Top Tier gasoline?

Since recently buying a 2014 Scion xD with about 165k-miles for $5000 from Lakes Auto Sales and Detailing in Tilton, close to Home Depot, I have become something of a car guy or a car nut. This 4-cyl 5-speed Scion xD has a 125-hp engine similar to a Corolla engine and I must have got very LUCKY with this car because it's a real winner car with NO oil consuming engine like the Scion xB with a Camry engine. Sometimes, you just get l-u-c-k-y! ....

Anyway, Citgo vs Irving gasoline?

To my surprise Irving is not Top Tier rated, while Citgo is Top Tier rated which means that Citgo has better detergent and additives than Irving, or something.

And, I always thought that gas was gas, and only thing that matters is the price.

Another surprise is that Penguin Gas is Top Tier while Haffner is not which seems surprising to me but maybe my information is wrong on this? ......
