And detergent you can get at any time from TCW3.

Not ONLY, just MORE.

I don't know about other stations, but any Top Tier Gas station or BP will have high levels of detergents in all grades.

Yepp, BUT the 93 octanes of many brands have HIGHER amounts.

Then their is the flip side of having/needing to use Premium fuel. I got gas once at a Hellertown Lukeoil station here in PA. My car ran so bad,I had to add a bottle of Lucas fuel treatment just so it would run decent (BTW I think Lucas fuel treatment is under rated on here) Now this may be due to the Premium gas being old,due to a small station or something else I dont know.
