I have always believed that all the "hoo-haa" about various brands of gas were "marketing."

Here's the difference between minimal standards and top tier..

Here are the technical details..

And here are the gasoline retailers who sell the good stuff..

To someone who trades their vehicle in for a new one every couple of years, what they put in their tank doesn't matter. If one plans to keep driving it until the "wheels fall off", it does.

EDIT: One last detail and I'll leave it at that. Modern engines that are well maintained can easily go more than 200,000 miles before any major repairs are needed. My Jeep, which I bought new, has 187,000 miles on the clock and the engine is still as tight as the day I bought it. It's had nothing but the best gas and oil and apparently it likes it.. :-)
