I guess some of you are not reading the information on the link I provided. I suggest that it may be beneficial to read about all the benefits of tier one before making a decision about it's benefits. One thing I had wanted to accomplish was to dispel the myth that all gasoline is the same but I guess that will not be possible to do when people choose not to read the information that was provided to support my statement
I read all of what you linked.I have a question for you living in SC, where I have found all fuel is 10% ethanol vs. pure gasoline, so where do you find top tiered fuel, that you suggest? In IN where I live we do not have many station with 10% ethanol as most are all typical gas.
The only top tired station listed locally is Shell. Buying most if not all of my fuel from Sam's Club, which is the lowest price, in my area I have not found any problems as they have a high turnover of their fuel.
The only vehicle I own that requires 93 octane fuel is my 1963 Grand Prix with 10.25 compression ratio to prevent pinging/knocking.
I have not had any problems with my Sam's club fuel so will continue to use it, as my selection of fuels for our 1996 RAV4 with 90K mileage is running fine.
This topic reminds me of my experience in a Distillery where branded liquors were bottled. The booze was bottled and the labeling machine would add the correct label to the bottle, when that run was completed the line was stopped and new different labels were changed and the line restarted with the same booze coming out of the 10-20K gallon tank filling the bottles. You could find two bottles with the same contents but different labels, brands. This is the same for may products and brand labels.
But thanks for your original post anyway.
