I met an unscrupulous person. It was just over a month after I bought a new car. The female gas attendant said that the car had serious carbon deposits, and when the fuel tank cap was opened, a wave of heat came out! Then she was promoted and I refused. She refused to give up and I said no, this is a new car! She went on to say, handsome guy, you don’t understand. You can’t drive your car like this. If I were you, I definitely wouldn’t be able to save this little money. You have to add extra money. I’ll add extra money for you! You don't have to do anything, I'll add it for you... I'm a little impatient, do I want money? Or give it away? She said she wanted money. Let’s buy four bottles and get one free. She continued to educate me. I said no, I’m not familiar with your brand, so don’t add it! Who knew that she said that we are a state-owned enterprise and the brand is used with our oil products... I was really annoyed. I was looking for a fuel card, and she started to sell in a high-pitched voice with a Northeastern accent. In fact, she is very suitable for sales. , Northeastern people are also very enthusiastic, and the Northeastern accent feels a bit suppressed because the voice is too loud... But she still insists on selling, saying that she has added it for you, and while talking, she takes the bottle and pours it into it, I Say you add it and pay it! I didn't agree with you! ...and then she stopped selling!

It's not a private car, and it's not yours if the bus breaks down casually. You should take good care of your new car. Anyway, I kept fooling around and asked for it. I was so scared that I added one bottle after another. After three bottles, I just stopped and asked how much it cost. 200 for gas. I was confused and asked for 230 added. I didn’t even know what it was. I yelled quickly and scolded the oil man. It’s not because I have a bad temper. I relied on the oil man to bring a big bag of additives. Can I add it? After that, he asked me to take it back and refuel it myself. God knows how much it would cost to add everything in. It is recommended that new drivers just say "come on" without saying a word. If you are a new car, just say "come on". If you just bought a car, the refueling staff's eyes will turn green. The gas stations near the 4S stores are all black shops. Just say "come on" and don't say a word.

We all have this experience when driving. When we drive to a gas station to refuel, the gas station staff will tell us that the car has too much carbon deposits by touching the exhaust pipe, listening to the sound, etc., and recommend fuel to us. precious. Are all gas station staff knowledgeable about cars? If you feel the exhaust pipe and listen to the engine sound, will you know that our car has too much carbon deposits?

In fact, the fuel treasure set is leftover from the United States. Before the 1990s, the oil quality in the United States was not good, so car owners had to add fuel treasure to enhance the explosion resistance of their vehicles. . However, after the United States began to compulsorily add MTBE to gasoline, the gasoline and oil products in the United States have been greatly improved. Fuel Bao could no longer operate in the United States and had to land in China. Currently, three of the four major manufacturers of Fuel Treasure original solution are American.

Fuel Treasure has three functions: 1. Enhance the anti-knock properties of gasoline. 2. Remove carbon deposits. 3. Vehicle maintenance.

First of all, the fuel treasure can indeed enhance the anti-knock performance of gasoline, but if your car needs to be filled with 95-proof oil, why do you need to add 92-proof oil and then add the fuel treasure? Directly adding higher grade gasoline is not only more effective, but also saves money.

Secondly, remove carbon deposits. Many fuel stores do have this function, but it is superfluous. Detergents have been added to gasoline. In 2011, my country issued regulations that gasoline detergents that meet the requirements of GB 19592 should be added to vehicle gasoline. Moreover, the role of fuel treasure in removing carbon deposits is not significant. It is better to go to a 4S store to remove carbon deposits in about three years.

Finally, this vehicle maintenance function is similar to health care products. If you say it is useful, they themselves will indicate that this product cannot replace medicine, which means it is not very useful. If you say it is useless, it is more or less. use. Therefore, vehicle maintenance is purely for psychological comfort and has limited effect. If you have the money, it is better to go to the store for maintenance.

The staff at the gas station have performance indicators. It is understandable to sell fuel treasures, but it will be very annoying if they chatter endlessly, especially those who want to forcefully persuade you and even try to persuade you. Filled from the oil filler. So how should we cleverly refuse sales? I have summarized several techniques.

1. "This car belongs to the company, and the fuel bank cannot be reimbursed."

This makes it difficult for the gas station staff to sell the car.

2. "I just added you last week, don't you remember?"

The staff contacts so many customers every day, how can they remember you? You said you added him I will recall it and then leave it at that.

3. "The car belongs to my friend and I borrowed it to drive it."

4. Don’t answer, don’t talk, don’t ask if this thing is useful? Say no directly and be tougher. I'm most afraid that someone who gives in half-heartedly will be able to talk to you for a long time.

