I know that this fuel is NOT Top Tier but does anyone have any hard data on the detergency level? Is it just another cheap fuel that meets government minimum standards or does it have a little extra detergent? Just curious if anyone knows.
Was using it in a 2006 Honda Odyssey for about a year. No ill effects. Once the Sam's club membership expired, we went back to top tier gasoline.I know that this fuel is NOT Top Tier but does anyone have any hard data on the detergency level? Is it just another cheap fuel that meets government minimum standards or does it have a little extra detergent? Just curious if anyone knows.
This. Done many a fillup at Sam's and nary a problem.Cheap bulk gas like a lot of others. I wouldn’t avoid it but also wouldn’t go out of my way for it either.
You do know that mobil shell and such get their gas from the exact same storage and distribution facility. The only difference is that they add an additive on their premium fuel or at least give you the option on the screen to pay for it. But the fuel is the same. The marketing is just that.The Sams around me is 7 to 10 cents less than surrounding gas stations. Not worth it in my opinion specially nor being Top Tier.
Additives matter for oil. Why not for fuel?You do know that mobil shell and such get their gas from the exact same storage and distribution facility.

Because there a minimum that's good enough. I've always pumped the cheapest 87 and have 340k on oe everything in my fuel system and my suv runs fine to this day without ever using additives. If cheap gas was a problem you'd actually hear about it. But you don't unless it's some rattly poor quality pisspot that needs premium to actually run decently.Additives matter for oil.

They all get gas from the same terminal that is correct, even use the same truck, but each has a different detergent pack.

It all goes through the same pipelines from the refineries to the tank farms , etc.They all get gas from the same terminal that is correct, even use the same truck, but each has a different detergent pack. That is the difference.
