There are a lot of gas stations out there, some drenched in bright light and others dim and a little scuzzy. Do they all pump the same gasoline from their tanks into yours? No, explains Zachary J. Santner, technical specialist at Sunoco Race Fuels.
I use a different rating system. I understand that the "gas station" deinition has changed but I like to buy gas from a station that also has a "service portion" of their business and is not just selling "Big Gulp Drinks" and candy bars.
I also realize that service stations have different hours and are generally in small towns and not at interstate exits. It is a dilema but I am tryinng to drive more off the interstate system to actually see the country and I am old.
I believe we have one full-service station here in town. They don’t sell much gas these days as the pump is now located out back. The owners are the ones working on the cars, though, and our Civic Si was there for an oil change yesterday.
In reply to The Staff of Motorsport Marketing :
Does Top Tier gas have less relative cleaning value in direct injected engines?
In reply to DonTriumph :
Even on a direct injected engine, a Top Tier fuel will still help clean the injectors, piston tops and fuel pumps but, yeah, it’s not going to reach the backs of the valves.
Some related talk on the Grassroots Motorsports site regarding that matter: How to clean intake deposits in direct-injection engines.
