Remember that Top Tier gasolines aren't just what the manufacturers feel are the best but those gasolines that jumped through the hoops for the consortium of manufacturers to become "Top Tier."...others may meet the minimums to be top tier but didn't submit for testing...I would agree with the premise however that if the price were the same or similar, I would rather use a gasoline at least I believed was doing a better job...

So, you have to pay a little extra for valve 1 in the picture above or, if valve 2 looks OK, save the money.

Nothing wrong with paying for peace of mind. Peace of mind always comes with a price tag.
