“You are what you eat.”
We have all heard this statement throughout our lives and not only does it hold true for people, it applies to your automobiles too. One question I am asked frequently by our clients is, “which brand of fuel should I use?” “My car says it requires premium fuel, does it really need this?”
Filling your tank can be a confusing choice, there are a myriad of different fuel additives advertised, multiple providers on every street corner and then they all have reasons why they are better than the guy across the street.
Lower quality fuels produce lower quality drivability and affect many of your vehicle’s internal engine components. With today’s extremely complex engine monitoring systems and internal functions that rival anything NASA would build, a light amount of carbon build up from less than optimal fuel can lead to increased engine detonation, lack of power, hesitation, rough idle and extremely costly engine damage. These can be easily avoided by using Top Tier branded gasoline.
This article from www.TopTierGas.com sums it up nicely:
Top Tier Detergent Gasoline
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is the premier standard for gasoline performance. Six of the world’s top automakers, BMW, General Motors, Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and Audi 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’s something both drivers and automakers want to avoid.
Going Green with Envy
Using these higher quality fuels not only keep your car in optimal driving condition, but they are better for the environment too. A finely tuned, well running engine burns clean and keeps emissions to a minimum, and that is something we are all affected by. One of the greatest feelings is a well running car. When your car is driving well, it translates back to the driver and becomes much more enjoyable. A mundane commute can become a nice little self indulgent driving experience.
Clean up!
If you are experiencing any of the negatives to not using Top Tier gasoline, fortunately there are many cures. One of the best is a full fuel system flush and engine tune up.
