top tier gasoline!

just an observation...

although these lists differ, it means we have no top tier gasoline in my area! we have Citgo, Sunoco and Hess for the big names....guess it's time for Techron Concentrate and Lucas UCL

Dude, there's a Lukoil in Canjo. Betty Beaver's just off the Thruway exit.

Hess gas ain't bad; I used to buy Cam2 from them. Didn't there used to be a Sunoco in Fulton County somewhere?

I get Sunoco 95% of the time, but they aren't listed, and they don't claim on their site, to be a top tier gas....who knows, does it REALLY make a difference?

What gas does Lukoil carry?

Lukoil sells Lukoil.

Top tier may be all well and good, but NY state standards throw that all out the window.

I have to run down there anyway, stop at TA and see what they have for Lucas, Aero Kroil, etc....


__________________________________________
so, my **** retentive OCD-havin' self has to email about top tier gas, here's Exxon/Mobil's response:

Your email was sent to me for response.

ExxonMobil fuels contain additive levels equal to or higher than required

by the

Top Tier program. While ExxonMobil would expect to receive Top Tier

certification

if it applied for the certification, as a practice, we do not comment on

future business

decisions. We are concerned about the unilateral approach of the program

sponsors,

and do not believe that the program is in the best interest of the motoring

public.

ExxonMobil is concerned that the Top Tier program may actually increase

customer

confusion regarding product quality.

Thank you for contacting ExxonMobil.

Julia Cool

Exxon Mobil Corporation

Lukoil is a Russian oil company that's just started making inroads into our market. They do diesel okay, but their gasoline could be better. The standard grades plus 100 and 108 for aviation.

What did you want me to say? Toothpaste? Like any other gasoline distributor, they sell gasoline, diesel and kero; just not everywhere. Coastal sells gas and motor oil, but then Gulf doesn't. They do lubricants but I haven't seen any Lukoil bottles on the lube rack at Autozone.

http://www.lukoilamericas.com/

Says they own "ConocoPhillips premium assets in the states of New Jersey and Pennsylvania (Mobil brand)" and Getty.

This says they're top tier: http://www.lukoilamericas.com/rebranding.htm

Again, NY requires specific levels of MBTE in all gasoline sold in this state, so all that goes right out the window.
