Would you like to explain how top tier gas emproves engine life. Please give the science, not the hype!
BMW, GM, Toyota, & Honda created the spec. Mercedes, VW, Subaru, Ford and others joined after the fact.

These are the engineers that create the engines and know what is required for the specs they are designing. They know that fuel needs additives for their parts and designed them accordingly. These specs far exceed the Federal specs that where in place prior to 2004.

I drive performance engines and have some very high mileage vehicles. My 2011 Suburban 2500 has 350k on the engine and runs very strong. We use top tier gasoline 75-80% of the time.

There are so many Top-Tier certified suppliers that you may struggle to find a supplier that doesn't have it.


FAQ:
 
I've had a drivers license since 1959. I just don't understand all the issues people have with fuel. My lawn equipment sits for months with no start up issues. My MH has sit one time for 18 months with no start up issues. I have never used an additive and use E87 for every thing. I purchase what ever is the least expensive fuel that is available at the time. Just did Sam's club for $2.34.

You must be manifesting! We have been taught that large amounts of alcohol kills rubber parts, and waterloggs in short order.

Glad to hear you have no issues. Guess I need to manifest my rig to run on water 😁

You are hilarious! I have a 1997 Dodge Ram with the 5.9 liter gas engine that now has 304,000+ miles on it and I have always used the cheapest, low octane gas at whatever fuel station I happened across. How do you explain that?
I also do not use any fuel or oil additives.
Just goes to show people are willing to pay extra $$ based on what they are told and not on real life.
 
1997 engines where not engineered to need the additional additives in top tier.

2011 engines from General Motors where.

Pretty straightforward and well documented in the links above, nothing funny about it.

Don't know if you realized what you just confessed!

But you told a story like a true snitch! Shame on the engineers that thought to engineer their products to lower standards. Just saying!

Well my 1998 dodge 2500 with 300k is a dog compared to my 2011 suburban 2500 with more miles. The 2011 has more power with better economy, so maybe the engineers know what they’re doing?
