My understanding, after reading the link, is Top Tier is a detergent standard used in all levels of octane gas, at the oil companies stations listed. Not top tier octane (93) gasoline.

For example, Valero is a huge Texas oil company with zillions of gas stations but it's not on the list...

So it seems the V6 takes regular TOP TIER 87 octane detergent gas.

From the owners manual:

Fuel
Use of the recommended fuel
is an important part of the proper
maintenance of this vehicle. To help
keep the engine clean and maintain
optimum vehicle performance, we
recommend the use of gasoline
advertised as TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline.
Look for the TOP TIER label on the
fuel pump to ensure gasoline meets
enhanced detergency standards
developed by auto companies. A list
of marketers providing TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline can be found at
www.toptiergas.com.
