I had a vague ideo of what a top tier gasoline was, but came across a couple of useful articles that gave me a better explanation.
This first article is a general discussion of top tier gasolines and their importance.



This second article talks specifically about Ford ecoboost engines with respect to top tier gasolines.



Clearly it is important to not only choose a gasoline with adequate octane, but also with adequate additives necessary for the best longeviity of our Bronco ecoboost engines.
It appears that not all brands have the top tier additives in all octane grades so choose wisely.

These articles specifically discuss gasoline brands that meet/exceed, or do not meet top tier certification.
Hope this helps you choose the right gasoline for your Bronco.

Luckily fuel and oil are the two least controversial topics for vehicle enthusiasts, so I expect these videos to be widely accepted as absolute fact by everyone and this will be a short, cohesive thread with a happy ending.
I suspect your sarcasm will be thoroughly addressed.
If nothing else, maybe others will at least see the value of a "good" gasoline for their modern turbocharged engines, whichever one you choose.
I did not offer an opinion on which gasoline or octane to choose, but will be following this thread to hear others opinions.

Think I'll go see if I can think of anotther non-controversial thread to start.

Im not sure he was actually being sarcastic...
I kinda thought this was indeed common knowledge and if you have a vehicle you care about just use the top shelf stuff.
Thats my philosophy - Good Oil, Good Fuel, Good Tires, and regular maintenance - Happy Vehicle.

Exactly.

Not everyone knows what Top-Tier gasoline is.
The designation is more than merely marketing fluff.

Top-Tier is an auto industry-certified additive package developed and supported by Ford, GM, Fiat/Chrysler, Honda/Accura, Toyota, BMW, VW, Mercedes, Volvo and Audi.

I think of it as a minimum standard for “good gas.“

It’s the varying opinions on windshield washer fluid that cause the hysterics.

I use 93 stock with an intake, muffler, and FMIC. I'll use a 91oct tune when I actually get one so I don't have to worry about west coast goat piss gas
