I always fill up w/ either Shell or Esso. A few months ago I tried gas at a Husky that was 9 cents cheaper/liter and I got about 100km less on my tank under comparable driving. Never again.

Apparently up here Esso and Shell are top tier gas

My main filling stations are:

Shell - Winston/Argentia
7 Eleven - Georgetown
Husky - 401 near London

Along with various Pioneer, Esso, Costco and many others, I've not experienced any real noticeable difference in mpg. I do stay away from non-branded stations unless absolutely necessary.

I used to get the same mileage on Husky 87 as any other 87 octane gas when I still had my Echo, and I get the same mileage on Husky 91 as I do on any other 91 or 94 octane gas on my current car. Even the 91 from the truck stop Husky by 401/Dixie.

Here in Montreal i see no signs on gas stations proclaiming they provide this top tier gasoline.Odd that this top tier gasoline being highly touted as superior to ordinary gasoline that they wouldnt advertise the fact that they are a designated provider of this super deluxe top tier gasoline.

I have no brand loyalty and just fill my car with gas at whatever gas station is convenient when i need gas.

I hit the same SHELL filling station every Friday after work for my weekly fill-up (6 gallons per week). I went ahead and obtained a SHELL Gas Card about the same time that I bought my Yari in 2015, since it is the only station that I ever go to any more (I'm a creature of habit/routine in most things), and makes budgeting/paying my gas expenses more convenient each month.

Deathegg · 07-07-2016, 07:47 PM

For me, it's not the mpg issue. It's a well-known issue on Yari that if you use a lower-tier gas (no name gas, or some cheap brand), there won't be enough cleaning additives in the fuel to keep the sender clean, and you'll end up with a gas gauge that doesn't function properly. I use either Chevron or Shell, and if I HAVE to use a lower gas, I make sure I top up with good gas after.

bronsin · 07-07-2016, 09:21 PM

Definitely you don't want cheap gas in your car or there will be problems!

I'm running She'll now. Wife uses Valero.

Hershey · 07-07-2016, 11:10 PM

We too use VALERO , the 91 w/o E . The 89 is E5 and the 87 E10 . The 91 is at a reasonable price for now . Not many non E or Top Tier or both for carriers in the region .

iA_b4_07HB · 09-21-2017, 09:09 PM

I didn't know no real gas (not E5 or E10 ethanol blend) was available in California. How do I confirm and who else is selling non-Ethanol gas?

USA/Canada 2007 Yaris owners manual: "Fuel Type: UNLEADED gasoline, Octane Rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher."
Pump buttons are 87, 89 and 93. Unlabeled.
Octane rating numbers--which system on USA pump buttons?

"Top tier" does not appear in manual.
Is it thread drift or is their any connection...does top tier have anything to do with octane rating?

Hershey · 07-07-2016, 11:12 PM

The TOP TIER report is originally from A.A.A. and more detailed . May want to take a look at it . http://newsroom.aaa.com/2016/07/aaa-...created-equal/

BLKHILLSGUY · 07-08-2016, 02:55 AM

I'm disappointed to see Sam's Club gas isn't listed as top tier. However, Costco is on its way in our area. Can't happen soon enough. Not a Walmart fan.

Here's the original 34 page results of TOP TIER gas from A.A.A. https://s3.amazonaws.com/association...rt-FINAL-1.pdf .

Been doing Costco for the most part lately.

Ranger SVO · 07-22-2016, 02:44 PM

A list of top tier retailers can be found here

http://www.toptiergas.com/retailers/

I only use top tier fuels in my vehicles, in fact, my 2013 Hyundai Sonata actually specifies that top tier fuel should be used (its in the owners manual).

The owner's manual for the 11 Fit we have also states the use of Top Tier. Try to get Valero thats TT gas.

One of the numerous pitfalls of buying a used vehicle, without a very in-depth inspection of the subsystems, is that you usually don't know what type of gas the previous owner(s) might have used.
