Sunoco Now Offering Top Tier Gasoline at All Locations

Jessica Carroll — Mon, 03 Apr 2017 16:21:28 +0000

Ultratech, now available at all Sunoco stations, meets all of the requirements of Top Tier Gasoline.

Sunoco has a legacy of working hard to provide quality gasoline. Read 8 Reason to Fuel with Sunoco to learn about our commitment to high standards. Now Sunoco is stepping it up a notch with top tier fuel nationwide.

McIntosh Energy manages 4 Sunoco stations throughout the Fort Wayne area. Find a station here.

Top Tier Gasoline Standards

Top Tier is more than a set of arbitrary standards we claim to meet.

Premiere Gasoline

Top Tier Gasoline is premiere quality gasoline. BMW, General Motors, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and Audi were all involved in setting the bar. These fuel standards ensure that gasoline maintains level of detergent additives that result in a certain level of engine cleanliness and performance that go above and beyond the requirements set by EPA (further explanation here).

Fuel Quality Makes a Difference

Some believe that labeling gasoline “Top Tier” is just a way for fuel distributors to make more money. This is not the case. In fact ConsumerReports.com agrees that Top Tier makes a difference. Read some of their findings from their website:

Gas Test Findings

For its test, the lab operated an engine continuously for 100 hours on a cycle to represent 4,000 real-miles of use. The engine was then disassembled, photographed, and its key components weighed and measured to determine the thickness of carbon deposits. Six fuels were used, randomly selected and split among three basic gasoline sources and three Top Tier.

The results showed that on average, Top Tier gasoline had 19 times fewer carbon deposits on injectors, intake valves, and in the combustion chamber when compared to regular gasoline.

AAA also found Top Tier gasoline can have a cleansing effect, reducing intake valve deposits by 45 to 72 percent when used over a 5,000-mile interval. Variation in the results is attributed to the detergents used by different brands.

Further, analyzing gas prices over a 12-month period found just a three cent price difference between non-Top Tier and Top Tier gasoline.

Bottom line: For the nominal investment, this study shows that motorists would benefit from using Top Tier gasoline as their primary fuel.

Is Top Tier Gasoline Really That Prestigious?

The short answer is “yes”. Top tier fuel goes well above and beyond the standards set by EPA. Combine that with the standards set by Sunoco, and you have one amazing brand of fuel.

“With the introduction of Sunoco Ultratech, customers will have the same detergent level as Sunoco NASCAR fuel, continuing our tradition of high quality products.” Mark Burford, senior director of marketing strategy and design at Sunoco LP

Isn’t it time that the Official Fuel of Nascar became the official fuel of your vehicle?

Raising Awareness About Fuel Tax

Fuel Tax Event

The Event

Have you heard of Housebill 1002? This bill would lead to automatic yearly tax hikes, New Indiana tolls, IN to be 5th highest in USA in excise gas taxes, and IN to be 2nd highest in USA in diesel excise gas taxes. Read more about the bill at enoughINtaxes.org.

Wednesday March 22nd we did an event at our Goshen Road location to raise awareness for gas taxes. The first 200 people to purchase regular gasoline at our Goshen Road location (starting at 10am) received tax free gas – or rather the taxes were paid for them!

Three ways you as an individual can say “No” to more fuel taxes:

1) Call your senator at 1 (844) 568-0010
There are only two simple steps for calling your senator. First tell them you want to “Stop the Gas Tax.” The second step is to provide your name and address. That’s it. They do the rest of the work for you.

2) Don’t like talking on the phone? You can always email. Visit http://cqrcengage.com/ipca/?0, fill out the quick form, and the email will be sent to you.

3) If texting is your thing, there’s an option for you too. Text ‘stopgastax’ to 41411.

Another Takes on the Tax Free Event

A Take from a Customer

We asked one of our customers Eric why he was at the event. His answer was simple. Shouldn’t we all have a simple answer to the proposed tax bill?
