Isn't PEMEX 'Top Tier' motor fuel?
Not if the Magna has been refined in Mexico. In my Mitsubishi V6 over a couple thousand miles of straight Mexico Magna, the engine will repeatedly stall after starting -- stall when rolling to a stop sign with a warm engine, hesitate fart and snort. Almost makes the car undrieveable. These are not subtle symptoms. They are rude and nasty.
A dose of TECHRON cures the problem inside of 50 miles. The engine will behave itself for a few thousand miles then start back on a hissy fit.
When I use exclusively Pemex Premium no problem, 30,000 miles proved it.
When I use Baja California Pemex Magna, no problems after 12,000 miles.
Mexican Magna has a problem I have not seen in any USA regular gasoline. No fuel has pinged or detonated by the timing is computer controlled and when the engine misbehaves mileage isn't for snot.
Magna made in Mexico - bottom drawer for me. But lots of people use it and it works the same as any other gasoline. I wish my Mitsu engine wasn't so fussy.