In general, the fuel treasure is of little practical use, and the price/performance ratio is not as good as going to the store for maintenance or cleaning. When being promoted, you simply refuse.

PetroChina, the master opened the oil cap, turned to me and said: You need to add fuel to this car, the oil pressure is so high. Me: No.

The master didn't give up and put his bare hands into the exhaust pipe: Look! If the carbon deposit is so serious, you must refill the fuel tank. Me: No. The master continued: Your car is still good. The carbon deposit is so serious that it will break down immediately. It is better to add another bottle. I really can't stand his clingy look: I'm a car repairman, don't bully me for my lack of education. The master showed a shy smile: Every line has its own routine...

There is nothing you can do about gas station employees selling fuel additives. The company has a task. How many bottles must your employees sell? Okay, so the gas attendant has nothing to do, and this promotion is already the most basic terms of the undercover inspection. If you don’t promote it, your undercover service points will be deducted for the month, which is related to wages, so car owners If you encounter a refueling salesperson, you can say no, thank you! After all, no matter how windy, rainy or snowy, the refueling staff refuels the car owners. The work is really hard and the wages are low. I don’t ask you to buy it, just understand the difficulties of the job.

Introduction I don’t know if everyone has a situation when they go to refuel, that is, almost every time they refuel, they will be recommended by the gas station staff to add the fuel treasure there, which comes in a blue package and will be used when refueling. There are hundreds of empty bottles placed next to the machine, which makes people feel as if everyone who comes to refuel will add a bottle of this fuel treasure. At this time, some people who don’t know much about the purpose of fuel bottles and cars and have a herd mentality may be persuaded to spend dozens of yuan to buy a bottle and add it to the fuel tank, but from my own perspective , I generally won’t add it.

I have seen many sales methods. The most exaggerated one was when I saw a gas attendant put on a gas gun while refueling me, then took out a tissue and put it in my car. I wiped the tail section of the exhaust pipe vigorously, then came over to me with a tissue and said: "Brother, look at your car's exhaust pipe. It's black like this. There must be a thick layer of carbon deposits inside." "Yes, add some of our fuel treasure here, which can not only remove carbon deposits, but also make the car perform better. You see, the basket of empty bottles was sold this afternoon, and many people are using it." I didn't respond at first, and then continued: "We are a state-owned enterprise, and our suppliers are reliable. You can rest assured about this."

Then I still didn’t have the desire to add it, because I drive my own car and maintain it myself. I know the condition of the car well, so I just held a napkin on the exhaust pipe. There was some black stuff inside and it came out and it said my car is not working here or there, but as long as I add the fuel treasure here, it will be fine. Then what after-sales service and repair shop are needed? Just add the fuel treasure here and stay young forever. .

Judging from the effectiveness of the sales promotion, if I were a car novice, I would probably buy it. Generally speaking, the role of the fuel treasure is to improve the octane number of the fuel. If the vehicle needs If you can only add 98# gasoline to 95#, then you need to add a fuel treasure, otherwise some models may pop up a fault code, but I think the effect of the fuel treasure is not as exaggerated as promoted.

If you don’t want to use the fuel treasure from the gas station, when someone sells it to you, you only need to say: I maintain the car myself, and I know the condition of the car myself. Basically, I won’t continue to promote it in the future. First of all, you say that you maintain it yourself, which means that the other person knows that you are someone who knows cars and is not easy to fool, so he prepares words in his heart that he repeats countless times every day. When he hears you finish saying this, he takes it back. , refueling and collecting money honestly.

All in all, for the fuel treasure sold by gas stations, it is not that it is completely useless, but that the effect is not as exaggerated as it was said in the sales. When you really need it, you are not prepared in advance. You can purchase it at your own discretion when requesting money from Fuel Treasure, but if you don't know the condition of your car or are unwilling to use it, you only need to use an excuse to refuse.

My answer is usually:

I just added it two days ago, no need, thank you.

Answering this way, on the one hand, I tell the staff that I approve of this thing, and there is no need to introduce the benefits of fuel treasure.

Secondly, I have already added it, and adding more now will be a waste. After all, I don’t eat it every day, so the staff won’t sell it to me anymore.

Finally, I understand that their work is hard, but I don’t believe in things like fuel treasure. I don’t think the effect is very good, because I have actually added it.

