Thanks Mike, interesting read. I always put premium in my car as it requires it but I had no idea there was such a difference between gasoline stations and gas. I think Shell will be my pick as there seems to be more of these around my area than the others listed.

In August of "05 I read a column on something called Top Tier Gasoline http://www.caranddriver.com/features/05q3/your_car_is_a_temple_so_put_in_the _good_stuff.-column and what I read seemed to make sense. A few months later the dominant chain in my area, Kwik Trip, began advertising they were a top tier company and I began using it. I had, up to that point been running injector cleaner through my Dodge pickup engine about every month or so, I had been using Standard which became BP. After I began using the Top Tier I no longer needed additives. The same with my 2 vehicles that followed another pickup then my current car. I am now driving a Scion XB with a 1.5L 4 Cylinder in Wisconsin and all I put in the tank is Top Tier Fuel. No Heet, no cleaners, no additives of any kind. I have suggested it to friends who have told me their vehicles ran rough on it, I told them mine did too until I had run 2 or 3 tankfuls through it and the injectors, valves and other engine parts were cleaned, then I was done buying additives, just fuel. http://www.toptiergas.com/index.html So give it a look and see what you think, I'm not selling anything, just relating my own experience and discovery as fuel prices begin to creep upward again.
