So, last year I traded my 2020 Jeep Rubicon for a new Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy. Super SUV with AWD....and huge amount of technology stuff. We were at the point where we were not physically able to do more off-road travel due to my wife's health....and I have not got the stones of a few years ago either. It was time to do something different, so I worked a good trade on a nice vehicle. No regrets.
As I did some research and read on current issues with recent gas engines.....one thing became clear. Today's engines require good gasoline. No iff's and's or butt's .....the cheap gas does not have ways to lubiricate the valve train and upper cylinders, etc. TOP TIER GAS HAS THE RIGHT STUFF. IIn short stay away from off-brand gas....and the gas offered at many convenience stores. They do not have the additives that the name brands carry. Shell, Mobile, Phillips, Exon, and many of the big sellers like Costco and Kwik Trip sell Top Tier Gas. You can look it up on the web....under "top tier gasoline" and it will tell you who sells it. This is a big deal on new engines with some of the EPA standards that are ruinning engines.....accoring to what I have read.
look at the pump....those that say "Top Tier Gasoline" is what you want to put in your vehicles. Also your should run some additives at every oil change is what I have read. I am going this way.....and I encourage you to read about it.
Any mechanics or knowledgeable others here to chime in on this issue?
