    AAA studied gasoline and found lots more gunk build-up in cheaper brands (not listed on TopTierGas.com). The difference is the amount of detergent additives, which is higher in the TopTier.

    In many fuel threads I have advocated for TopTier, but in all honesty we rarely get public studies to show if it is bulls*** or not. I have also tried to push back on Consumer Reports idea that all gaso is absolutely equal.

    that is a very impressive study. i thought triple a only fixed flats, jumped batteries and towed you home.
    i wonder if that's why we see so many problems in low mileage cars, while others go over a hundred thousand trouble free.
