. And it must be indicated on the check (for example, Cl. 4). If, instead of the ecological class, the Euro or something like that flaunts on the columns, you should know that this is an advertising move that has nothing to do with the real environmental properties of the fuel sold.

If the car is designed for 76th or 80th gasoline, then feel free to fill in 92nd of any environmental class. At the same time, it is desirable to increase the ignition timing: the owners of ancient cars know how to do this.

Ultimate? Ecto? V ‑ Power? G ‑ Drive?

Which gasoline should I prefer - regular or "improved"? The advantage of branded gasolines is their increased washing ability, which helps to remove dirt from the elements of the power system (however, detergents should be present in any high-class gasoline, but you cannot spoil the porridge with oil). The disadvantage is the higher price.

As for the promises of an increase in power, this is an unfounded, unconfirmed advertisement. A positive effect is possible, but we are not talking about increasing power, but about restoring it to the rated values after cleaning a dirty engine.

For those who have been driving on regular gasoline for a long time and decided to switch to "washing" fuel, I recommend doing it gradually. First, add gasoline with a detergent additive to a tank that is half full of regular fuel. Then, when the tank is already three-quarters full, refill with improved gasoline. And then refuel only with it. It may be necessary to change the fuel filter if the contamination was severe.

And the last

If in a desperate situation you have to refuel at

Updated 12.17.2018.

Almost every gas station chain has its own loyalty program, which can be skillfully used to significantly save on fuel. The purpose of today's article is to compare the cost of gasoline in popular gas station chains, taking into account their bonus programs.

There are actually quite a lot of gas station chains, but most of them are not represented in all regions, so it is not entirely correct to compare their fuel prices with each other.

I suggest dwelling on the following filling station networks: Lukoil, Gazpromneft, TNK and Rosneft, Tatneft, BP. Short-term stocks will not be counted for comparison.

I want to note right away that at these gas stations you can simultaneously receive points for loyalty programs (for this you need to show your card to the cashier before buying) and cashback when paying with a profitable bank card. Points are exchanged for a discount at the rate of 1: 1.

Gazpromneft. Bonus program "We're on the way"

In order to become a member of the We Are on the Way bonus program, you can purchase a Gazpromneft bonus card for 199 rubles. at gas stations (it is important not to confuse with gas stations "Gazprom" - this is another network of gas stations, also quite large, but in Moscow, for example, there are no such stations).

Depending on the level of spending at the gas station for the last month (with the presentation of a loyalty card), the bonus account will be credited with:

● or 3% points - Silver status (for purchases from 0 to 5999.99 rubles);

● or 4% points - Gold status (for purchases from 6,000 to 11,999.99 rubles);

● or 5% points - Platinum status (if the amount of purchases is more than 12,000 rubles);

However, buying a Gazpromneft bonus card and maintaining a turnover of spending in order to receive a discount is still not our method. We will go the other way. You can apply for a co-branded Gazprombank-Gazpromneft card, which earns irreducible Gold status in the “We're on the way” bonus program:

The banking functionality of this card is of no interest (1 point per 100 rubles when paying by card, which is equivalent to a 1% cashback), it is better to use the Gazpromneft-Gazprombank card simply as a bonus (show it to the cashier before paying at a gas station).

The usual price for an unnamed Gazprombank-Gazpromneft card is 200 rubles / year:

But the usual price does not bother us much, for the action until 12/31/2017 you can get an instant Unembossed Gazprombank-Gazpromneft card for free:

A prerequisite for receiving a free card, according to the rules of the promotion, is to write an application for the transfer of wages to Gazprombank:

However, this statement does not oblige you to anything, there is no requirement to transfer the salary, you just need to fill out an application, and you will be given an unnamed card with a bonus application (the bonus application is activated at the gas station when you purchase from 100 rubles).

To be honest, filling out the application itself also turned out to be optional, at the end of February 2017 I just came to the Gazprombank branch and said that I often refuel at Gazpromneft gas stations, and there they recommended me to issue a co-branded card. Marinka gave me an unnamed free Gazprombank-Gazpromneft card without any questions.

The bonus application of the card has nothing to do with banking functionality and continues to work even if the card is closed (of course, there is no need to hand it over to the bank), or if its validity period expires:

Once again, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that in order to accrue bonuses to a bonus account, you need to show the card to the cashier before paying, you can pay with another card with a cashback at the gas station:

UPD: 03/23/2018
Unfortunately, the campaign for the free distribution of Gazprombank-Gazpromneft cards in 2018 did not last. For now, we are just waiting for new profitable offers from the bank.

UPD: 04.06.2018
From 01.06.2017, the Gazpromneft filling station network has noticeably worsened its bonus program "We are on the way". If earlier points were accrued as a percentage of the cost of fuel (for silver status - 3%, for gold - 4%, for platinum - 5%), now points are given in terms of each liter of fuel. So on the silver status for 1 liter of the 95th will give 1 point, on gold - 1.25 points, on platinum - 1.5% points.

For comparison, according to the old rules, refueling with 95th gasoline per 1000 rubles. on the gold status, 40 points would be awarded, according to the new rules it will be (1000: 45 rubles / liter) * 1.25 = 27.77 points. Accordingly, the more expensive gasoline is, the lower the final cashback will be.

Also, the lifetime of bonuses that will be credited after July 1, 2018 is reduced from 36 to 12 months.

If you received a free Gazprombank-Gazpromneft card for a promotion, please note: From 01.06.2018, SMS notification on this card will become paid (59 rubles / month), and it was automatically connected to all cards upon issue. You can disable this service at the Gazprombank office:

TNK and Rosneft. Bonus program "Family Team"

The TNK and Rosneft gas stations have a Family Team bonus program. To receive the Family Team loyalty card, you need to make any purchase at these gas stations. The card is issued free of charge (more precisely, a set of three cards is issued, one of which has banking functionality).

