Sorry if this has been discussed before, I tried looking but didn't find much information...
Can the use of Top Tier gas all the time cause any kind of build-up of detergents? I use Costco gas as its on my way home from work, its cheaper than everywhere else, and its top-tier rated. They actually say they have something like 5x more detergents than Top-Tier requires. Is there any reason not to run this gas all the time? I found a couple people here and there online saying that you'd end up with deposits or detergent build up, and that you should alternate every so many tanks with something with less detergents. I have no idea the validity of this claim, so I'm checking with everyone here.
I remember seeing the AAA study showing that top-tier can actually clean injectors/valves/pistons. But that is assuming it needs cleaning, what about a brand new car? I'm not super concerned its going to blow my car up or anything, but thought the topic was interesting.
