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.

If you have one nearby it's worth getting for the gas savings alone.

For the first time subscription, swagbucks will give you 1000 SB, equivalent to $10. Last time they gave 1500 SB, which literally costed $5 in total.
I see save $30 off $50 on swagbucks but I don't see anything for 1000sb

Quote from FrankF7061 :
The manual for my BMW m550i tells me to use top tier. Yea, all gas comes from the same factory but the additives pack each brand puts in it is the key. It is especially important with direct injected engines to keep the intake valves clean.
Exact opposite. With direct injected engines, the gas never touches the intake valves so Top Tier is pretty much useless - that's what direct injection means - directly injected into the combustion chamber. I've driven many BMWs for decades and I've only ever filled them up at Sam's Club. I recently scoped the inside of my cylinders after removing my injectors and there's minimal carbon buildup despite being tuned and track use. The only way to keep the valves clean on a M550i is either injecting methanol or walnut blasting at 100k miles.

Mechanics can be so dumb. They are cluless. For maybe 30 yrs or more I heard BS about special gas and such nonsese. Any car other than race cars that cann for Premium can run fine on regular. I understand performance can be slightly less. I mean slightly. With the traffic here in South FLA you dont need high performance anything since you are in heavy traffic with goofballs texting and calling, the right lane is is for driving 15-20 mph under the speed limit, cops everywhere, speed traps, school zones etc.
Everything is an open conspiracy.

Some of the leading automakers sponsor the TOP TIER Program and recommend its consistent use in vehicles to minimize carbon deposit build-up and keep engines operating as designed. The number of sponsors has grown over the years and now includes BMW, General Motors, Stellantis, Ford, Honda, Daimler Truck, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Navistar and Audi.

Deposits that form in engines and fuel delivery systems can cause performance issues such as reduced fuel economy, increased emissions and drivability problems such as hard starting, hesitation and stalling. TOP TIER Approved Gasolines use additives tested and shown to minimize deposits.

Quote from AwsiDooger :
Sounds like you are laughably ignorant. It has nothing to do with octane. It is all about detergent additives, after the fuel leaves the shared refineries. I'll quote AAA, if you don't like my mechanic:

"Key Findings: 1. The test engine operated on a TOP TIER gasoline averaged 19 times fewer intake valve deposits than when it was operated on non- TOP TIER gasoline. (based on the ASTM D6201 test - TOP TIER gasoline averaged 34.1mg of deposits per intake valve versus non- TOP TIER average of 660.6mg) 2. Based upon secondary research findings, long-term use of a gasoline without an enhanced additive package can lead to reductions in fuel economy of 2-4%, drivability issues, and increased emissions. © 2016 American Automobile Association, Inc. 2

In most cases, carbon deposits can be reduced or removed from critical engine components1 by switching to a gasoline that meets TOP TIER standards."
wont matter if your engine is GDI

On the shop page (desktop) under shop now, get Get 1 SB per $1 spent. Purchase a new Sam's Club Membership. Renewals are not eligible for Cash Back 1000 SB.

I did it last week for the 1500 to get a Plus membership (Amex had offer of 45 off Plus) and oddly they doubled it to 3000 pending. No complaints.

EDIT: I also have both Sam's and Costco. Costco quality is superior but Sam's is more convenient in that they have more of a selection and open earlier. I also do the Plus so I can get things shipped easily.

For the non-account holder we just use the Sam's app absolutely love it.
We don't even have a physical card time this time around just the app.
Same here, no need for physical cards since the app is taken at the fuel pump now.

i've even found a few places that won't let you create a +2 account but since i already created a +1, I can keep it but i can't do anything with it because it says "+" is invalid account. that was years ago so i guess more places are catching on. these days, i use the "." instead.

Before Covid, I would get a free annual membership AND a $45 gift card. Then as the years moved on, it became a $10 membership...now its $20 and will likely keep climbing. Those days you speak of are long gone. Frown
