Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:21:00 GMT

Many people flock to warehouses like Costco and Sam's Club with high hopes of getting the best deal on the price of fuel and although both places offer similar savings, there's a stark difference in the quality of gas they pump. The most notable difference between Costco and Sam's Club is that one provides Top Tier gas while the other does not.A study written by Consumer Reports stated that, "Not all gasoline is created equal. There is plain old regular, and then there is regular gasoline that meets a higher standard, known as Top Tier.” Winter gas is returning: What does that mean for your wallet? Top Tier is recognized as a high-quality fuel performance specification in fuel that was developed by some of the leading automotive and heavy-duty equipment manufacturers, according to Top Tier's website. Top Tier gas can reduce build-up deposits on fuel injectors and on intake valves. This can restore engine performance, vehicle responsiveness, and fuel economy.In 2016, AAA...
