>> I know someone who avoids their local petrol station that is 10p/litre cheaper than most others nearby (within a mile or so) as they think the cheaper fuel must be lower quality
- "Top Tier gas contains higher detergent levels to prevent engine carbon"
- "Major brands use specific additives that enhance performance, while "no-name" or discount stations might only meet the minimum EPA-required detergent levels"
- "The condition of a station's underground storage tanks affects quality"
- "For the best engine performance and longevity, choosing Top Tier-certified gasoline is generally recommended."
These things are not true in the UK - all fuel is held to the same high standard, though premium variants are available too.
