Yes, great discussion indeed. I've learnt a thing or two already. Now if only someone can confirm or not if Costco [Toronto, Canada] gas is good enough for my MB. I always used to get 89 for my 07' VW and never quite had any issues. But then again, that's a VW and this is Merc.

My question is, if the gas isn't listed on the top tier site, does that mean it isn't top tier? I used brand such as sunoco and gulf and was always under the impression they were top tier. However, they aren't listed on the site but it list brand I never even heard of, probably because many of these aren't located in the northeast US.

Perhaps your Gulf has chosen not to become Top Tier.

True, just because a gasoline isn't top tier doesn't mean it's bad, but Top Tier is a pretty good indicator of detergency performance - which is really most important for those keeping their vehicles long-term. If you're trading the car in at the three year mark, you probably won't have enough time for any significant deposits to accumulate.

Just got an email from Consumr Reports re: AAA testing. Bottom line: it's worth the money.http://www.consumerreports.org/car-m...-extra-price/?
Interstingly, about 30 minutes ago I was talking with a guy re: gas and he related an intersting story. He usually purchases regular gas from a local independent station, but a week or so ago bought some from the local BP station. His truck ran better on the BP gas.
What makes it intersting is that the two stations are owned by the same person. I have talked with him and the BP gas comes from the tank farm after BP requirements (additives) are met. He didn't say, but I assume the other gas comes from same tank farm, but with no or lesser additives.
