Walmart Neighborhood Store gas. Never seen a Top Tier sticker near their pumps.

The whole point of Top Tier is to convince you that no-name brands are just as good as the top names such as BP. Then why would BP want to pay Top Tier for the privilege of being lumped in with the no-name brands? Rode 85,000 miles in 5 years mostly 100-200 mile days round trip from home and...

Which is the Top Tier hook. "Go to automobile manufacturer and ask for a free recommendation for your branding in owner's manuals in exchange for FUDing your customers into buying a product which will lessen warranty claims on products you have failed to design to operate their full life with...

As for me, I have seen no need for Top Tier in my past 50 years of driving. No injector issues. No deposits in combustion chambers. Once Upon A Time I found a list of approved EPA approved additives and TT's mix ratios vs the EPA mix ratio. If one could find that data once again then one could...

This technique depends heavily upon the friction in your bearings. I think I'd contact Marc Parnes and ask if he has a solution for your MG wheels. Am guessing with the dozens of adapters he has for motorcycles, and the generic two-cone solution, than something can be found. Good chance you are...

My Model Y Long Range AWD is said to be 4400 pounds. Lots of ICE SUVs are much heavier.

I only got 43,000 miles from the OE Michelins on my 2013 Model S then 30,000 more before I gave the car to my sister, who then mounted winter tires and put my old tires on the shelf in her garage for this coming spring!

is the nut on top of the rotor assembly which is the only thing between you and Jesus.

Not even that. TT permits the same base SAE/ASTM gasoline as anyone else uses, stipulates a minimum of 8% motor grade ethanol, and then lists TT minimums of all the approved EPA detergent packages. So basically all one has to do is use the TT specified quantity of detergent. And pay TT for the...

Yes, if it shuts off from overpressure as might happen if coils are frozen. Am not sure the 5 minute applies to overcurrent on the compressor.

I don't think the fan would start if bad capacitor.

I find most automotive leather is finished to resemble vinyl. Agree, leather like a ball glove or a saddle would be nice. Like a Ford King Ranch. Otherwise I rather like the fake leather Tesla uses. The MBTEX in my 2009 too closely resembled leather trying to be vinyl.

Yes roads are bad, haven't you seen all the potholes?

No. That one asks such a question shouts ignorance as to how an EV is operated. The Gas Station Fallacy, "It is an automobile and we have always fueled automobiles at gas stations therefore gas stations must have EV chargers." The correct place for most EV charging is at home at night. Charging...

The "fake leather" is much much nicer than vinyl or leather.

Does not apply in Florida. The EPA has a nationwide mandate for 1 gallon of ethanol to be used for every 9 gallons of gasoline. One can sell E0 if one makes up for it selling E85. "fuel matching the market conditions of fuel ethanol content" is 10% nationwide, hence Top Tier's specification of...

Great! Do it! But don't bail out GM or Chrysler again. However, if Tesla sells 400,000 vehicles this quarter and 399,999 the first quarter without a Federal tax credit then you and the media will cry, "sagging sales when Federal 'subsidy' ended!" The Federal tax credit is conditional upon...

I didn't buy my Model S in 2013 to be green. When I replaced it with a Model Y in 2023 I didn't do so to be green. Both times purchased because Tesla was the most interesting vehicle on the market. 3¢/mile for fuel doesn't lessen my interest.

Golly, I must be wrong because your Top Tier stations and ability to measure ethanol content are beyond reproach! Or you could read this document. https://www.toptiergas.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/TOP-TIER-Approved-Gasoline_Deposit-Control-Performance-Standard_Rev-G.pdf Have to go all the...
