Maybe it's just wishful thinking but I feel like using TT gas has made a noticeable difference in avoiding gunked up intakes and O2 sensors. I used to chase the cheapest gas but switched long ago to going TT when possible. I had some cars back then that needed regular throttle body cleaning. After I went TT the cleaning was no longer needed. Coincidence?
Yeah, Don't clean your toilet... ever! If you want a clean seat or clean water splashing up on you... too bad...or as you basically put it... "quit complaining".
The point is that a band across a toilet seat doesn't make it clean, or it doesn't make it dirty. It is what it is.
The fuel coming out of a pump either meets the standards of the TT Gods or it doesn't. A sticker on the pump is merely a garnish.
