Yeah, I did find the term a little goofy, especially because (to me) it implies 
a higher quality product, which, if you want to split hairs, it's not.

As I understand it, top tier fuels meet all of the required ASTME fuel 
standards that everyone else has to meet, but they include additives that other 
suppliers do not put in their fuels.

So, that being the case, the quality of the gas is the same as the no-name 
quickie mart fuel, but it has a few pennies worth of additives per gallon.

 I'll see if the trend continues with the next fillup of top tier fuel.
 
 
 I'm curious too.  I find this whole top tier gas thing to be a good idea,
 but could they have picked a name that sounded a  little less like a
 marketing gimmick from the 1950s?

You misunderstand (or I do maybe) I'm saying that we the people become the 
wolves and the elected officials become our sheep to do our bidding, and the 
current batch have failed catastrophically. They fail to do our bidding and 
they get to do the hemp fandango.

But these are the checks and balances our Founding Fathers knew would be needed 
to keep the crooks from being able to run rough shod over the populace.  By 
stopping the whole mess, we can see just how worthless most of the junk we pay 
taxes on are.  We can live quite well by not surrendering to the wolves we 
elect or the minions they control.

 That'd teach 'em all how to compromise.
 
 This is not an Obama problem or a democrat or republican problem this is a

 Both sides have stirred us to fight each other.

The problem is that theres no way to selectively pay stuff and who would decide 
what to pay anyway?

Sure if this were your home you could decide not to pay social security which 
would then in theory keep us from defaulting but:

A. Our government income is variable to a huge degree
and more importantly
B. We put out something like 80 MILLION checks a month. Its not like somebody 
can sit down and redirect them, the scale is just too large.

Looks like congress is going to kick the can a little more. We need real reform 
not just can kicking...
