Kwik Trip gas is not Top Tier for the time being due shortages of the additives, which I've read about on here. What should I be using as a supplement in my gas until TT is available again? Techron? How often?
Thanks!

Kwik Trip is 99% of the gas stations here. Not off brand by any means. Normally top tier, but not right now. I'm just looking for what I should do while there's a shortage and can't run TT gas like normal. It's either Kwik Trip or BP, and BP isn't even advertised as top tier.Never understood the logic. Go to an off-brand station to save 10 cents a gallon, then end up buying an additive for 20 cents a gallon.
They buy their gas from any local refinery in the area and add their own additives. There are BP and Mobil stations in this area, but there are no BP or Mobil refineries.Do they have their own refineries? Name brands usually do.
No, I don't expect them to be the same batch to batch. I expect TT to have more detergent than the EPA minimum and be better for the engine though.In the grand scheme of thing, it probably will not make a difference.
So, the lifetime of your vehicle will reduce by 0.00001%.
Looking at the gas quality viewpoint, there should be a minimum standard spec to be followed.
They are not even exactly the same from batch to batch.
Do you believe that the gasoline have exactly the same every time?
You are dreaming of a veeeeeerrrrrrry idealistic scenario.
Seems BP has dropped out of TT program relatively recently. I read a comment on another forum that says if they dropped out it's not because of fee to stay in but because they don't want to put in the additives, because of their cost. Comment said fee to stay in TT really a pittance. That said, can't say if any of that is factual. BP has been my go to because of TT combined with grocery store fuel points which monthly has been knocking 30-40 cents off a gallon for me, with a couple vehicles....... Kwik Trip or BP, and BP isn't even advertised as top tier.

Yep. I know someone that hauls out of there daily. They put in the code for what they are hauling and it mixes everything as the tanker is filled.The major refinery here is Flint Hills Resources. The next one is a Marathon refinery, but Marathon is not a big gas name in this market - they primarily sell to Speedway. The next major suppliers are the Marathon Refinery in Mandan ND, and BP in Whiting Indiana via its own pipeline. The other source was Husky (Formerly Calumet) in Superior WI before it blew up a few years ago - also not affiliated with any major gas retailer in the area.
