1st the AAA makes a living from selling insurance. That's not a good start to gaining my trust.
Nothing like AAA in SA? The insurance is for breakdowns on the road, not (primarily?) liability.

Try DuckDuckGo? duckduckgo.com/?q=fuel+quality%2C+including+the+full+test+report+ and+fact+sheet%2C+visit+NewsRoom.AAA.com&ia=web

Key Findings:
1. The test engine operated on a TOP TIER gasoline averaged 19 times fewer intake valve deposits than when it was operated on non- TOP TIER gasoline. (based on the ASTM D6201 test - TOP TIER gasoline averaged 34.1mg of deposits per intake valve versus non- TOP TIER average of 660.6mg)
2. Based upon secondary research findings, long-term use of a gasoline without an enhanced additive package can lead to reductions in fuel economy of 2-4%, drivability issues, and increased emissions.
