Not snake oil
There is a standard. There is in fact a licensing program. It was designed by a bunch of major car makers and fuel stations. The cost is miniscule but non zero to implement. The key detergent is PEA. Techron has PEA. Many fuel system cleaners don't. Cheap gas often does not. That is because there are multiple possible detergents that can be used and PEA is not the cheapest.
I own a 450 hp engine car. I like cars and I have spent a lot of time on this issue. IMHO PEA should be mandated. But the US is not some perfect country where everything that should happen, happens. Gas stations sell old fuel all the time and yes, gas does go bad over time. The minimum requirements are bunk like so many minimum requirements. If you have an old car or something that is a daily beater and you drive a lot, you can do whatever. My dealer charges me a liver for anything. The independent shops around me are lousy. I spend the extra $ cause I like my car and because of anything happens I am out a bunch of money.
Yes all the top brands use it. That's because for a tiny amount of money you get all the petrol heads with nice cars to come to your station and fill up premium gas. It's why I know exactly where is the one station in a 25 mile radius where I can get 100% gasoline gas. No top tier means they don't get my business. Multiply me by anyone with a good car who reads up on cars and you can work out why every top brand (hint … top tier) is top tier and the rest are not.

There's zero evidence or testing they show anywhere.
In their document, they specified that the additives meet the EPA and Clean Air Act. So do all gasoline sold in US.
What are these mysterious additives that boost performance and clean engines. Keep in mind that the "performance" here is referring to the valve sticking testing done in a control setting, not your car performance.
How does the top tier perform against non-top tier? No one knows. Top tier themselves provide no evidence.
Pretty much all national chain brands are top tier. I'm not sure where anyone can find the discount gas that does not meet federal and state requirements.
Top tier means absolutely nothing. Some people just repeat marketing claims without thinking it through.

"AAA conducted primary research in the area of fuel quality to better understand the impact of detergent additive packages on engine cleanliness. These additives have been used in commercially available gasoline for more than 20 years to help keep fuel system components clean and prevent the buildup of carbon deposits on critical engine components such as fuel injectors, intake valves and combustion chamber surfaces. Such deposits disturb airflow and affect air/fuel ratios, which can lead to detonation, pre-ignition, incomplete combustion, reduced fuel economy and increased exhaust emissions."

Additionally, the Costcos near me almost always have a long line of cars, so I know they go through a lot of fuel, and the gas is fresh. By and large it's good fuel, but it does contain ethanol so you may want to use something like this on occasion.
Highly biased, limited sample study that is clearly not representative is a pseudo-scientific marketing BS.
It's funny how people think they do their "research" by glacing at random articles without reading or thinking critically.

I'm still trying to figure out how my Placebo resolved my error code on my car for my VVT solenoid after using 2 bottles of this.
The solenoid is still sitting in the box. Haven't replaced it since the code went away after I used the 2 bottles I got from the last time these went on sale this past year.
(Before anyone chimes in, yes I know this is a part that clogs with dirty oil. And yes, it was still recommended by other owners to try before replacing the part.)

This is not research. It's a marketing campaign.
You're telling me a multibillion-dollar industry with robust financial support do not have research that meet basic research standards? AAA's flawed research is the best they have on proving that Top Tier gas is better than Non Top Tier gas? 6 brands and Texas gas stations represent the entire US and you don't see a problem with that?
Also, if Techron additives are much better than other Top Tier gas, shouldn't that be supported by simple research data?
It's called critical thinking. It has nothing to do with how I maintain my vehicle.
Will this help to "clean" the engine and other components? I really don't know much about car lol