Banking functionality is provided by the Russian Regional Development Bank (RRDB) or the Far Eastern Bank:

True, there is little sense in the banking functionality of the Family Team card, when paying for goods and services for every 200 rubles. will give 1 point, which is equivalent to 0.5% cashback. I see the only use of this functionality in going through identification at the bank to receive 100 bonus points as a gift:

Therefore, the "Family Team" card should be used only as a bonus (show it to the cashier before paying):

The bonus account is credited with 0.5 points for the purchase of each full liter of fuel and 1 point for every 20 rubles spent on related products at the gas station:

You need to be careful with TNK filling stations, some of them have a different bonus program, not Family Team, but Astra.

UPD: 17.12.2018
The Rosneft Family Team bonus program has many different partners, sometimes there are quite good offers there.

Until the end of December 2018, in the “Family Team” personal account (in the “Promotions” section), you can exchange useless Aeroflot miles, of which many have already accumulated a lot, but not enough to buy a ticket for them, for points of the “Family Team” program. Let me remind you that 1 point corresponds to 1 ruble of discount at Rosneft filling stations.

The course is not the most attractive, but something is better than nothing. Aeroflot's 1,500 miles correspond to 500 Family Team points. Points become available for use after 14 days.

Lukoil. Bonus program Likard

A bonus Lukoil card can be obtained free of charge at a gas station:

For every 50 rubles spent on the purchase of fuel or other goods at Lukoil filling stations, 1 point is credited to the bonus account. The card must be presented to the cashier before payment:

The purchase amount is rounded down to a multiple of RUB 50:

Lukoil has co-branded cards with Otkritie Bank and Uralsib. Why they exist, I still do not understand, nothing profitable can be obtained from them:

BP. BP Club Bonus Program

BP gas stations have a BP Club bonus program:

You can get your bonus card free of charge at BP filling stations:

The card has a banking application from RRDB, which is as useless as the Family Team card (1 point per 200 rubles spent in any merchant).

It is more reasonable to use the BP Club card only as a bonus card, i.e. show it at a gas station before buying:

BP has several statuses for earning points:

● at the Green level (when purchasing less than 300 liters of fuel in the last 90 days) for every 100 rubles spent on fuel, 1 point is awarded, for related products - 2 points for 100 rubles;

● at the Gold level (when buying from 300 to 600 liters of fuel over the past 90 days) for every 100 rubles spent on fuel, 2 points are awarded, for related products - 4 points for 100 rubles;

● at the Platinum level (when purchasing more than 600 liters of fuel in the last 90 days) for every 100 rubles spent on fuel, 3 points are awarded, for related products - 6 points for 100 rubles;

When calculating points, the rules of mathematical rounding are used:

Tatneft. Discount card "Fixed discount"

TATNEFT simply offers to buy its bonus discount card for 170 rubles. (or 190 rubles at the filling station of OOO Tatneft-AZS-Zapad). The card is valid for 12 years. Holders of the discount card are entitled to a 3% discount on gasoline and 6% on gas products:

The Tatneft discount card must also be shown to the cashier before the purchase; it is better to pay for gasoline with a card with a good cashback at a gas station.

UPD: 12/14/2018
The basic discount on fuel with a discount card at TATNEFT filling stations was reduced from 3% to 1.5% when purchasing oil products and from 6% to 3% when purchasing gas products:

Also on the official website of the Tetneft filling station there was information that a discount on a discount card is not allowed when paying for fuel with a card. True, you don't have to tell the cashier that you are going to pay with "Halva" ...

UPD: 12.01.2018
The TATNEFT filling station network has launched a new bonus program Bonuses Tatneft, for which you can get up to 8% in bonuses in addition to the usual cashback on a bank card:

To participate in the promotion, you need to register in the bonus program any bank card with which you will pay for gasoline or which you will show when paying in cash.

For the first purchase of fuel with a registered card, 8% bonuses are required (the purchase must be at least RUB 1,500). As of 12/14/2018, Tatneft no longer pours increased bonuses for the first purchase. Also, in the first three months from the date of registration, there is a 1% mark-up to the standard bonus scale.

The amount of bonuses depends on the amount of the check and the turnover of spending for the last month. It is most profitable to refuel for 1500 rubles. and more at a time. So with a turnover of spending last month up to 4999 rubles, 3% will be credited to the bonus account, with a turnover of spending last month from 5000 rubles. up to RUB 10,999 - 4%, with a turnover of spending last month from 11,000 rubles. - 5%:

Bonuses are credited at the time of purchase:

1 bonus corresponds to 1 ruble of discount. While bonuses can only compensate for the full cost of refueling, you need to inform the cashier in advance about the desire to pay with bonuses:

If there is no movement on the bonus account for 6 months, bonus points are canceled:

So far, the bonus program is valid only in Moscow, Moscow, Tver and Voronezh regions. However, Tatneft promises a gradual increase in the geography of the bonus program:

UPD: 03/23/2018
It is important to note that you cannot get a discount on Tatneft's discount card and bonus points at the same time, you need to choose one thing. It is also worth noting that points are not awarded when paying using a smartphone or watch:

UPD: 12/14/2018
The new bonus program of TATNEFT has a "Bring a Friend" promotion. Each invitee will receive 50 bonus rubles as a gift after the first refueling, and the inviter - 7% of the amount of the friend's bonuses in the first three months.

Which gas station has the cheapest gasoline

It's no secret that the cost of gasoline and diesel fuel differs even at filling stations of the same network in the same city, and the difference is not just a few tens of kopecks, but a few rubles.

