I fail to see what all the hubbub is about. The linked page is an advertising page for what is referred to as "Top Tier" gasoline. They expound the "fact" that their rated gasoline is "better". Kind of like the "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval", or a triple-A by BBB. Looks like hokum to me.
You fail to see the bigger picture - the additives. All gasoline has additives, determined by the refinery where the gasoline is refined. But some companies who purchase that gasoline, require that their gasoline gets special additional additives. Kind of like buying ground chuck or ground round at the butcher. It is the additive that is important in what happens inside you fuel system, and how clean that system is maintained. Gasoline and oils are all about additives, just like beef cattle are all about what they are feed and how they are raised. If you never have had Kobe beef, you probably have no idea of what I am talking about. And you don't know what you're missing out on.
