so top tier gas aside....

Using a good fuel cleaner can certainly help keep things clean from fuel pump and lines to ports and injectors + valves. Many others including myself have great success with Redline's Fuel cleaner. It has a bunch of PEA's as the main ingredient (Polyetheramine's) that are very good at cleaning.

Techron on the other hand uses solvent that can damage plastics over time...

How do you measure success? Most folks go hundreds of thousands of miles with no issues and don't ever put a drop of fuel cleaner in their cars; now that's what I call success.

Just obstinate at times.

Once again, total disregard for any API oil category as he professes diesel only oil (CK) perfectly fine for a gas engine:

Guess next on the list will be that Dexos certified oil is the same as any other oil.

I'm just loving how you take quotes out of context. Makes for a great discussion.

Turbo, you're wasting your time with this guy.. Like I said earlier, people aren't morons, they can choose to accept his unverified claims or they can read the AAA report and the multiple endorsements from the auto industry.on the benefits of using Top Tier gas.

You're right, people aren't morons, but they are often inclined to believe persuasive marketing campaigns.

lets just leave it at this:
(1) use top tier gas if you wish and don't mind spending the extra dollars
(2) use non-top tier gas if you wish and don't mind saving the extra dollars

/endthread

I for one use top tier gas because the car either recommends it, or some vehicles require it, as per the manufacture of course

Been a miserable week so far, power out since yesterday 9AM, maybe back on tomorrow, glad we have a generator.
Guess I can't let it die after the above reply. Having said that, I never take anything out of context, so you might think about the statements made.
