Can you link me to something that isn't their marketing material? Just because a couple OEM's put their name on it doesn't make it legit, oil has a fuckton of money to throw around...

Edit: To clarify EPA standards are rather stringent (more stringent than some of our food standards but that's another topic), I have a hard time believing any gas is significantly better or worse especially considering the limited number of refineries supplying each region. A gallon or five of 'miracle X' in a couple thousand gallon tank doesn't exactly make me want to pay an extra $1-3 per tank.
