After using a tank of different PP up the road, which netted 19.2mpg, ('18 1SS) I topped off with abt 3/8ths tank of Shell premium yesterday---and now, it's setting on 19.8mpg.
Also used to have an old model Tundra, that got to the point of almost refusing to start on said PP. Filled up with 3/4 tank of Shell premium, and the difference in starting/running in that truck was very apparent before I got out of the gas station parking lot. ***** Research indicated as what's stated here, the gasoline is consistent, and likely from same trucks whether discount, or top tier sellers--- but it's the detergent/additives that make the difference. IMO, that's precisely what I found out for stations around here. In NH, they have ethanol-free gas at separate pumps. I tried some, but so far, I haven't noticed any difference between it and top tier premo stuff, except it having a slightly higher price. (?) |

I use Costco gas exclusively because:
1. I trust Costco and their claim of "Top Tier" 2. Pricing - yes it is the best pricing almost always. I remember in SoCal, it being 60 cents cheaper than the station down the street. 3. They keep their stations clean, including the pumps. 4. They are staffed at the stations, I mean a staff member at the pumps = less chance of skimmers being installed. 5. I love Costco I even look for Costco's on road trips to stop for gas.

Top tier gas
I only use chevron premium in my 2020 2SS and at each fill-up I also add Heet water remover, stabil fuel stabilizer, and RP fuel system cleaner. Since a tank lasts me between 6-8 mos I make sure it's got all the stuff it needs to stay a happy, clean engine.

I avoid costco at all costs. Not because the gas isnt quality, its just the place is too much of a zoo unless you go at 5 am or closing time.. Time is $.

Ouch! I just filled up at Costco for 93 at $ 3.35 a gal. I go anytime I want and have very little wait. Another reason I buy there - they sell a lot of gas thus the tanks are refilled often which equals fresher gas.

Sams in my neck sells 93 octane. And as for the econ yes you can adjust with the right arrow!

Sam's is no longer top tier, unless it's hiding under some brand like Costco's Kirkland, which is. I use Shell Vpower 93.