To identify the most profitable network of gas stations, ideally, you need to take the average cost of a certain brand of gasoline at all gas stations. However, the average cost will give nothing to an ordinary client, he is interested in the price of fuel in the areas where he is most often located.

For these purposes, there is a fairly convenient mobile application. multigo.ru, in which you can find out the cost of any brand of gasoline at specific gas stations near a given point.

For example, let's take the area of the Dubrovka metro station in Moscow, where the filling stations of all five gas stations are presented, whose bonus programs we examined in the article:

So, in the area of interest to us, the minimum price for AI-95 is:

● at Lukoil gas stations - 39.40 rubles / liter.
● at Gazpromneft filling stations - 38.95 rubles / liter.
● at Rosneft filling stations - 39.00 rubles / liter.
● at the BP filling station - 39.79 rubles / liter.
● at the TATNEFT filling station - 39.00 rubles / liter.

The cost of gasoline at the filling station, taking into account the bonus program and cashback

Let's calculate what the final price of a full AI-95 tank of a small car (V = 40L) will be, taking into account all the bonus programs of different gas stations.

Full tank of AI-95 at the BP gas station.
5th place.

Fuel cost without discounts: 39.79 rubles / l * 40l = 1591.6 rubles.

From this amount you need to subtract 5% cashback from "KEB" 1591.6 * 0.05 = 79.58 rubles.

We also subtract 16 rubles from the total cost, which are credited to us under the BP Club bonus program, we will assume that we have the minimum Green level (1 point for every 100 rubles, taking into account mathematical rounding we get 16 points).

In total, a full tank of gasoline at the "BP" filling station cost us 1591.6-79.58-16 = 1496.02 rubles. (if we had Platinum status, it would be 1591.6-79.58-48 = 1464.02 rubles)

The total price for 1 liter of AI-95 at the BP filling station is 1,496.02 / 40 = 37.4 rubles / liter.

Full tank of AI-95 at the Lukoil gas station.
4th place.

Fuel cost without discounts: 39.40 rubles / l * 40l = 1576 rubles.

From this amount you need to subtract 5% cashback from "KEB" 1576 * 0.05 = 78.8 rubles.

We also subtract 31 rubles from the total cost, which will be credited to us under the Likard bonus program (1576/50 = 31.52. Taking into account rounding off, we get 31 points, which can be exchanged for 31 rubles. Discounts).

In total, a full tank of gasoline at a Lukoil gas station cost us 1576-78.8-31 = 1466.2 rubles.

The final price of 1 liter of AI-95 at the Lukoil filling station is 1466.2 / 40 = 36.66 rubles / liter.

Full tank of AI-95 at Rosneft filling stations.
3rd place.

From this amount you need to subtract 5% cashback from "KEB" 1560 * 0.05 = 78 rubles.

We also subtract 20 rubles from the total cost, which are credited to us under the “Family Team” bonus program (40 * 0.5 = 20 points).

In total, a full tank of gasoline at Rosneft filling stations cost us 1560-78-20 = 1462 rubles.

The total price for 1 liter of AI-95 at Rosneft filling stations is 1462/40 = 36.55 rubles / liter.

Full tank of AI-95 at the TATNEFT gas station.
2nd place.

The cost of the Tatneft discount card is 170 rubles. we will not accept it for calculations, given that its validity period is 12 years, the price looks insignificant.

Fuel cost without discounts: 39.00 rubles / l * 40l = 1560 rubles.

From this amount, we subtract a 3% discount on a discount card 1560 * 0.03 = 46.8 rubles.

Cashback from "KEB" is calculated from the amount at a discount (1560-46.8) * 0.05 = 75.66 rubles.

In total, a full tank of gasoline at Tatneft filling stations cost us 1560 - 75.66-46.8 = 1437.54 rubles.

The total price of 1 liter of AI-95 at the Tatneft filling station is 1437.54 / 40 = 35.94 rubles / liter.

Full tank of AI-95 at the Gazpromneft gas station.
1st place.

Fuel cost without discounts: 38.95 rubles / l * 40l = 1558 rubles.

From this amount you need to subtract 5% cashback from "KEB" 1558 * 0.05 = 77.9 rubles.

We also subtract 62.32 rubles from the total cost, which will be credited to us under the "We're on the way" bonus program for "Gold" status: 1558 * 0.04 = 62.32.

In total, a full tank of gasoline at Gazpromneft filling stations cost us 1558 - 77.9-62.32 = 1417.78 rubles.

The total price for 1 liter of AI-95 at Gazpromneft filling stations is 1,417.78 / 40 = 35.44 rubles / liter.

Output

In the considered case, the most profitable was the Gazpromneft network. ( UPD: 12.01.2018: Thanks to new bonus program refueling at TATNEFT filling stations is no less profitable, especially at high rpm). But, I think, each of you will get your own plate of profitable gas stations, taking into account your usual route. In addition, there are many good regional gas station networks with their own bonus programs, which were deprived of attention in this article, for example, "EKA", "Bashneft", "Trassa", "Astra", "Shell", "Neste oil", etc. ...

The main thing I wanted to say is that you just need to present a bonus card before paying, and pay with another card with cashback. You can participate in several loyalty programs (especially if participation is free) and use the gas station network that currently offers some additional interesting perks.

I hope my article was useful to you, write about all the clarifications and additions in the comments.

Every driver knows how important it is to use high-quality gasoline for his car. By filling the car with bad fuel, you significantly impair its performance and risk reducing its life. In order not to get into an unpleasant situation and know where the fuel and lubricants are best, we bring to your attention the rating of filling stations by the quality of gasoline and diesel fuel in 2018-2019.

