Top Tier Gasoline
For those of you that were interested in this topic from back in June,
the Road Ranger/Pilot
stations now have Top Tier gasoline. They are the first I've seen with
large Top Tier stickers on the pumps. I'm told they were certified in
late summer.

The "Top Tier" gas standard dictates the use of lots of ethanol. I refuse
to use it for that reason.

Shows Road Ranger, but not Pilot.
Of interest: Turkey Hill, which is a division of Kroger. I would have
thought they'd use the same gas as Kroger, but apparently not--either
that, or Kroger is using Top Tier gas but not advertising it.

And yet, it works great--at least the Shell stuff does. Better than
anyon else's gas.

I understand there are problems with 20% ethanol, but what's your
beef with 10%? Our cars run great on it, including my Civic EX.

Given the EPA tight control of gasoline formulas in certain areas, do
you really think it matters?

I wonder if there is a "licensing fee" you have to pay if you claim
you are using "Top Tier" gasoline? If so, that might explain why some
stations advertise the fact and other don't, even if they are getting
their gasoline from the same tank.
I came across this article on "Road Ranger" gasoline:
http://www.businessrockford.com/bizn...rom-refineries
"Road Ranger promotes its gasoline as meeting "Top Tier" detergent
standards set by several automakers. Proponents say the additive
limits deposits in fuel systems and prolongs engine life, though there's
some debate whether it primarily benefits higher-end vehicles. Shell
and Phillips 66 also sell Top Tier gasoline locally, while other
retailers have their own blends of additives."

Excellently put.
BTW, a lot of people around here are complaining about big reductions in
mpg since the intro of ethanol about a month ago. OTOH, I have
continued using Shell and the difference, (loss), is not apparent to me
so go figure...

aromatics vs. olefins. if the latter is higher, it can compensate.
just like summer/winter formulations. but if you had olefins /and/ no
ethanol, you'd notice that.
