Did you even read the other link? Costco gas is one of their "top tier" gasolines.

I get giddy talking about it with people. I love Costco. A couple of the sampler people recognize me.

Ok, yeah that would be worth it.

I never have time for Sams, even though we got the membership for the diapers at least. Just not convenient for me, so it's really money wasted.

But yeah, $.30 savings per gallon is definitely worth that.

The gas that Costco sells you is shitty and not near as good for your car as Shell/Chevron, etc.

Doesn't have the detergent and your fuel injectors start to clog up.

Fwiw, I used to work at MSY fueling planes and when the truck would show up to deliver our fuel we were rarely the first stop. They would go to Shell, then Circle K, then us with the same fuel.

Well I'll be damned. I looked at the list of Top Tier gasolines, and Costco is listed. Should've looked before I posted before.

So yes, it's worth it.

For those who don't click, Sams and Wal-Mart isn't considered top-tier gas.

I think they add the detergent on-site to the base gasoline. Some places even offer an added detergent at the point of sale (the pump).

Alcohol:
Vodka is great
Tequila is good
Bourbon is serviceable
Champagne is good
Chardonnay is not very good

Haven't had the rest

While I was there yesterday, I picked up the Tequilla. 1 liter of Anejo 100% Agave for $19. Damn good for the price.

The churros aren't bad, but the pizza tastes like ketchup painted cardboard.