№10 - Phaeton Aero

Fuel is supplied to the Phaeton Aero filling stations by several popular factories at once. First of all, it is Kirishsky, secondly - Yaroslavsky. The network is one of the oldest and most famous on the territory of Russia, but as an answer to the question "which filling station has the highest quality gasoline" it is rarely used.

It wins over residents of St. Petersburg and the surrounding regions with a rich variety of additional services, from convenience stores to car washes.

No. 9 - MTK

MTK is the only gas station network in Russia that is fully controlled by the Moscow government. Due to this, it can be considered that the stations of this particular company are subjected to the most stringent and thorough checks. MTK products comply with the Euro-4 standard. If we compare the stations of the company with other good gas stations that are on the territory of Moscow and the Moscow region, then the prices here are the cheapest. Therefore, it is best for thrifty drivers to refuel here.

No. 8 - Tatneft

Oil for the filling station network from the Tatar region is supplied by the Moscow Oil Refinery, so there is no need to doubt the quality of the fuel. However, in spite of this, the drivers speak about Tatneft either too positively, or smash it to smithereens, something average is not given.

It should be admitted that the company's leaders do not hide the fact that there are certain additives in their products, but there are no comments on how they affect the car. TATNEFT is trying to win over consumers by lowering fuel prices, and in this matter it really bypasses most of its competitors. This is complemented by friendly staff and well-equipped recreation areas.

No. 7 - Track

Petrol stations of the "Trassa" company are familiar only to residents of Moscow and the Moscow region. Perhaps in the future they will appear in the rest of the country, but the company has not yet announced such plans. As for the quality of the fuel, the drivers note that in this regard, the products more than satisfy their needs. The staff of the company's gas stations, as well as the rest areas for drivers, which are well equipped, also found a positive response.

No. 6 - TNK

In terms of the number of operating gas stations, TNK is one of the leaders in Russia. However, in terms of fuel quality, the company is inferior to Lukoil and other competitors. Despite this, the products comply with Euro-5 standards, and the price and quality of fuel are in the right balance.

Many drivers claim that TNK gasoline contains additional additives that have a positive effect on engine operation and make it more economical. It should be noted that the company's filling stations are present not only in Russia, but also in the CIS countries.

No. 5 - Sibneft

The main difference between the fifth line of our top filling stations with high-quality gasoline from the rest is that Sibneft has relied on the profile side of its stations. The company itself uses extremely powerful technology that allows it to extract raw materials at deeper depths than competitors.

Sibneft does not have associated services, which often arise due to the development of filling stations. The situation is absolutely opposite - the exclusive line of products is one of the oldest in the country and has conquered more than one generation of drivers. The choice of fuel at the company's filling stations is wide, and the prices are quite reasonable.

No. 4 - Rosneft

Rosneft is one of the few companies that has a license to sell fuel to British Petroleum, its creator is the main concern for the extraction and processing of oil around the globe. This advantage is complemented by high quality gasoline.

The fuel provided by Rosneft meets all generally accepted norms and standards, both in our country and in Europe. In-house oil production adds to the company's commitment to maintaining the quality of the material it offers. She has been coping with this task with a bang for many years.

No. 3 - Gazpromneft

The third place in our top filling stations with high-quality gasoline goes to Gazpromneft. The fuel at its stations complies with the Euro-4 world standard. The name of the company is fully justified by the presence of gas stations. The octane numbers indicated at the stations correspond to reality and are not exaggerated at all. All this is complemented by reasonable prices, competent staff and the presence of driver's rest areas.

# 2 - Shell

Shell petrol stations were inferior to Gazpromneft for many years, but according to many drivers, the situation has changed recently. This company is one of the largest fuel producers. Her gas stations are well known not only to the residents of Russia, but also to visitors from Europe who prefer her.

Shell is winning the hearts of its customers all over the world. One of the main directions in the company is work on the environmental friendliness of the fuel produced. Although for Russian drivers, this criterion is still not the main one.

# 1 - Lukoil

The first place in our rating of filling stations in terms of the quality of gasoline is taken by Lukoil. It is this company that is the recognized leader in oil refining in Russia. This is not at all accidental - the quality of gasoline that it provides complies with the Euro-5 standard.

Lukoil has won several prestigious Ecological Sign awards. Gas station customers are familiar with the added bonus of affordable prices and a wide range of fuels. Regardless of what kind of fuel your car uses, you are guaranteed to find it at one of Lukoil's gas stations.

In contact with

Each "ace of Russian tracks" saved invaluable experience not for self-interest, but for benefit. Because I experienced it myself: deviation from standards, the presence of impurities (to be honest: even though gasoline is not sour cream, but it is also diluted with water, fuel with a lower octane number) are fraught with big troubles.

Filters clogged, candles are out

If you approach the issue without proper attention, the machine slowly but surely, and sometimes instantly, reacts to violation of the rules of "nutrition". Clogged filters, malfunctions of injectors, carbon deposits - this is not a complete list of troubles that await us after we have filled the fuel tank into the fuel tank, even though we were assured that it is good gasoline.

What do you need to know in order to avoid the troubles associated with visiting the "wrong" gas station? To begin with, let's analyze the factors affecting the quality of the fuel: (a measure of the detonation resistance of gasoline), starting, working and end fractions, a measure of the content of alkalis, acids, organic compounds, etc.

Although there is an opinion that the fuel at branded gas stations is not always better than that sold by little-known points, many drivers, when asked about the “best gasoline”, at which gas stations they sell them, answer that they like Shell, Rosneft, and some others untwisted stations.

When you don't need lemonade

How to find out about the progress of fuel quality control? Law-abiding owners of each gas station put up special certificates for everyone to see. I would like to believe: in fact, everything is as written. Unfortunately, practice shows: the data of the official certificate do not always shine with reliability. It is impossible to demand the same utility from gasoline 80 and 95 - fractional indicators are different.

