I had a card come with mine outlining gas. In Canada the price diff on premium vs 87 wouldn’t balance. I’m about mpg at the lowest cost.Well, I stand corrected but Im still gonna use it.
Agreed....All my vehicles run better and get better mileage on high test non ethanol. NO SCAM
Hmmm I'll test this out too, might explain why I got great mpg in New York, I thought it was mostly the highway, I use Costco, will test their top tier then Shell top tier.Agree, I have been using the premium for the past few months and have noticed a big difference in mileage per tank.
You are mistaken. It was developed oringinally by GM, BMW, Honda as a higher standard of detergent gasoline to keep engines from losing efficiency from deposits. Other manufacturers, including Mercedes Benz, Ford, and Audi have endorsed it, too. It was NOT thought up by anyone in the gasoline industry. How do I know this? My Dad was a GM engineer for 45 years and knew the people involved in it from the beginning, many years ago. It is a 100% legitimate standard that is checked and maintained among those certified as Top Tier.Yes it is. I "grew up" in the petroleum business and this program is sold to big-petroleum companies as a margin-enhancer and a way to combat "gar price wars" by having a differentiator.
This is a MARKETING program to improve MARGINS and nothing to do with a better product to the consumers.
The claims have been independently verified. The detergents not only increase cleanliness, they also cause no harm to emissions systems, which is exactly why GM, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Honda, and others helped establish this and endorse it. One of their worries was that additives sold at auto parts stores were either ineffective or caused deterioration in the catalytic converters.What I am saying is a scam is "TopTier" branded gas as it means nothing except some special detergents they claim improves engine cleanliness as a marketing/margin grab.
Great post!Here is a list of the brands. It has grown much longer in the last couple years.

Blah blah blah blah blah. Brainwashed by the fancy logo. A detergent is part of all the name brand gasoline -- again this is nothing unique and just a marketing game to get the logo to drive sheeple to pay more.You are mistaken.

I've even gone so far as to post an independent study from AAA whose findings backed it up. I'll ask you to back up your statement with evidence from a reputable source. If you can't do that, then find something that at least attempts to discredit or refute AAA's findings. I doubt it exists.
Do some research on it. We have a fuel refinery nearby and they would also tell you that they have additive packages that are available for fuel sellers who are Top Tier certified, as well as proprietary packages for Shell, Mobil, and others.
One more thing. If their claims were not true, they'd face the same kind of sanctions that Slick 50 and others have faced for false performance claims.
Do you have anything to back up the statements you made or is this a opinion.Blah blah blah blah blah. Brainwashed by the fancy logo. A detergent is part of all the name brand gasoline -- again this is nothing unique and just a marketing game to get the logo to drive sheeple to pay more.
I think I paid $3.10/gallonI do too but it’s $4.69 a gallon! . Opposed to their 93 octane 10% ethanol blend which is $3.40. Can’t afford the 100% pure gas.
Nobody, including Top Tier makes the claim that cheap gas has no detergent. The EPA requires a mininum level. Top Tier goes above and beyond the minimum.Blah blah blah blah blah.

$4.69 a gallon! Now that's a scam ! I would be riding my Harley until I was 80 !I do too but it’s $4.69 a gallon! . Opposed to their 93 octane 10% ethanol blend which is $3.40. Can’t afford the 100% pure gas.
