A List Of The Best Brands Of Gasoline For The Environment
From toptiergas.com:
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is the premier standard for gasoline performance. Six of the world's top automakers, BMW, General Motors, Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and Audi recognize that the current EPA minimum detergent requirements do not go far enough to ensure optimal engine performance.
Since the minimum additive performance standards were first established by EPA in 1995, most gasoline marketers have actually reduced the concentration level of detergent additive in their gasoline by up to 50%. As a result, the ability of a vehicle to maintain stringent Tier 2 emission standards have been hampered, leading to engine deposits which can have a big impact on in-use emissions and driver satisfaction.
These are the retailers that meet the Top Tier standards:
- QuikTrip
- Chevron
- Conoco
- Phillips
- 76
- Shell
- Entec Stations
- MFA Oil Company
- Kwik Trip/Kwik Star
- The Somerset Refinery, Inc.
- Chevron-Canada
- Aloha Petroleum
- Jiffy Mart
- Mahalo
- Tri-Par Oil Company
- Mileage Stations
- Turkey Hill Minit Markets
Buying your gas from Hugo Chavez' Citgo? You're hurting the environment. And hey BP, with all your advertising how come you aren't on this list?
Hmmm...none of these brands are near our house. For the sake of the environment, I should move near an Aloha Petroleum or Mahalo station!
After this last Chicago winter, I could probably talk my wife into it.
