What is TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline?



TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is a new class of gasoline with enhanced detergency. It meets new, voluntary deposit control standards developed by



six automotive companies that exceed the detergent requirements imposed by the EPA.



Where Can TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline Be Purchased?



The TOP TIER program began on May 3, 2004 and many fuel marketers have joined the program and have introduced TOP TIER Detergent



Gasoline. This is a voluntary program and not all fuel marketers will offer this product. Once fuel marketers make public announcements, they will



appear on a list of brands that meet the TOP TIER standards.

Who developed TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standards?



TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standards were developed by six automotive companies: Audi, BMW, General Motors, Honda, Toyota and



Volkswagen.



Why was TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline developed?



TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline was developed to increase the level of detergent additive in gasoline. The EPA requires that all gasoline sold in the



U.S. contain a detergent additive. However, the requirement is minimal and in many cases, is not sufficient to keep engines clean. In order to meet



TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standards, a higher level of detergent is needed than what is required by the EPA. Also, TOP TIER was developed



to give fuel marketers the opportunity to differentiate their product.



Why did the six automotive companies join together to develop TOP TIER?

All six corporations recognized the benefits to both the vehicle and the consumer. Also, joining together emphasized that low detergency is an issue



of concern to several automotive companies.



What are the benefits of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline?



TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline will help keep engines cleaner than gasoline containing the "Lowest Additive Concentration" set by the EPA. Clean



engines help provide optimal fuel economy and performance and reduced emissions. Also, use of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline will help reduce



deposit related concerns.
