I would say don't worry if it's top tier. I take the fuel recommendation as more like marketing.
The tank is only 13.7 gallons, and I can typically only get 11 at most in when the low fuel light comes on. The price difference is barely the cost of an Americano at Starbucks. I realize it adds up over time, but it's not that big of a difference. I typically use BP or Shell depending on where I am at on my route and yes the prices vary, but if you want to shop for the cheapest gas, you'll probably burn up more gas than money you'll save trying to get to the cheaper gas station. If you're trying to save money on gas, buy a Prius.