There are more and more cars, and the business of gas stations is getting better and better. Car owners sometimes have to queue up to refuel at gas stations, so while you are waiting, the gas station employees have something to do. , that is, they will sell some things to car owners, such as car washing services, selling some gadgets on the car, etc. However, the most common one is selling fuel treasure to car owners. I believe most car owners have encountered it, so how can they refuse to sell fuel? Where is the treasure person? The fuel treasure is useless! How to refuse the recommendation of a gas station? An experienced driver can do it in just one sentence. Have you learned it? "Fuel Bao" refers to a common name for the third generation gasoline detergent (also known as gasoline detergent or fuel additive). Its main function is to solve the carbon deposit problem in the fuel system of electronic injection models and quickly restore it. The best working condition of the engine to ensure that the engine reaches its best working condition. The so-called "fuel treasure" is very expensive due to its advanced production technology. Most of the products sold in ordinary gas stations and small workshops are fake and inferior products, which are useless

In fact, the sale of fuel treasures by gas stations has become an important means for gas stations to generate income. Gas station staff often get good rebates from recommending customers to buy fuel treasures, so they will blindly recommend them. Many drivers will be impatient when faced with gas station staff selling fuel treasure, and most of them will refuse directly, because everyone knows that this product is really ineffective, but they cannot refuse coldly, so they adopt a dubious attitude. Just buy a bottle.

Facing the pestering salesmen, the old driver said that as long as you say this to him, they will not pester you anymore. This sentence is "This car is not mine, why should I refill the fuel bank for the work car without reimbursement." Generally, as long as the salesperson hears this sentence, he will walk away knowingly. For areas with normal fuel quality, the fuel treasure can really be said to be a dispensable thing. On the contrary, if counterfeit fuel treasure is used, it will cause greater damage to the engine.

First of all, you have to realize that all sales promotions will be like when you get a haircut in a barber shop, the barber will ask you if you want to apply for a card. Bad beat. Therefore, if you refuse, don't give the other party a shred of hope. You must have a firm attitude of "No, thank you." Then just lower your head and don't make any eye contact with the other party. Most people will walk away knowingly.

But is the fuel treasure really useful? This is a questionable point.

Fuel Treasure originated in the United States. Since the quality of gasoline produced in the United States was not very good in the last century, this magical liquid that claims to improve gasoline quality, cleanliness, combustion ratio, fuel economy and other benefits is now available in the United States. It’s all the rage on the streets of America. Until 1990, the amendment to the U.S. Clean Air Act mentioned that in order to reduce pollution from gasoline vehicles, newly produced gasoline must add oxygenated compounds, which we call fuel treasure. So since the oil factory has added fuel treasure, then Naturally, people no longer have to buy fuel treasures by themselves, so fuel treasures have gradually withdrawn from the stage of American history. So if you ask an American today what a fuel treasure is, they may not have heard of it.

Our country has also done the same thing. In the "Control Standards for Hazardous Substances in Automobile Gasoline" promulgated by the Ministry of Environmental Protection in 1999, it is mentioned that automobile gasoline must be added with substances that can effectively remove carbon deposits. The detergent has achieved the function of purifying exhaust gas. Therefore, for a period of time, the gasoline in our country naturally contained detergents produced by the original factory. However, in 2018, the country promulgated the "Notice on Reducing the Price of Refined Oil Products", which mentioned: Encourage the production of finished products Oil sales companies sell additives in small packages, and consumers choose to purchase them voluntarily...

Well, the choice is back in our hands. . So should I add fuel treasure or not?

Fuel treasure is a magical thing in gas stations, just like a certain health product. If there is a disease that cannot be cured, then I lose ~

Compared with the quality of fuel in our country For Europe and the United States, there may be some shortcomings. The content of olefins and sulfides in my country's finished gasoline is relatively high. These two will play a role in solving knocking, but they will increase carbon emissions and carbon deposition. If From this perspective, using fuel treasure is useful. But Fuel Treasure is an additive after all. Have you ever seen an additive without side effects? After you have used Fuel Treasure a few times, your carbon deposits may have gone away and you have a "clean" engine, but at the same time the residue of Fuel Treasure has slipped away, and it will be so hard that you can't even scrape it off with a knife. The kind that comes down.

Moreover, Americans no longer use Fuel Bao due to some carcinogens in it. And if Fuel Bao is so good, why doesn’t the country continue to let oil plants add Fuel Bao? Isn't it?

"Hey, my company's T-MAX air pump is also good. How about you buy one and I buy ten bottles?"

Haha, no , just kidding. Normally, say politely: No, thank you. Or it’s not necessary, I just added it.

That’s pretty good~
