The cause of this is carbon — which cakes inside
today’s compact combustion chambers, reducing their
size. You can’t avoid such carbon deposits completely,
no matter what kind of gasoline or oil you use.
Shell scientists have developed a special type
of gasoline — Shell Premium — that will auto
matically compensate for these carbon-created
higher and higher compressions.

As your new car piles up mileage, your high
compression engine increases in compression.
Even inside the first 10,000 miles, tests show,
this increase can cause knocking and engine
sluggishness. And this can happen to any car
on the market today.
