Top Tier Fuel?

[whitefish]

I don't know about top tier exactly, but as long as you get your gas from a more well known location, and not those discount pumps, you should usually be ok. I personally fill up at a specific Kwik Star when I'm in my home town, It's very good gas and I get great mileage. If I'm not in my home town I look for Sinclair, or BP usually. Good gas at a reasonable price, not to cheap, not over priced truck stop crap.

I know different gas works in different cars, for example the Honda I used to drive hated BP (Amoco at one time) gas.

Kwik Star is Top Tier - here is the list I have from their website:

Right, I also stated that I use Sinclair gas. I don't see that on the list, and it has always ran fine in my vehicle with no significant loss in mileage, if any. I am aware kwik star is a top tier, and in fact I believe in the top ten. It's also reasonably priced and very close to my home. The last 2 are the biggest reason I go there. I just do not like discount gas, such as murphys or stations that don't advertise where they get their gas from.

all of our gas stations (locally) are the same price per gallon regardless of what they pump.

I have noticed that too, but when you are traveling even within your own county or state, the prices can vary. I come from small towns and I'm used to considering what towns I will be in when I buy gas lol. The biggest thing I don't like as I think I have made clear is discount gas. It's bottom of the barrel dirty nasty crap that will burn through your engine fast and leave you without power and possibly a long motor life.

I always keep this list when I travel and I try to use Top Tier. I've never noticed mileage differences - I just use it for the additives (theoretically better for the motor).

Daug, I've noticed prices vary ALOT, even here in Canada. I drove from Winnipeg, MB to Rochester, MN once and the price in gas varied as much as 20%!

Same here. I do buy gas from a co-op (buy shares in the company and get a return on profit), which refines their fuel in Canada. Its not Top Tier and I've read it isn't the best gas, but it hasn't reduced my gas mileage.