Before talking about which gas stations sell the highest quality gasoline, we will estimate a different, consumer rating. The most popular is the 95th, the least demanded is the 76th. And what? It seems that some of the gas station workers have adopted Dale Carnegie's advice “if fate gave you a lemon, make lemonade out of it” in their own selfish manner. Using the so-called additives for diesel fuel (improvers), they make anything from the 76th "lemon", up to the 95th "brandy".

This dubious mixture is used by a huge number of cars throughout the country. Improvers, originally added to the raw materials from which gasoline is produced, are especially harmful to the car. However, not all "shoals" are stacked on the conscience of fuel traders. So, it falls if it has been stored for too long. At the same time, the content of resins increases (due to an increase in the concentration of fuel hydrocarbons).

Ask a friend

How not to miss the choice of a gas station? There are many ways. The first step is to ask those whose opinions you consider objective and honest (friends, work colleagues, relatives). Although opinions may differ in this narrow circle, you can grasp the vector of actions and draw conclusions. The highest quality and proven brands in Russia in 2016 are considered: Lukoil, Gazpromneft, Shell, TNK. But maybe this applies only to the center?

It is believed that when traveling around the country, one may encounter the fact that a gas station, which has a high reputation among metropolitan consumers, sells fuel that does not meet the declared quality. What to do in this case? Ask local motorists where they prefer to be serviced. 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 bright words "luxury", "premium" in the fuel price list at the station. Remember that everyone knows how to show off in our advertising time. Look for a little modesty: a brand name without any "suites". This is how the product is presented where there is no need to prove that it is of high quality and proven.

Gasoline passport

Which gas stations have the best quality gasoline? The responses of the people sometimes slightly (and sometimes radically) change places of emphasis. For example, Shell is in the top three. It is believed that the product is environmentally friendly (complies with the Euro-4 standard), during production the standards of GOST are observed. The fuel system is not contaminated. But you can also hear that Shell (as well as TNK) in a number of cases sells fuel stored at not the most classy oil depots (the owners of the storage facilities shake off their partners, to put it mildly, not that).

Therefore, attention, attention and more attention. Examine at the gas station, find there a gasoline passport. If the fuel has improved, it has a separate document. Read whether this process was carried out in accordance with GOST or on the basis of technical specifications. Assess environmental safety, find the name of the manufacturer.

Gasoline passport may be expired (valid for 10 days). At the end of this time, the initial indicators decrease, the quality of the fuel decreases. Do not take risks, do not buy fuel at gas stations before you read the passport data. If there is no document in sight, this is already a signal of the seller's dishonesty.

Don't chase, chauffeur, 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 a product "at a reasonable price", think about it: GOST is unlikely to be so cheap, and made according to TU will probably not be very useful for your car. The quality of the conditions is initially less stringent.

The knowledge of which gas stations have the highest quality gasoline, of course, is strength. But always remember that in large cities there is less counterfeit and low-quality fuel, it is better to keep your ears on top of your head away from them. In addition, gasoline is better on weekdays than on weekends and holidays.

Check the quality. Look at the appearance of the flammable liquid, evaluate the color scheme. Poisonous shades are present - do not take risks, do not fill the gas tank, even if the price is tempting.

About color. Experts say that in A-72 it is pink, in A-76 it is yellow, in 93 it is orange-red, in 95 it resembles gastric juice in color (yellow-green). Although there are those who find that sometimes it looks like Duchess lemonade and doubt the quality.

What smells?

There is a touch test. This is done by dripping gasoline onto your hand (the back is more sensitive). Dries up the skin? You've made a good choice. Are there any greasy marks left? Stop! Diesel fuel was added to the fuel, which reduced the quality. A very unpleasant smell is also a signal of fuel trouble. Experienced car owners and attentive newcomers are alarmed when they catch the smell of burnt rubber and chemicals.

These tips are helpful in identifying low quality fuels, but are not ideal testing methods. There are also chemical tests that can be done at home. Pour the test substance into a glass beaker and observe. Is there soot deposits at the bottom? This indicates that the fuel was enriched with carbon or benzene.

If you take a sheet of paper and put a drop of gasoline on it, a real one will evaporate without a trace, a low-quality one will leave behind a greasy and dirty mark. If you set fire to a drop, the clean one will burn without a trace, or rather, a white circle will remain. The presence of brown and yellow indicates an excess of the resin content. Particularly vigilant drivers resort to testing the fuel consumed by their favorite car in special laboratories.

We continue testing

Didn't make it to the laboratory? Continue your personal experiments: see how a drop of gasoline behaves on the glass? Did the "test subject" flow up to 5 mm in diameter? This means that the concentration of resins in it is 9-10 milligrams per 100 milliliters (the norm for high-quality fuel is 7-15 mg).

Blurred to 30 millimeters? The resin content is exceeded and reaches approximately 19 to 21 milligrams per hundred milliliters. Permanent excess of this indicator halves the service life by 20%.

About the amount of water in the tested gasoline. Add potassium permanganate crystals to the vessel with fuel. If the composition becomes typically violet, there is an excess of H2O in it. Crystals do not dissolve in high-quality fuel. Watery gasoline will damage spark plugs and contaminate fuel equipment.

The beautiful word "ariometer"

Cannibalistic? It is worth learning how to recognize the highest quality gasoline in Russia, at which gas stations it is most likely to find it. Many people like to use a household gas meter (ariometer). Of course, you should not completely rely on the reliability of the data obtained with its help. But if you need to separate the "grain from the chaff" and determine gasoline and diesel fuel, then the ariometer is what you need. After identifying fuel problems, take the time to conduct a professional diagnosis of the vehicle.

