I assure you, no, no it isn't. There are only about 130 refineries in the entire united states. Because gas is very heavy and therefore expensive to ship, regardless of where you buy it your gas comes from one of the nearest refineries. The ONLY difference between brands and octanes is the mixture of detergents and preservatives that are added. If your car is designed to run on low octane then higher octanes will NOT increase the lifespan of the vehicle. The only time you need to use a high octane is when you have a very expensive, high performance engine that REQUIRES (note I didn't say recommend) a higher octane. If you have a high end engine then your car is very expensive, you have a lot of money and logically you won't be such a cheap bastard that you are shopping at walmart and haggling over the price of walmart+Why doesn't octane and "gas quality" matter? It's simple.... if properly maintained the engine is one of the last things to go bad on a car. Transmissions, suspension and the body of the car itself is far more likely to go out first. I had a 1999 ford tarus... was ran to death... cheapest gas I could find.. lasted 20 years. it got regular oil changes and maintenance and that is why it lasted. I have a 1992 camaro... that's a sports car... again, cheapest gas. It has some problems, but the engine isn't one of them.

I don't think you know what top tier gas is. It is not the octane.You literally spelled it out and didn't realize it. "the only difference is detergents". These get added at the terminal when getting loaded, depending on the station that ordered it. Of course your 1999 Taurus didn't care, it's the modern engines that care. Also, I'm not sure why you are bragging, 20 years is not very long for a car to last.

Agreed. I've had numerous friends who put over 200K miles on their cars, 2012 - 2018 models, and never once filled them with anything but regular, non-premium gas. None of them had engine issues. Transmissions and a battery (for a hybrid) ended up doing in some, and theft or wrecks others.

Top Tier is not premium. Top Tier is additives. Premium is an octane rating.

Have been thinking of signing up for this for a while. For the people that have used the service. Do you tip? If you have to tip I see no point in getting the service. Few posts back someone wrote that "they expect it." Thanks.

in addition, if you are on government assistance (SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, SSI, TANF, LIHEAP, etc.), are a student, or are an AARP member, W+ is $49.99/yr.

i also expect they will offer another half price promo this summer or during black friday, but that remains to be seen. with the free delivery, free streaming service, and gas price discounts, it's a no-brainer at the $49.99 price point. finger crossed 🤞

Agree!😀

I have Costco as well

with W+, you do not need to go to their gas stations to get the discount. I fill up at my local TopStar, completely unrelated to Walmart and still get the discount

my local Walmarts don't even have gas stations

TIL people still buy gas 🤯

Never tipped. They leave your stuff at the door.

If I understand this correctly, use the amex for the $1 and then 30 days later when it charges the $98 you should get $49 back and also $25 walmart cash. Making it $25 for 13 months and worth it for peacock alone.

These drivers are independent gig workers. Their base pay per order is low and they have to pay for gas and car maintenance. Tip them good if you live far away from the store. Otherwise go to the store yourself.

I don't like how walmart expects tips or you probably won't get your order. I rather have prime and get my stuff delivered by usps or ups.

This depends on the order. For some orders the goods are shipped to you straight form the distro center. Those require no tips. For other orders, an employee has to select the items in an actual Walmart store near you and then pack it up. Then an independent delivery driver will pick it up and take it to your delivery address. THOSE latter type of orders you have the option to tip.

For the first type of order and delivery from the distro center, tipping isn't even possible on the website. The latter type of delivery gives you the option to tip.

I dont tip usps, fedex, ups, [insert carrier name] for my packages. Why should I tip them, I'm already paying Walmart for the free perk, I shouldn't have to tip to get my damn stuff!

Sick of this stupid tipping culture, go to any store and they have the tip forced in even though you taking out or its self service! You wont get your food devlivered if you're not tipping.. This is BS!!

Yeah the tipping is the worst. You would have to pay ME 98 dollars to join Walmart plus. The dude who said he never tips has no idea how they are messing with his food.

But the difference is ups, FedEx, usps, other carrier company uses company's trucks to deliver your packages and they get pay way more. If u don't tip it's ok bc their pay is high anyway, but those gig workers has lower pay, use their own 🚗 so if u don't tip they'll throw your groceries, packages, etc every time. My eggs always arrive damaged and Amazon doesn't care. Amazon knows customers will eventually get tired of making calls to complain.
