TOP TIER Gasoline
With all the talk about octane I thought this gasonline related info was worthy to pass on...

TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is a recently established new standard for gasoline performance. Four of the world's top automakers, BMW, General Motors, Honda, and Toyota recognize that the current EPA minimum detergent requirements do not go far enough to ensure optimal engine performance.
Since the minimum additive performance standards were first established by EPA in 1995, most gasoline marketers have actually reduced the concentration level of detergent additive in their gasoline by up to 50%. As a result, the ability of a vehicle to maintain stringent Tier 2 emission standards have been hampered, leading to engine deposits which can have a big impact on in-use emissions and driver satisfaction.
These automakers have raised the bar. TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline help drivers avoid lower quality gasoline which can leave deposits on critical engine parts, which reduces engine performance. That

Ruh, roh... Exxon/Mobil is missing from their list and that's all I've used in my cars since 1993. 
I guess you're gonna have to sell your car. It's probably trashed.

Thanks for the post. I'd seen the article in a magazine, but I threw it out before I could check on the web site list. Now I guess I know why the Shamrock near my house has always been so much cheaper than anyone around. Suprised to see QuikTrip on the list...

Chevron if at all possible for me.
Regarding Exxon/Mobil, I'm not much of a political person, but after reading an enormous amount from multiple sides of the situation on the Exxon Valdez oil spill and their very poor job of handling the spill, I have decided NOT to support the company.
