I've got to say that this reeks of bullshit. They are selling licenses to list yourself as TOP TIERâ„¢, 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 TIERâ„¢, 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 TIERâ„¢, since not being TOP TIERâ„¢ 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 TIERâ„¢ if they decided to pay TOP TIERâ„¢ 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.

neither would i but i would pay for the privilege of getting the cheaper gas.

there may be several other cb options to cover the $20.....
Care to share via DM which site gives $20 cb? It looks like the rates dropped to $10 max, worse than several months ago when they gave back $20 for a $25 membership.

You seem confused, you keep talking about octane rating.

Costco's gas is better because they use more detergents.
I do not, learn how to read. I said that is the only difference that could be made. Detergents are an absolute load of shit. Saying more detergents is better is almost as stupid as using corn in our gas supply

Dang, I didn't realize that ordering an item that is not in-store still has a shipping fee if you pick it up at the store.

Once in a while it is 2 cents cheaper but right now its the same as every other gas station in town. Many things end up cheaper at Walmart also.

Will stick with Costco

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 just marketing hype....don't drink their kool-aid.

I've used these deals every year for the last five years. Whenever my year is up, I change my phone number to just some junk number, change my email to a disposable email like 10min mail, and remove my address.

Sign up for the new membership with may actual info and I'm good to go for the next year.

They do offer shipping and pick up so you never have to walk in the door if you don't want to.

What do you really get for the upgrade? I gave them the feedback they requested once and the manager, who was new, responded with an apology and upgraded me to Plus. I didn't get anything out of that though because I don't shop there that much, and it meant my renewal cost doubled! So I cancelled at renewal time and found another deal for the regular membership.
For me, the free shipping and the 2% "Sams Cash" back (although you only earn when you shop in store)

With free shipping - I can have the mega packs of toilet paper shipped to my door. Easier than jamming into my sedan. They ship nearly everything that's not heavyweight or refrigerated - at speeds comparable to Prime.

I spend enough at Sams that the "2% Sams Cash" back (which stacks on top of whatever credit card rewards you have - ie: Discover/Chase Freedom 5% quarters) effectively covers my cost for membership.

I'm trying to do this now. It's not letting me change the phone number without putting in a valid one with a code verify.

No its not. Retailers/gas companies are not paying just for a "badge" here. This isn't JD powers or BBB certified here. Where did you even get this false information from?


Theres a clear difference when I fill with Top tier gas and other brands in my car. I get less MPG and its so noticeable.

It's not a bad point. You know all of the fuel that comes through a pipeline is the same octane separated by what they call "pigs". These are huge rubber plugs that travel the length of the pipeline with the fuel. These pigs separate the various octanes travelling through the pipeline. Once the fuel reaches its destination, the various gas companies take delivery of it and then add their own blend of additives. But... in essence it's all the same fuel.

No crap....its the additives that make the difference.

Same thing with motor oil.

So you mean to tell me that when BP/Amaco dropped the Top Tier fuel badge on their product that it got worse? That their additives were not up to Top Tier standards? That your MPG went down once the badge wasnt there? Again the badge is there to add comfort to the purchase, no different than Good Housekeeping or JD Power.

that's idiotic. you'd save more money buying in bulk than you could ever save on gas
Last time I compared Sam's to Aldi for stuff I actually buy, Aldi was really close on price. Why buy 2x - 6x what you reasonably need to save a couple percent?

I can buy brisket at WM that's select grade for a few dollars more than the prime brisket at Sams. Many times the select is just as good with the marbling. WM is way more convenient for me. Sam's is out of the way.

Pork Butts at Sams cost less than everyday price at the grocery store. But significantly more than the sale price at grocery stores. With 3 grocery stores around me rotating their sale weekends, I really don't need Sam's for this buy.

You can get OTC meds for about the same cost per dose at many places that don't require a membership fee.

Sam's really only wins on foodservice supplies and ready to eat hot dogs. But the food stand at my store is always out of stuff or it closes early due to staffing problems. So really it's just foil pans.

Sam's just doesn't have much going for them these days.
