[pianotech] The Fuel You Use In Your Car

[Gerald Groot]

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.

Several years ago I had a subscription to Car & Driver magazine(it was a
gift)for a year, most months I looked through it and passed it along to my
son, the real motorhead in the family.

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.

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.
