Top tier refers to the amount of octane that is in the fuel. 87, 91, 93. 93 would be top tier by definition. Let's not reinvent the wheel here and create new definitions based on opinion of the quality of fuel.
Also, all fuel at the same octane level is the same. It comes from the same base element, and the different additives that get advertised by Chevron/Mobil/"whatever" are just marketing. Nothing else...barring the addition of water, of course. Racetrack was accused of this in the middle/late 90's and ended up blowing out one of my buddy's V12 Bronco.
