Ashley DerringtonShort Answer: 76 is a highly rated fuel retailer in the U.S., and its gas stations supply TOP TIER certified gasoline. 76 receives its gas from ConocoPhillips, which also supplies Conoco and Phillips 66. Below, we provide the details about 76’s TOP TIER certified gas.
76 Gasoline Quality
76 gas stations offer TOP TIER certified gasoline. In fact, 76 claims that its fuel has three times more detergent additives than the minimum required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and 30% more than standard TOP TIER gas. These additives help your car run smoother by removing harmful deposits. A clean engine also burns less fuel, thus releasing fewer emissions and making it better for the environment.
76, owned by the Phillips 66 Company, receives its fuel from ConocoPhillips. ConocoPhillips develops and produces crude oil and natural gas, and it sources these elements from 17 countries. In addition to 76, ConocoPhillips supplies gas for two other TOP TIER licensed retail brands: Conoco and Phillips 66.
TOP TIER Gasoline
TOP TIER is considered the premier standard for gasoline performance. For gasoline to be considered TOP TIER, it must meet certain standards developed by a group of major auto manufacturers to ensure that — regardless of octane level — the fuel you put in your vehicle allows the engine to perform at its best.
TOP TIER licensed brands like 76 use a high level of detergent additives that help prevent the buildup of negative engine deposits. These additives enhance overall car performance.
The EPA sets its own standards for gasoline; fuels that only meet the EPA’s requirements often have fewer and lower-quality additives than TOP TIER gas. This can lead to the buildup of deposits in fuel injectors, intake valves, and combustion chambers and can negatively impact the car’s responsiveness and engine performance. Additionally, it can create pollutants that hinder the vehicle’s emissions system. Automotive industry professionals and the American Automobile Association (AAA) recommend drivers fill up with TOP TIER gas.
It is worth noting that while some gasoline retailers are not TOP TIER certified, they may have their own standards and formulation of additives that still exceed those set by the EPA.
