Report no TOP TIER™ Logo at Station

[jtwrace]

I filled up today at a Sunoco station (also verified on the Top Tier list). While the pump was filling very slowly, I was looking at the pumps and noticed there were no “Top Tier” stickers displayed. I didn’t realize this was something that could be reported until I got home and, out of curiosity, found the link circled in red.

It's like the IRS for gasoline.

Interesting

Yeah, I have a Sunoco by me that doesn’t have any stickers either.

Stopped at a Shell station off I-70 in New Florence, MO.
Quickly looked at three different pumps with no stickers.

Why would they not have them? It's a selling point. Apathy.

Only to a minority of people. The vast majority of people put price/gallon and location as priorities.

It makes me wonder if it's just a great cash grab that isn't really enforced as the violations far outweigh the resource to enforce the sponsors of TT.

Who cares about Top Tier? I care about price. The next town over from me has gas for 20 cents a gallon cheaper than my town. I drive the extra ten miles for the discount.

Yesterday it was 10c/L cheaper in a neighbouring city, @Arc

No stickers could mean they are or have pulled their TT subscription or they are buying their gas from another refinery and were smart enough to pull the stickers.

I remember during covid the Conoco stations around me had signs covering the top tier stickers saying due circumstance they were no longer suppling Top Tier. Some Conoco stations close to me are displaying it others aren't..

if a station is displaying a large sign like Conoco or Cenex etc do they have a choice to not sell that brands fuel?

A lot of people still care about Top Tier and not just on this forum, in the real world.

I have noticed some stations such as circle k advertising that their fuel contains added cleaning elements while not being affiliated with top tier certification. Not just circle k but other brands as well.

BP is a big one who adds more and feels no need to pay TT subscription of use payments. Whether it is as good, who knows.

It seems like a half-baked loaf from many angles.
1) How often was the additive package advertised to any detail throughout your driving life? Not too often.
2) Even the established brands of good fuel (Conoco-Phillips, Sunoco, Shell, Amoco/BP) DON'T display a TT sticker....EVER.
3) Ever notice how sloppily the TT stickers are applied? They're always crooked. Whether you know it or not, logo art involves placement and borders, not just the logo itself.
4) Am I the only one who thinks the TT logo is very badly designed? I really think the logo stinks.
5) Has it occurred to anyone that more prominent TT stickering or a swinging sign might just scare price-shopping fuel buyers away?

The link between a product of improved quality and notification to the consumer isn't there.

Next time you're gassing up, ask some frazzed momma if she knows about fuel additives.

It may have changed, but in the past, the TT organization claimed that if the station is on their "list", they MUST sell Top Tier gasoline. My question, "or what?". There's no enforcement.

5) Has it occurred to anyone that more prominent TT stickering or a swinging sign might just scare price-shopping fuel buyers away?

90+ % of people don't care or more accurately, know what it means, so in the end, it means nothing. It's like advertising beer at state minimum prices (this might just be an Ohio thing) but I'm not buying beer. I don't care.

Next time you're gassing up, ask some frazzed momma if she knows about fuel additives.

Please don't encourage them. Remember, there are folks here who creepily hang out in the oil aisle at Walmart and "educate" people on which oil they should buy for their car and why they need it. They'll probably offer to change their oil every 3000 miles too !

I only siphon gas from cars that have a TopTier sticker inside the gas filler door.
