I agree with most of these statements. Top tier has a minimum and I remember reading that SOME brands have up to twice the minimum detergents but I don't think it's a requirement.

I really agree that fuel system problems due to deposits are a thing of the past. You should never have to use a cleaner assuming you've run a top tier gas for some or most of the car's life. Of course the rare case of water or bad gas happens.

I had to fill up at a Chevron station I pass on the way to work everyday becuase I was past the 0 miles to empty. I've only seen one car at the pumps in a year because the prices are a dollar higher than anywhere else. As I pumped I smelled a "different" smell. I ended up only putting 2 gallons in because of the smell. Car pinged and ran like crap so bad that I mixed it with a few gallons of 87 octane from the fleet pumps at work and it ran better. Or in other words, buy from a busy gas station, your chances of getting bad gas are much less.

There is not going to be an instant mileage change using the same octane due to detergent levels. This is something you might see in 100,000 miles or more after the detergents have had a chance to do their thing or not do their thing.

Turbo rotary running 12 lbs. I kept it around 14, but toned it done some, so depending on the day 11/12 lbs. Pretty pitiful boost when compared to most, but it's double the factory boost, so not too bad. Dont't like to see the seals go south and destroy the rotor housings.
