I've got to say that this reeks of bullshit. They are selling licenses to list yourself as TOP TIER™, so the study is riddled with bias. I just read through the study, and while intake valves showed significantly less deposits, most other areas of the engine did not. The study was over 100 hours with undoubtedly favorable conditions to get the results desired, so attempting to draw any conclusions about what any of this means for long term reliability is not possible. It might be worth considering if someone owns a car from the decade or so of poorly designed direct injected engines that are prone to deposits, but if someone decided to drive 10 miles out of the way to get TOP TIER™, they are playing a fool's game. If it is already at your Costco, why not? Personally, I'm very comfortable that Sam's doesn't choose to engage in this money grab to license their product as TOP TIER™, since not being TOP TIER™ does not mean you have less detergents.
You have to use critical thinking in these things. If adding a little more detergent really added 4% to fuel efficiency and simultaneously decreased emissions, there's no damned way the EPA wouldn't increase the minimum fuel requirements. The truth is that most fuel in the nation would qualify for TOP TIER™ if they decided to pay TOP TIER™ for the privelege of branding that way.
Top tier fuel is a badge companies pay for, similar to good housekeeping & to jd power for more validity. Just because a company doesn't opt for the top tier badge, it doesn't mean it isn't good gas.
Lines are usually much, much shorter at all non-peak hours for Sam's Club over Costco.
Is there a Costco in the entire country with short lines? Never found one yet.
Warehouse clubs seem to have lost some purpose over the last couple decades. Families are having far fewer children these days so the jumbo size products are less and less useful for most households.

Sam's still has Combo Pizza though, and a much better drink selection.
Touché. Haha. I like them both. I think I just miss Costco now that I don't have it nearby. The greeters at Sam's aren't near as loving as the ones at Costco: https://youtu.be/Z8zNsUTWsOc?si=OMnQizCeMEbKKW6p

Any trick on getting around the new member requirement? I tried using a different email.
We always buy a year in my name and when it expires my spouse buys one in her name (using discounted Groupons). Kinda an inconvenience getting id cards made every year but only paying a few bucks instead of $50 is worth it I Guess

New email, new phone number and different credit card than the existing account did the trick for me, or else it keeps saying you already have an account with the info provided
Sam's Club offers high-quality regular, premium, and diesel gas, but does not carry Top Tier fuel. Top Tier fuel is a high-quality fuel performance specification that has more detergent additives than the Environment Protection Agency requires. These additives help keep engines clean. According to AAA, continued fuel use without the Top Tier additive package could result in: 2% to 4% lower miles per gallon, increased emissions, and a greater chance of maintenance issues.
This is utter nonsense. That entire post means exactly nothing. Refineries don't make subpar grades of gas.
