Top Tier Gas

Went to a wine & cheese deal at Fort Worth Toyota tonight. It was a thanks for buying a Toyota and a deal about the service department. Which was cool they had one of everything they sell in the service department and they had techs standing by to answer any and all questions you may have, which was a nice touch!

It was pretty cool and we cleaned up on the free food and door prizes!

One thing I learned was Toyota highly recommends using only Top Tier Gas.

More Stuff on Top Tier Gasoline is here!

The selection of gas stations near my house is poor. The two proven top-tier brands, Texaco and Shell, are five and six miles away, respectively. There is a Valero 2.5 miles away, but my car runs like crap on Valero 93 ocatane. How is your experience with Valero? Does it feel like good, solid 93? How about Quick Trip? Do you guys like that brand of gas?

You know our cruel overlords don't charge extra if you want to start a new post rather than digging up a 3756 day (10 years, 3 months, 2 weeks) old post. ;-)

Bless your heart. Chances are that if I did start a new thread, some wiseacre would admonish me for not searching. I can hear it now... "There is already a thread on top-tier gas. Search first n00b!".

So, any input on Valero and / or QT?

My 2006 NC runs fine on Valero 93 octane. Just ignore POS Racing, he is just a grumpy old man! :)

I don't like Valero. Never had bad gas from them, but the ones in Denton are ratty. I use QT with good results.

Well played! But a ten year old post? Really??

Traffic here at MME is dismal enough a new post couldn't hurt! ;-)

I run whatever the gas-buddy app says is cheapest near me which is almost always Kroger.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Valero - my issue with them may be isolated to the location on Eldorado at 75. I'll give them another shot.

I'll try Quick Trip the next time the opportunity presents itself.

Thanks! I learn quick!

I don't see the issue. Bump an old thread (and stay on topic) or start a new one, each is bringing the same value outside of forum metrics, and this board doesn't appear to be hung up on number of threads / posts / members.

I'll give Kroger a shot. I work from home, which combined with the decent mileage I get from the Miata means it will be a while until I can report back with my findings on Valero, QT and Kroger. And that's if I don't see a Chevron / Exxon / Shell etc. somewhere along the way.

Thanks again everyone.

How about you post in my other thread asking for a recommendation for a detailer in DFW? That one needs resuscitation.

My $.02--
If I'm not at a QT, I don't fill up.
QT 93 is GREAT in new performance-driven street cars, old-school carbureted, and loaded-down family SUV.

Until a few years ago, 7-11 sold 93 octane CITGO gas from Venezuela. Man, that stuff was good juice! Exhaust stunk to high heavens, but I loved the e n d l e s s burnouts...Ah, the memories...
I'm told by some chemists in Houston that ordinary 93-octane flows through the pipes to local depots where individual companies "water it down" with modifiers, creating their versions of 93, 89, and 87. Locally, QT refines the 93 to make it better or gooder than "standard". Also, for you conspiracy theorists, this one-basic-gas-going-everywhere is how the government controls the Winter and Summer Federal fuel blends. I'll bet your car stuttered after a fill-up between April 30 and May 3, the Feds switched it over. Your car's computer adapted to it, and the Cobra 427 tour in central Texas got stranded when cars wouldn't run. Had to drain their tanks and get different gas from elsewhere...true story.

Anyway, cheap-ass Racetrack gas so screwed up the top end of my 289 hi-po ('67 Shelby) that I now give every Racetrack station "the finger" (not kidding).

Prof, thanks so much for the detailed response. Now I am dying to try QT! Interestingly, our real estate agent is a huge fan of QT (not for the fuel. she loves the store / convenience). We gave her a QT gift card.
