Dang, the couple of car lengths I expected to see turned to over three quickly, next thing I knew I was on the entry to the highway just whisking away like the car weighed 100 lbs lighter.
The sound of the engine was even more "race car like" than usual, it sounded really good.

I think there must be an element of "The Power of Suggestion" here. When leaving the gas station, the car is still running on the old gas in the gas lines. The car will go a few miles before any of the fresh gas has made its way through the fuel system and to the engine.

Sorry. No such thing as seat of the pants "testing".
I'm glad you're happy with your opinion of Shell gas. I'm going to keep buying most of my gas from the friendly corner market, that happens sell Chevron.