In the event of a breakdown and repair of transport due to poor-quality infusions, having laboratory reports on poor-quality fuel in your hands, you can contact Rospotrebnadzor (it is engaged in consumer protection) with an application for reimbursement of the costs of bringing the machine into working condition.

TOP 10

Looking for where there is the best quality at which gas stations, some motorists did reviews while driving through the vastness of Russia. The experiment showed that eight samples for the sulfur content met the requirements of class 4 (a couple of which approached the fifth), two showed the third class (we are talking about the sulfur content). So it's not all that sad. If you do not refuel from a fuel truck, do not chase after cheapness, you have every chance of refueling with a decent 95th, no matter where the hunt for a change of places leads you to in any corner of the country.

The brands "Gazpromneft", "Kirishsky benzin" are praised (tests give a stable positive result). The first of these has two factories - in Moscow and Yaroslavl, both guarantee the quality of products.

More about those who are ranked among the "ten brave": these are the well-known companies "TNK", "Rosneft", Shell. Many are familiar with TNK-BP and Neste. The filling stations of these brands are based on domestic fuel (with the exception of 98th gasoline). But be careful: in the wrong place or "at the wrong time" you can face the fact of the discrepancy between the desired and the actual - there are complaints about the quality from consumers.

German and Russian quality

There is a small company "Statoil" and a large, well-known, but not too beloved by consumers "PTK". The list of average quality is completed by Tatneft (there is no own oil depot) and Bashneft (there is a base). They shared 10th place among themselves. In terms of global assessments, there is the International Fuel Quality Watchdog Center. It is believed that the highest quality gasoline in the world is sold in Germany. Japan is on the second position, on the third - six countries, including Austria, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Sweden.

What is it, the highest quality at which gas station is found? The question is rather rhetorical. Some are sure that it is necessary to adhere to the principle “one gas station - one manufacturer”. Others believe that you can contact different stations, as long as they are branded. Still others say that even at a small gas station you can buy high-quality fuel, and fly at a luxury one. These are just some of the opinions!

It seems that the wisest of them is this: do not look for an unambiguous answer to the question of which gas stations have the best quality gasoline. Comprehend the essence of the question. And you will always find what you are looking for while driving through the endless Russian expanses.

Which gas station has the best quality gasoline? Almost every driver has such a question. After all, low-quality fuel has a very negative effect, in particular, on the operation of the engine and, in general, on the operation of the entire mechanism of the car. And in the end, it seriously hits the wallet. Based on the results of the inspection by Rosstandart, stunning conclusions were obtained: one third of the gasoline was of poor quality.
This article describes in detail the topic at which gas stations are better gasoline. You need to know this, as there are many petrol stations. And unknowingly, you can "poison" your car with low quality fuel.
It is also worth remembering a few tips for choosing the right gas station:

Any gas station must have a fuel passport, which is renewed every 10 days.

Any gas station must have a passport. It specifies the standard, the location of the spill, and the environmental friendliness of the fuel. The validity of the passport is 10 days.
If a trace of a drop of gasoline leaves a roughness on the skin, then the gasoline is of high quality. Greasy skin indicates added diesel fuel.
Low price is a reason to think about quality.
GOST indication is the best quality guarantee.
The normal color of gasoline is reddish brown.
If sediment falls, then this is an indicator of poor fuel.
In big cities, gasoline is better.
If, when adding potassium permanganate to gasoline, a red color is formed, this means that water has been added to the fuel.

Lukoil apart from the standard high-quality fuel, it also provides "Ecto-plus". It contains additives to improve engine performance and power. Gasoline complies with GOST and all European standards. Ecologicaly clean. High quality product. Suitable for any car.
Rosneft always offers quality fuel. Promotions, discounts are provided. Additional services are provided (pump up the wheel, vacuum the salon, etc.).
Gazpromneft offers attractive fuel prices and additional services. The quality depends on the suppliers.
Shell has only high-quality gasoline that meets GOST and European standards. It is worth noting V-Power gasoline, which is suitable for engines of any car. Promotes more efficient operation of the motor and increases its resource. Environmentally friendly, no pollution.
Gas station TNK... The gasoline is of high quality and is suitable for any engine, even a very “legible” one. Complies with the environmental standard. help to increase power and clean the internal components of the engine. Especially marked 92 eco. There are bonus discounts at the gas station.
Gas station Route sells quality gasoline. Most motorists are happy with the product of this company. State-of-the-art additives help flush carbon deposits from all engine parts. There are attendants, a recreation area.
SibNeft... This company has developed a new fifth-class Prime fuel. It has improved performance. Capable of reducing engine maintenance costs, reducing oil contamination and extending plug life. It is also environmentally safe.
Tatneft... Gasoline from this company is not suitable for every car, although it undergoes strict control. The opinions of motorists are divided here. Fuel additives help fuel economy and improve engine performance.
Bashneft... Passable quality of gasoline. Additional services.
Phaeton declares that he buys gasoline from the Kirishi and Yaroslavl refineries and constantly checks it. Additives contribute to better acceleration. The engine power is increased. And yet their AI-95 leaves much to be desired. Gas stations have many additional services, 24-hour supermarkets, pharmacies.

From the above, it becomes clear which gas stations have the best quality 95 and 92 gasoline.

What gasoline is better to refuel

Gas station ROSNEFT

If the car is designed for 92 gasoline, then 95 gasoline can be topped up. The opposite should not be done.

After you have chosen a gas station, you need to decide on the brand of gasoline. Many lean towards 92, considering it cleaner. But do not forget that 92 is still the same 80. Any examination can confirm this. But this is not the main point. First of all, you should look at the instructions for the car or open the gas tank hatch, perhaps the brand of gasoline is indicated there. If 95 gasoline is recommended for your car, then you should fill only it. Well, if 92 is recommended, then the decision is up to the car owner. There will be no harm if instead of 92 you fill in 95. You can fill in 92 and 95 one by one and experimentally find out with which gasoline the car drives better. But, usually, the choice remains over 95.

