Bob,
Did you read your link?
Top tier is not an effort by the oil companies to make themselves look good,
but rather an effort by the car companies to make sure they cars can and
will stay in compliance with smog regulations over the long haul.
the problem here is if the customer goes out and buys the cheapest fuel
available, over the long haul it will hurt performance and emissions on the
vehicle. When the car fails smog, the car maker gets the blame even though
the root cause is the shitty *coughARCOcough* gas the customer has been
purchasing.
I find it interesting to note that Chevron met Top Tier with no
reformulation of their existing fuels.
You should not find it surprising that I use Chevron in my car and
recommended it (and other top tier fuels) to my customers.
