So where do I buy top tier gas, how do I know what station sells top tier gas? Only label I have ever seen on a pump or station states the octane rating,and ethonal content. Am I supposed to walk in and ask the minimum wage cashier what standards the product is formulated to?
It is nice that you can do the research,but as far as I can tell, this knowledge is useless from a practical stand point.


I was going to let it go,but you seemed to be getting your panties in a twist because some did not read your research.

I read the link the OP provided and it contained a lengthy list of name brands which or committed to selling top tier gasoline. You may want to review the document in its entirety.

Thank you for posting the reply I have not been able to stay on top of this thread, I have been living in a driveway of a house I am selling in NY and it looks like all the paperwork will be signed by Saturday so I have been busy getting my things in order so I can get out of NY ASAP. Hopefully I will have everything done and be on the road by Tue. or Wed.

Usually if I start a thread like this I try to stick with it and reply to any questions, but in this case there were other things that demanded my attention (especially if I want to get out of here before Wednesday.

While there is some truth to the statements that all gas is the same when it leaves the refineries the only thing that matters is what comes out of the nozzle of the station you are buying it from and pumping it into your tank. Your engine would run terrible on the pure gas that leaves the refinery, it's the blend of chemicals that are added to the gas that make an engine run better. I have read about this myth that states all gas is the same for many years and for a while I believed it myself. Some people are still insisting there is no difference but the fact is there is a difference in the quality of gas even if the octane rating is the same.
