Costco is just too crowded for comfort. First parking is a pain and then you have to navigate your cart through hordes. And then finally check out lines are huge. It's just crazy. Sam's club has fewer people and so shopping is MUCH faster. And scan and go is awesome. My wife just refuses to step into Costco now. We figured $20 extra per year for Sam's Club is worth the peace of mind.
We'll probably still keep Costco. $60 is a lot but even one big ticket item a year makes up for it. So we'll keep Costco for major purchases and online ordering. Overall 'deals' are definitely better at Costco. But we'll use Sam's club for regular weekend groceries. Like I said, $20 extra just to avoid the crazy Costco rush is worth it.
All three Costcos around us are a zoo. The Scan & Go at Sam's is amazing, I can't believe anyone puts up with lines. And a hill that I will die on is that Costco's food sucks compares to Sam's. We have been to all three; my kids hate their pizza and their hot dogs suck (and no sauerkraut!). Froyo is twice as much as Sam's (and it's the same stuff). I don't think you can order food from the Costco app like you can with Sam's; it's nice to just walk up and get my food without waiting in line.
I just don't get the Costco cult following. Like most places, you only save money on some things and they make it up on overpricing others. Their return policy is generous, I'll give them that, but so was REI's before it was abused enough that they had to crack down on it.
Quick note: Costco has gone up to $65 for their standard membership, so it's no longer $60.

How about you run your own real world road tests with post 2015 manufactured cars and then take engines apart to see if there are differences or not?
By the way, the Top tier gasoline standards were never created by Gas companies. Ten major Automakers including Toyota during 90s came up with it because they were pissed off by how cheap gasoline could damage or wear out their car engines prematurely. I suppose you know about cars better than those Automakers. You should tell them which fuel to use.
Again, how gas companies like Chevron or Shell comes up with some BS marketing names are irrelevant.
AAA also did tests on changes in Octane rating in 2017 and there was no significant performance difference for average non high performance vehicles however that is also irrelevant.
I usually follow manufacturers guideline whether its electronics or cars. I will continue to use the top tier because that's what the car manufactures recommend not because gas companies came up with some BS marketing name scheme. Besides my local Costco gas ( top-tier ) price is actually cheaper than local Sam' s ( non top-tier ).
What's so special about post 2015 cars? The physics of ideal combustion hasn't changed...14.7 air to fuel ratio with O2 sensors for feedback. You keep harping about top tier, but you have not provided any data on what is added to the fuel to achieve top tier status. Without top tier fuel spec, anyone can claim top tier fuel without risking fraudulent prosecution.
Edited to add, you get more percentage back for Sam's cash too with plus

Secondly you made a fasle assumption that it was gimmick created by gas companies for marketing.
Thirdly I never said anything about car manufacturers voiding warranties.
It's like saying, Apple and Samsung say max optimal operating temperature is 100F', so give me documents on if they would void warranties if using their products at temperature over 100F'. I see many using them at dry sauna at 200'F. You seem to be one of those people.
Funny you have not provided a single test/study or even a document. Do whatever you want to do buddy 😆

You keep steering away from the topic on if using top tier gas is better.
I mean facts are already out there. Automakers are the ones who first came up with top tier gas concept not gas companies. There are studies and articles that back it up. Though, price of top tier gas is slightly higher than non top tier, national avergage costco gas price ( top tier ) is actually lower than national average of Sam' s club gasoline ( non top tier ).
If your sam' s club gas works for you then feel free to keep using them. Nobody cares about how great your cars have been.

Some poorly designed engines like VW will have excessive carbon deposit, regardless of the fuel. 1985 Toyota Celica uses a 22RE engine with port fuel injection. The intake valves and combustion area don't look much different than those on a 2008 Toyota Corolla because they burn at 14.7 ratio and don't consume excessive amount of engine oil.
The integrity of the mass air flow sensor and air intake path after the mass air flow sensor have much greater influence on the engine than top tier fuel. And yet most people don't do anything until the check engine light comes on.
Bottom line is all gasoline sold in the US meets federal and mfr warranty requirement. The performance of a Toyota/Denso oil filter is vastly inferior to a Mobil 1 oil filter. Yet most Toyotas have no problem hitting 200K miles with Fram or no-name oil filters.
