A reminder to run Top Tier fuel and avoid cheap gas

[ADS-B]

Oh, god, let's not turn this into the "Oil Change" thread...

0W-20 vs 5W-30

I agree, he always says Toyota and Honda is first in most every category, but there are a lot of them that are broken in his repair videos and no Mazdas? He did mention one time that Mazdas were OK but he didn't like the comfort of the seats.

As all of these guys, don't trust everything they say. These are the same guys that did a video showing a car doing "7k oil change" that is gunk up. Then telling us to do 3k oil change only. Ya, no way that car ever had 7k oil changes. The fact they published video piss me off. Been a while, but with the logo I'm 95% it's them. All these mis information

Gotta be careful with what people tell you. I once took a set of Junk Yard purchased wheels to a tire shop for them to put them on their machine to se if they were round and true. One of them looked like an egg while spinning (huge out of round). The tire guy said "Don't worry, you can balance that out". Just be careful and don't believe everything just because someone states something.

Everyone knows that 91-93 Octane isn't going to burn holes in your pistons. It's just an absurd statement.

Feel another reason why BP lost market share. Idk if it's a licensed thing. But I'm not going to risk it. Ty for telling us

Lost Market Share? They're still #1 in the US with 8.8%. I sincerely doubt any loss of business was over TT ratings.

saw this on another site.

TOP TIER™+ is rolling out to stations across the US. Many fuel brands have some of their stations converted but not all of them. We are working on updates to the website and app that will identify brands with the Plus standard. Once a brand is fully converted and the brand is ready to announce its status update, we will update their stations on the site and app. Currently, Costco is the only national brand that has announced it is TOP TIER™+.

The TOP TIER app is the best way to identify is a station is TOP TIER approved.

filled up my other car an hour ago and now it is $3.19 for 91 octane..and $2.65 for 87..funny 91 only went up 4 cents and regular 11 cents..

Around here we saw a spike of over 60 cents a gallon in on Monday morning...pretty we are getting gouged!

They used to be on the Top Tier list a few years back. Maybe they figure it's not worth the dues payment.

"Used to be". That's what I've heard! Been using BP for years; think I'll go with Shell now.

I wouldn't overthink it. Just don't buy cheap gas that has neither Top Tier nor Invigorate or similar. I avoid Sam's Club and Casey's for this reason.

BP claims on their website that their blend exceeds Top Tier minimum standards.

[kendel7]

Where can we verify that, though. I mean, if they want customers, the world needs to know about it.

Yes....if stations are TT, why wouldn't they want the public to know they are TT?

 

[kendel7]

3K mile oil changes were the standard back when everyone used conventional motor oil. With modern synthetic motor oil, I would change it at 5K… or maybe 7K if I did all highway driving. No way would I wait until 10K though.

I don’t put many miles on my vehicles these days, so I change my oil based on time.

Same here.....since I've retired, I don't drive much. I don't get even get 1k in 6 months time.

Yea, I already mentioned this on page 2.

As to why wouldn't they WANT to be Top Tier? IDK...maybe they don't feel like paying TT? Because you know everyone on the TT list pays to be listed. They don't just award it to you. They have to join the TT Alliance or whatever its called.
I'm sure they may lose a few dollars like that, but as the largest gasoline supplier in the US (as I also already mentioned), I don't think they care.
Anyone that really care abut that will Google it and discvoer BP has good gas.

Maybe. But I'm a strong believer in independent testing to verify claims.
