I would imagine this top tier gasoline thing was and is a device created by some industry group to gain loyalty to some device regulated or not. A device required or not.
Remember techrlolene and all the others that have come and gone?
Shell had some story like that when I was a kid and when I stole gas from moms car she always filled with shell the briggs motor pistone head valves looked like white charcoal when I tore it down.
I think if you get to the truth there are mandated requirements for US EPA regulated motor vehicles that mandates some level of detergency. Each place I go to has some BS name for their compliance to some standard as cleaner burns cleaner and cleans things. Hey guess what the addition of methanol is probably corrosive enough to meet some criteria. Marketing ploys are all over the pump to insight some idea that more is better and "buy me"
It's been forever since I have considered cleaning the injectors valves or the like. I guess if ypu get into jiffylube they offer those services with toulene benzene and the like. There was a time the smudge on the throttle body was the devil of everything.
Things have evolved and cars are required to run 100 thousand miles flawlessly without emission related need PERIOD
for many that goes on with a set of plugs at 100k and maybe an air filter or two on to and over 200k.
Whay is it that you have that is so finicky that it requires some grade of fuel so high grade?
Doing searches to top tier information doesn't really bring much new or pertinent. Perhapas a passing marketing blitz.
Hokus pokus
