A Subject That Generates A Lot Of Curiosity And Even A Little Bit Of Controversy: Additive Gasoline. Is It Really All That They Say? Does It Make The Engine More Economical? Does It Yield More? Let’s Find Out!

Many people who use additive gasoline have been speaking highly of it, saying that the engine becomes more economical and runs more smoothly.

Fuel Economy: Reality Or Myth?

According to the information, additive gasoline can bring a fuel economy of about 3%. Now, if you’re thinking only about your wallet, pay attention; if the price difference is greater than 10 cents compared to regular gasoline, the savings are no longer worth it for your car. So keep an eye on it when refueling!

One of the great advantages of additive gasoline is the detergents and dispersants it contains; these additives help keep the injection system and combustion chamber cleaner, which can be a huge benefit in the long run.

But How About The Quality?

This brings up the old question: is the additive fuel you’re putting in your car of good quality? Because, if it is, that’s when you’ll see the benefits, but there’s always that nagging doubt, right? Are they putting the right additives in?

So, folks, the answer is: it depends. If you’re looking for immediate savings and the price difference is significant, it might not be worth it. But if you think about the health of your engine in the long run, then yes, additive gasoline can be a good choice.

But How About The Quality?

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

Light particle that shouldn’t be split surprises physicists

Russia erected the tallest building in Europe on ground as soft as quicksand, on the edge of the Gulf of Finland, with 264 piles of 25 meters, 30 thousand tons of steel, and 16,500 glass panels curved one by one in Saint Petersburg.

Suzuki Fronx emerges as the “compact coupe SUV” that Brazil doesn’t have: priced around R$ 37,000 in a tax-free conversion, the model has a hybrid version, 1.0 turbo engine, bold design, and the price of a popular car in India.

Not every car with a battery is truly electric; some hybrids never run solely on electric power, and since 2025, ABVE stopped counting mild hybrids as electrified, and these differences change everything when buying.

Peugeot 408 Griffe 2015 combines a turbo engine, 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds, a 526-liter trunk larger than many compact SUVs, leather, multimedia, cruise control, and a sunroof, but it remains off the radar among fully equipped used cars.

Chevrolet Onix leads the efficiency ranking among flex-fuel cars by Inmetro, achieves almost 18 km/l, and costs less than R$ 100,000.
