“So how do Top Tier fuels like Chevron and Texaco with Techron, Shell’s Nitrogen-Enriched, and BP’s Invigorate work? Each employs trade secret organic chemistry (Chevron admits theirs involves a polyether amine. Others often employ polybutene amines, if that helps), but by and large the molecules include a “hydrocarbon tail” (that keeps the detergent soluble in fuel) attached to a head that includes a functional group containing nitrogen. When enough of these nitrogens attach to a deposit, it comes off. Then the nitrogens can attach to the clean surface and prevent new deposits from forming.”

This force is so strong that it can crack valves, damage bearings and melt pistons if allowed to continue. You’ll know when knock is occurring since it sounds almost like a diesel that isn’t running properly, or like a little man is under the bonnet hitting things rapidly with a little hammer. Knock is avoided by filling with the appropriate grade your vehicle needs or a higher RON, for example 95 premium instead of 91 regular. Using a lower grade than what is specified will cause the engine to knock, especially in European and turbocharged cars that are specifically tuned for the higher-RON fuel.

The player’s most effective tool for exploring this deadly and unforgiving version of Oregon is Deacon’s motorcycle. It allows for a quick escape in the event of being overwhelmed, yet it also attracts attention from the very things that would send you running. In practice, however, the dual nature of Deacon’s bike heavily favors the former.

The research methodology chapter is a perfect combination of primary research, secondary research and expert panel reviews. Secondary sources involve annual reports, investor presentations, company websites, government documents, internal and external proprietary databases, regulatory databases, government publications, and statistical databases.
