About KT Gasoline
From The Beginning, All Gasoline Is The Same
All gasoline starts out as crude oil. Crude oil is shipped from oil
fields all over the world to refineries, where it is turned into the gasoline that your cars and trucks burn as fuel.
At the refineries, where
all gasoline is produced, gasoline is a generic product that meets
general standards set forth by ASTM for gasoline quality. It doesn't
have a brand name, additives or octane boosters. Every gallon of every grade of Kwik Trip gasoline
is specially formulated with detergents that help clean your engine.
Drop for drop, you'll
get the best gas available for a fair price at any Kwik Trip or Kwik
Star store...plus you'll also get a whole lot more from your stop.
Kwik Trip gasoline has been approved by BMW, General Motors, Honda, and Toyota as a Top Tier Detergent Gasoline.
Kwik
Trip, Inc. Uses Only Top Tier approved Deposit Control Additives In Their Gasoline
As more advanced engines have emerged, so too has gasoline. The most important additives to your car are deposit control additives.
These additives have had a profound effect on your vehicle's life.
Without them, deposits can accumulate
in an engine's fuel system--in fuel injectors, intake manifold ports and valves.
These deposits can cause lower gas mileage, starting problems, power losses and unnecessary exhaust pollutants.
Following top auto fuel research,
officials at Kwik Trip, Inc. have established company guidelines for additive content
in their gasoline. This means you'll find only Top Tier approved additives...meeting the Top Tier specifications...
in every gallon...at every Kwik Trip and Kwik Star store you visit. With Kwik Trip,
Inc.'s precise criterion on deposit control additives, you can be confident that our Top Tier
gasoline will propel your vehicle to perform at it's highest level for as long as you drive it.

Kwik Trip, Inc.'s Sophisticated
Monitoring Methods and Equipment Ensure Problem-Free Gasoline
At every fuel pump, gasoline is stored in vast underground storage
tanks. It is critical that these tanks protect gasoline from contact with water. As you know, water and gasoline don't mix.
When a certain level of
water reaches your engine, it won't run. That's why it is so important to buy your gasoline from a reputable company with
complex, state-of-the-art monitoring equipment.
Through a comprehensive
computerized monitoring system, Kwik Trip continuously gauges
and protects the contents of its underground storage tanks guaranteeing
a quality fuel you can rely on every day.
Kwik Trip, Inc. also changes
its inventories often--an average of every three days. This
ensures that no water, nor any other unwanted substance, will ever reach your engine.
Kwik Trip, Inc. ...
An Environmental Leader
Kwik Trip and Kwik Star stores are proud to be environmental
leaders in the use of ethanol and vapor recovery technology.
In addition to the traditional
unleaded gasolines, many Kwik Trip and Kwik Star stores now offer ethanol-blended gasoline to help clean up the environment
by reducing damaging CO emissions from your vehicle. Ethanol (ethyl or grain alcohol) is the most widely used oxygenate-blended
fuel, and has been endorsed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its clean air benefits.
In addition to its environmental
benefits, ethanol is also a natural octane booster, natural de-icer and helps keep carburetors and fuel injectors clean.
Americans have successfully driven more than 800 billion trouble-free miles on ethanol-blended gas.
Ethanol is produced from
agricultural products purchased right here from Midwest farmers.
Because of this 10% blend, we can reduce our dependence on foreign oil by the same 10%.
Vapor Recovery
Kwik Trip, Inc. is also in the forefront of the latest technology
in recovering gas vapors at the fuel pumps. Based on atmospheric
data collected by the EPA, Kwik Trip, Inc. has installed equipment
that captures fumes you would normally smell while fueling,
and returns them to underground tanks. Preventing the escape
of these vapors reduces the formation of ground level ozone that can be harmful to our lungs.
