George, what it is that you are calling "top tier?" Premium? A "better" brand of standard gasoline? Or is it just another buzz word?
First thing that I think of is octane. Buying more octane than your engine requires is simply a waste of money. Too much high octane fuel can actually damage your engine over the long term.
Octane refers mostly to the rate of combustion of a fuel. Also refers to Reid Vapor pressure. The higher the octane, the slower it burns in the engine and the lower the vapor pressure as I understand it. Using high octane in a low compression engine should lead to increased HC emissions I would think. As far as differences in brand, there aren't as much as you think. I know a couple of guys that deliver gasoline in this area. They have told me many times that it all comes out of the same pipe. Additives are added at the terminal after the tanker is loaded according to where it is delivering.
As I see it, there is no such thing as "top tier" fuel. It all comes out of the same pipe!
