Not all fuels are created equal
Do fuel additives really work? Why should you care about fuel quality. All these answers and more can be found in AAA’s 2016 fuel quality report. As engines get more efficient and complicated as they race for fuel efficiency and emission reductions, fuels have not always matched pace.
“AAA was surprised to learn the extent to which detergent additives impact gasoline quality,” revealed John Nielsen, AAA’s managing director of Automotive Engineering and Repair. “As advertised, tested TOP TIER gasolines kept engines remarkably cleaner than other fuels we tested.”
Despite the fact that two-thirds of U.S. drivers believe there is a difference in quality of gasoline sold by different gas stations, a AAA survey reveals that Americans value convenience and price over quality when it comes to selecting a gas station.
Three-quarters of U.S. drivers choose a gas station based on location (75 percent) or price (73 percent).
Nearly one-third (29 percent) of U.S drivers choose a gas station based on a rewards program.
Only 12 percent of U.S. drivers select a gas station based on whether the gasoline contains an enhanced detergent package.
Nearly half (47 percent) of U.S. drivers do not regularly buy gasoline that contains an enhanced detergent additive.
Men (44 percent) are more likely than women (26 percent) to regularly buy a gasoline that contains an enhanced detergent package, as are baby boomers (41 percent) compared to millennials (32 percent).
Adding Additech to your fuel, regardless of where you purchase your gasoline, lets you exceed Top Tier detergent fuels performance and strength by up to THREE TIMES.
