Top Tier Gas
I have read several people mention using top tier gasoline to keep their Corvettes in top running condition. Currently I fill up at Shell Gas Station with premium gasonline (93 Octane). We also have BP and Citgo in our area. Am I making a good choice with this brand or should I switch brands?

Citgo is a Venuzuelan company that just recently seized and nationalized all privately own oilfiled...
I don't support that activity.
The two time I used BP's 93 octane, I got a check engine light in my Vette. I won't use it again unless it is the ONLY station available.
Shell is a top tier gasoline.... and that is what I use whenever it is available ((95+% of the time)

He also made the threat to take over all the banks and nationalize them.
I have been using Shell in my 01 and have not had any problems. I have been getting 19 mpg in town.

Obviously, Mobil didn't see fit to include enough additives to make the list.
Top Tier gas is merely gas with extra additives to keep your engine clean(er).