Gasoline 98 also requires close attention. By the way, if the question arises: which filling station 98 is the best gasoline, it is best to contact the Lukoil gas station. Some motorists ask if it is possible to fill 98. Perhaps the car will drive better with this gasoline? The answer is categorical - no. This gasoline is recommended for high performance engines with a high compression ratio. That is, for motor sportsmen.
But if there is surrogate gasoline in the gas tank, then 5-10 liters of 98 should be poured. And urgently visit the service station.

Diesel fuel

Gas station SHELL

Where is the best diesel fuel identified by American researchers. Sweden is in the first place. The sulfur content in the Swiss diesel is reduced to a minimum. In second place is Germany, in third place is Japan. The fuel of these countries is environmentally friendly and prolongs the life of diesel vehicles.
In Russia, unfortunately, diesel fuel is not of high quality. And that's why, . Moreover, there is no economic benefit in this. But if you still need diesel fuel, then it is worth checking its quality in the following ways:

low-quality fuel has a dark color and sludge develops;
if you pass high-quality fuel through a paper filter, then a small light spot will remain on the paper. With low quality, a dark and large spot with interspersed dots remains;
Water addition can be determined by pouring fuel into a transparent container and closing tightly. The settled water forms a separate layer.

At which gas station it is better to refuel with diesel, the refueling rating will help:

In Russia, the cost of diesel fuel does not match its low quality.

Lukoil.
Rosneft.
Track.
Gazpromneft.

Conclusion

From this article, the following conclusion can be drawn: the quality of fuel at a gas station can differ significantly from each other. You can find out something about gas stations on special forums, from friends. And in the future, use the services of only one company. If high-quality fuel is more expensive than conventional fuel, then you should not be afraid of it. It is better to pay for good gasoline than for a forced repair of the car.

Quite a lot depends on how high-quality gasoline is used. The use of low-quality gasoline can lead to a reduction in the resource of the engine, to a deterioration in its starting and have a negative impact on the dynamic performance of the car. And these allegations, unfortunately, have quite good reasons. Last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a direct order to the Prosecutor General's Office and Rosstandart to carry out multiple fuel quality checks at various filling stations.

The results of the inspections carried out are depressing - at least one third of the total fuel sold does not meet the established standards. Therefore, the right choice of gas station is of such great importance for Russian motorists. When compiling the rating of the filling stations, according to the quality of the fuel sold on them, the feedback from the drivers left by them on the Irecommend and Otzovik websites was taken into account. On these resources, thousands of users every day express an opinion about the quality of goods and services.

10th place. Phaeton

This company is one of the oldest operators in Russia, which is mainly represented on the territory of the Northern capital and its region. At the Phaeton gas station there are additional 24-hour supermarkets, small cafes and even pharmacies. In addition, they are all equipped with car wash points and services where you can inflate tires and repair them. Petroleum products for the Phaeton filling stations are purchased at the Kirishi and Yaroslavl refineries. According to the leaders of Phaeton, they are constantly monitoring the quality of fuel. However, some drivers express dissatisfaction with the fact that a car filled with AI95 at these gas stations does not drive very well, or even starts to stall spontaneously.

9th place. Bashneft

On the whole, users note quite acceptable fuel quality. The exception is made by several separate gas stations located on the territory of the Ulyanovsk region. But at the same time, there is a large number of negative reviews regarding the quality of service.

8th place. Tatneft

The paradox is that motorists speak either very well or very badly about Tatneft filling stations. There are practically no average marks. Some note the cleanliness of the gas stations, the convenience of using them, the varied and tasty menu in the café at the gas stations, and the very clean toilets. And all this is in addition to the high quality of gasoline, which allows the iron friend to remember his younger years. But at the same time, there are statements that after refueling the car starts to move in a ragged style, that is, there is no stability. The amount of time spent on overclocking increases significantly. Sometimes, as they say, after such a refueling, they even have to replace the gas pump.

7th place. SibNeft

Initially, SibNeft's activities extended only to the Tomsk Region, but now its filling stations can be found throughout Russia. In 2013, the company's specialists developed a new type of fuel - Prime of the fifth class, which has improved characteristics. According to the company, thanks to this fuel, it is possible to significantly reduce the amount of costs associated with engine maintenance. In addition, the rate of contamination of the engine oil decreases and the spark plugs last longer. In addition to all of the above, this fuel has a high level of environmental safety.

6th place. Track

The bulk of reviews about the gas station The track has a positive color. Almost everyone talks about the excellent quality of service, cleanliness, the presence of comfort in the recreation area and the good training of service personnel, including refuellers. And, of course, each one emphasizes good quality gasoline.

5th place. TNK

Good ratio of the quality of gasoline and its price. Even cars with capricious engines take gas from these filling stations well. True, some believe that there is some overestimation of gasoline 92ecto, which cannot be said about the quality 92. At the same time, many note a low level of service, which is expressed in the lack of politeness and promptness of the service personnel.

4th place. Shell

According to most drivers, the only drawback of the network of gas stations owned by the international oil giant is their insufficient number. All, without exception, note the high quality level of gasoline, which allows it to be economically consumed. Particular preference for motorists is given to Shell V-Power gasoline, which contains additives that ensure efficient and dynamic engine operation.

3rd place. Gazpromneft

One hundred percent availability of the promised octane number of gasoline, quite an acceptable price for it in the presence of good quality - this is what gas stations attract motorists to and what allows them to be in the top three of the rating. This is complemented by good staff training and the presence of additional services. However, there are statements that say that the quality of gasoline is sometimes influenced by the fuel supplier.

