BP gasoline with invigorate

[SC Maintenance]

I don’t doubt that. But I’m just saying that the requirement for there to be ethanol isn’t for the consumer, but to be a control for the test fuel of the additive to see if it meets the deposit control requirement.

Ahh, OK that makes a lot more sense and is helpful. Thank you.

So we all get to use corn liquor in the name of good testing. I am liking BP more and more actually.

I am curious about the basis for this claim. Not doubting you personally; just want to understand the data which would back this up.
Do you have a link to testing validations or something similar?

I believe they (BP, etc) used to be TT certified, and were dropped off the list a few years ago.
One of two possibilities the way I see it:
- they want to cheapen the gas and not be held to the TT standard
- they provide a decent quality gas, but don't see the ROI from the costs of TT certification manifesting into actual market share increases

As of May 1st 2026 BP is now certified and on the Top Tier list.

BP Invigorate is solid and remains my backup choice if no Exxon, Shell, Chevron available. I basically place them on par with Citgo TriClean

As of May 1st 2026 BP is now certified and on the Top Tier list.

Top Tier+, if we can believe the stickers on the pumps. Every sticker at every BP I go to, 95% of the BP in the Minneapolis and suburbs are all 93 octane and all have the Top Tier+ sticker on them. Shell and Exxon Mobil are spotty, and have 91 and 92 octane 80% of the time here. BP has the market cornered in 93 octane.

This isn't the video I saw but you were right about Shell and BP premium and I was right about Exxon regular according to this video.
I use only regular and a lot of Sunoco, Valero and Shell because they are convenient but if I have a choice I try to use Exxon.

Love to see the same test with Phillips 66
