    State Farm vs National General auto insurance rates in GA

    Sorry, there is nothing exceptional about State Farm ( and I say that after being a customer of theirs for 16 years.) I dumped them 32 years ago and life has been just fine. The NG quote has shown you that insurance can be had for less. Find a good independent agent (or agent), or an insurance...

    Hyundai oem vs Fram

    On a Hyundai/Kia product, I not only would use the H/K filter, I would document the heck out of doing so. Same with everything involved in the OC process.

    John Deere Tractor opinions

    That is exactly what a lawn tractor is, a driveable lawnmower.

    John Deere Tractor opinions

    That's a lawn tractor not a garden tractor. Other than some light to perhaps moderate mowing, that's about the range of that tractor. I certainly wouldn't pull much weight with it. The transmission isn't that robust.

    Frustrating Dealer Experience

    Most definitely, use a Mopar spec oil under warranty. Never give them an opening to deny a claim.

    More octane choices. Why?

    I can't speak for your situation there. However, around here 90 is Recreational Fuel (Alcohol free.)

    felt washers for batteries

    I have used them for years as it seemed when I didn't, I had a mess to clean up. I probably have a lifetime supply of them, as I stocked up on them when Harbor Freight was clearing them out for a quarter a package. Also, got my free magnetic bowl with a coupon, as well.

    Printer?

    While I don't have a specific recommendation, I'd advise staying away from HP. I just threw a 6 month old HP in the trash a couple of weeks ago. It would not print, even with a full color cartridge and a black that was one bar down on the monitor. After five hours going through the book and...

    Which one of these TOP TIER gasolines would you prefer if

    Of the three options listed, Sunoco. That's the only one that is available in about a 35 mile radius.

    Are there any studies or data to suggest one Top Tier fuel is better than another?

    My point is that Top Tier has established a standard. Simply, those that submit for evaluation meet the standard or they don't. Of course if one wishes to exceed the standard, it is their option to do so. However, TT does not rank beyond the standard to determine who has the "Sudziest" fuel of...

    Loves and Flying J are not Top Tier

    That's accurate. They may go beyond the minimum additive package. However, they are not a Top Tier provider because they did not pay the money and go through the gyrations to make the list. Thus, they are not on the Top Tier list.

    Are there any studies or data to suggest one Top Tier fuel is better than another?

    I know what they do at Costco. I'm a member and I have watched them do it. Since not every vendor has the equipment to do it on site, they do it at the depot.

    Are there any studies or data to suggest one Top Tier fuel is better than another?

    I'm sure that there are a # of other stations that utilize best practices, without being a member of "The Club." BP is one of the most vocal. They have stated that they meet the standard. They have stated that they withdrew from TT because of the cost. They found the external validation to be...

    Are there any studies or data to suggest one Top Tier fuel is better than another?

    They may get the base fuel from Shell/Exxon, but the detergent package for each of those vendors are added at the terminal. The Kroger fuel will get a generic detergent package , designed to meet government standards. Doesn't necessarily mean it is a bad fuel, but why would Shell/Exxon (or any...

    Are there any studies or data to suggest one Top Tier fuel is better than another?

    It absolutely is true. Where does TT rank any provider in regard to % of detergents? TT sets a base for a detergent package. They test and provide a roster for those that meet the mark. Some providers may go beyond that minimum, probably for marketing purposes. However, they simply meet the TT...

    Are there any studies or data to suggest one Top Tier fuel is better than another?

    It is. If you go to the site and read about Top Tier, you understand that it is a standard for fuel. Companies pay to belong and go through the process. It's not a ranked roster. Either they meet the mark or they don't.

    Are there any studies or data to suggest one Top Tier fuel is better than another?

    It is a standard. If a fuel provider is blessed by the Top Tier Overlords. they are good to go. The least expensive TT station/vendor met the same standard as the most overpriced TT station/vendor. Such drama.
