So I saw this 76 Gasoline ad and there was a reference to "Top Tier" and I figured - here we go again. BUT then I did a quick search and there's maybe something to this:
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is the premier standard for gasoline performance. Six of the world's top automakers, BMW, General Motors, Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and Audi recognize that the current EPA minimum detergent requirements do not go far enough to ensure optimal engine performance.

I found that site a number of years ago. I always try to run Top Tier fuel in all my vehicles.
Damn, I always stayed away from the Turkey Hills and some of the others because of the one hose for all three grades. I suppose I should re-think that. I saw on one of the threads on this forum that the gas doesn't stay in the hose anyway and you get what you pay for. I'll have to re-map my gas stops now... Thanks.
BP has never been on the Top Tier list. They just don't qualify (probably because they don't want to incur the additional expense of the additional additives). I have known about Top Tier gas for years and have used it almost exclusively (mostly Shell) for both my bikes and cars.
