Shell markets their gas as having nitrogen. Oooh. Aaah.
News flash: the air your car burns in 78% nitrogen.

Gasoline brand marketing is just that: marketing.
From what I gather the Nitrogen they are referring to is contained in the PolyEtherAmine (PEA) they add which is, if I understand correctly, generic Techron.