2nd place. Lukoil

All motorists note the presence of a variety of types of fuel: in addition to the usual, which has a fairly good quality, there is also the so-called "Ecto plus" fuel. The latter has special additives in its composition, thanks to which it becomes possible to extend the period of uninterrupted operation of the engine and increase its level of environmental safety. With all this, there remains a fairly high probability that the quality of gasoline will not be at the proper level in small cities.

1st place. Rosneft

The level of gasoline quality allows Rosneft to top the rating of Rosneft filling stations. They have the opportunity to purchase good quality fuel at quite reasonable prices. The level of staff training is very high. At gas stations, the use of a whole program of discounts is practiced, and with an enviable frequency you can become a participant in a promotion that allows you to save on fuel. The staff of the gas station also provides such additional services as pumping up the wheels, cleaning the interior with a vacuum cleaner. In addition, at the request of the client, gasoline can be poured into his canisters.

Much depends on the quality of the fuel. Low-quality gasoline can shorten the engine's life, impair its starting and negatively affect the dynamics of the iron horse. Alas, the fears of the drivers were not in vain - last year, on the direct instructions of the President of Russia, the Prosecutor General's Office and Rosstandart carried out many inspections of gas stations. The test results were disappointing - more than a third of all fuel was of poor quality. Therefore, it is important for Russian motorists to know exactly where to refuel.

One of the oldest fuel operators in the country, represented mainly in the northern capital and the region. Phaetona gas stations are additionally equipped with a 24-hour supermarket, cafe and even a pharmacy, as well as a car wash, tire inflation service and tire fitting service. Phaeton representatives buy oil products from the Kirishsky and Yaroslavsky oil refineries and claim that they constantly monitor the quality of the fuel. Some car enthusiasts are unhappy with the fact that after refueling the AI95, the car is worse to drive, or even stall at all.

In general, users note the acceptable quality of gasoline (with the exception of certain gas stations in the Ulyanovsk region), but they speak negatively about the quality of service.

The opinion of motorists about Tatneft filling stations is 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 has never run before. Others testify to the exact opposite: the car is jerky, prolonged acceleration, and even the replacement of the catalyst and the fuel pump. Therefore, only the 8th line of the rating goes to this network of filling stations.

Although the activities of SibNeft were initially limited to the Tomsk region, now the filling stations of this network have spread throughout the entire territory of the Russian Federation. In 2013, the company developed a new Class 5 Prime fuel with improved performance. This fuel is said to reduce engine maintenance costs, reduce the rate of engine oil contamination and increase spark plug life. It is also more environmentally friendly.

No wonder the proverb is so popular that Moscow is under the mountain in all of Russia: everything is rolling into it. Ivan Turgenev

All the best is taken by Moscow. Any non-Muscovite will tell you that. And even today, when the same china-taiwan-hong-kong reigned on all counters in the country, the moon in the capital is still more attractive for many ... Is gasoline, naturally, better?

This is what we will check by comparing Moscow and, let's say, regional fuel. The focus is on the most popular 95th gasolines. We will ignore the obviously dubious filling stations, of which there are plenty in Moscow, - let's take the eminent chain filling stations. Every time we fill one canister in Moscow, and the second somewhere farther, a few hundred kilometers from the capital. In total, we have in our hands eight samples of four types of fuel. Let's see how a solid brand is dependent on registration.

PERFECT PAIRS

The samples were checked according to the main physical and chemical parameters (FHP), which are standardized by the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union No. 013-2011 "On the requirements for motor and aviation gasoline, diesel and marine fuel, jet fuel and fuel oil" (TR TS). And since the document does not regulate all the parameters that are significant for the engine, we have added a few more checks on our own. Details are in our help. Let us recall, in particular, that for A95 gasolines the octane number, determined by the research method, must be at least 95 units, and for the motor one, at least 85 units. Nobody canceled the old GOSTs - we are guided by them.

Should all gasolines have the same characteristics, if not with each other, then at least in pairs (metropolitan-regional)? It would, of course, be good, but this is unrealistic. There are measurement errors and differences in storage times - in general, we do not expect a perfect match. Although we hope.

GASOLINE FOR THE FIFTH CLASS

Judging by the results, all gasolines fully comply with the requirements of the Technical Regulations. Fine! But there are some curious nuances. The most cheerful situation is with BP gasoline. Both are of excellent quality, and the manufacturers did not skimp on "octane": the fuel is closer to the 98th than to the 95th. But at the same time, the two samples are completely different in fractional composition! Consequently, the “barrels” with base gasoline at different “bipies” are not registered at the same address. Although both are honest "class 5". Shell has a similar situation. Both fuels meet the requirements of TR TS, and in terms of octane they are again closer to 98th. However, in Moscow they sell gasoline of class 4 with a small reserve in terms of benzene content, but in the Zubtsovsky district of the Tver region - “class 5”. Well, who said that all the best is in Moscow?

LUKOIL AND AFRICA LUKOIL

LUKOIL and Rosneft are clear leaders in terms of fuel quality stability! The difference in the basic parameters of samples taken from different filling stations lies within the measurement error, while everything goes according to the Technical Regulations with a very good margin.

The absence of olefinic hydrocarbons in Rosneft gasoline is encouraging: this means that during long-term storage the properties of the fuel will be stable. And sulfur in it is record low - noticeably less than in all the others. It is clear that gasoline from both LUKOIL and Rosneft is an obvious and proven "class 5".

The brands of gasoline are indicated according to the cashier's receipts, the location is in no particular order.

Did the sensation happen? In this case, we are very happy about it. The conclusion is that it is not at all necessary to drag out to the capital in the hope of buying the best fuel there. It is the same everywhere. Equally good. With which we congratulate you.
