Links from Costco's site? Really David? What are they going to say? "Our gasoline sucks." LOL!!! YES, Costco gas is a lower grade or level of "Top Tier". They can add their generic Kirkland brand of detergent all they want, but it doesn't mean they didn't start with a lower grade of fuel like they do. Like I said before one of my trusted family friends in the NW has owned several Unocal 76 gas stations for over 30 years (so not Shell or Chevron) but still Top Tier and has his own trucks running fuel from the huge distribution tanks at the port and sees first hand and talks to the refinery guys when he buys so there are different grades of gas as well. High level Top Tier gas like Chevron and Shell closely regulate their high quality proprietary detergents and don't depend on some kid or grandpa like at the Costco gas station to remember to or to dump the right amount of detergent into the underground tanks before the trucks get there. Yes, that's what they do, NO THANKS. Also, I'm not talking about the pumps and filters, of course you always want to go to a clean and busy station to get the freshest, cleanest gas. I would steer clear of a Mom and Pop gas station as well, no matter what brand. I go to a large clean Shell station near an interstate and if the trucks are filling the tanks at any gas station always keep driving as any underground tanks have sediment sometimes very microscopic that gets stirred up that can still pass through or around the filters and into your tank. Pump whatever gas you want I'm going with a trusted friends advice who sees first hand and an ASI Certified mechanics advice as well. For your elderly parents I get using the car "port-a-potty", but you can't take an exit off the highway and find a bush down a separate road for yourself? 😂

Ever heard of the saying "you get what you pay for"? It always holds true. No, it's not because they buy in bulk either. Did you miss the part where a trusted family friend of mine has owned gas stations for over 30 years (not Shell or Chevron either) and has his own trucks running fuel from huge distribution tanks at a fuel refinery? And that he said the Shell and Chevron highest level of Top Tier is the cleanest burning, best blend and to stay clear of Costco as well as other lower level Top Tier gas? You know there are different levels of "Top Tier" gas right? That's enough claim and education for me knowing he sees first hand and talks to the refinery personnel who know as well.

I think you can figure out how mechanics know, when they ask the customer what gas they run when they come in with plugged fuel injectors and/or frequent fuel filters with lower miles on the vehicle.

You're on a roll blu! Hilarious.

I have a close family friend who has owned gas stations and pumped gas for over 30 years so I'm going with what he tells me and he doesn't sell Shell or Chevron either, but states that they are some of the best blends and very clean burning. He also says run from Costco pumps. You are going to a crappy Shell station then, not all are the same. My truck and Vette run like a raped ape on Shell V Power. Costco is really no different than grocery store gas. There is a large difference between Shell or Chevron and Costco or Quik Trip gas and like I stated earlier there are different levels or grades of Top Tier and many use the bare minimum level of detergent additives. There's also a reason Costco gas is so cheap, they buy the bottom barrel crap that's left over at the refineries...all truth. It's crap gas, ask any good mechanic out there. Lower grade gas also burns dirty, but go ahead and take your chance you like to burn dirty anyway WTF?!?! I really hope you're kidding too.

There are different levels of Top Tier gasoline. Costco thinks that dumping a cheap detergent into the tanks when they fill them is Top Tier. It's crap gas plan and simple so are many of the other brands listed above. Lower grade gas also burns dirty, but go ahead and take your chance.

Is Amoco like Sunoco? We don't have either over here in the West. Hey, I think that's smk's ride!

Top tier fuel like Shell and Chevron among others is the only way to go. I never run anything but Top Tier in my vehicles. It does make a difference running a quality fuel and having the detergents to clean as gasoline by itself can carbon up the valves and combustion chamber pretty fast. Not to mention the money you will end up saving on repairs of a gummed up fuel system and filters running cheap gas like Costco or (insert name) grocery store gas station. Makes me cringe every time I see the long line of cars at Costco gas pumps, don't get me wrong I love Costco, but would never pump their gas in my rides.

Stop with the EV propaganda! Maybe a Camaro EV, but very doubtful a Camaro EUV.

Not sure if anyone on this thread stated the following already, I didn't feel like reading every post especially with short story novel writer olds on here 😂 GM already has this with the "new" Chevy Blazer and that rendering of the Camaro EUV looks almost identical to a Blazer besides the Camaro taillights. Chevrolet decided around 5 yeas ago to riff on the Camaro front-end design with the Malibu and Cruze then with the new Blazer so it's pretty much already been done. No reason to call it a Camaro Z28-E or whatever it would be and I don't think GM would go that route anyway. Just build a Blazer EUV model on the new BEV3 skateboard platform and park it next to the Blazer ICE CUV on the lot and there ya go. Next.

Toyota has also been phoning it in with their "class leading" Tacoma pickup for over a decade. No excuse for it. Just being lazy, but sheeple still buy them so I'm sure TMC execs say, "why blow R&D cash"? Resting on their laurels since 1990.

The 2020 Cadillac CT6 has a 10.2" infotainment touchscreen display in all trim levels and a 12" gauge cluster HD display in higher end trims. I've driven one, they're plenty big enough. Many like myself don't want the huge Tesla'esque finger print and dust magnet touchscreen panel. https://www.cadillac.com/search-inventory/ct6/details?x-symbolic=vdp&x-carline=ct6&x-modelyear=2020&q-sourcepath=/vdc-collections/2020/sedans/ct6/ct6/jcr:content/vdcVehicleInfoBlockConfig/vdcShoppingLinks#?radius=2000&models=CT6&years=2020&customertype=GC&makes=Cadillac&filterconfigkey=Cadillac-2020-CT6&requestedPostalcode=85351&postalcode=85351&vin=1G6KV5RJ2LU105934&filtermatched=exactmatch&primarydealerdistance=3.5&bac=279625&pagenumber=1&dealerSearchBy=bac&primarydealerid=279625&primarydealerpostalcode=85308&[email protected]&primarydealername=ARROWHEAD CADILLAC&primarydealerphone=6026353160

'33 Chevrolet Eagle. Thought it looked mid 30's you can tell by the door trim (shape and angle) mid door under the window and the sloping front fender, the wheels are spot on match too. I worked around a lot of classic cars and trucks years ago. https://classiccars.com/listings/view/1179549/1933-chevrolet-eagle-for-sale-in-cadillac-michigan-49601

Circa. 1930's?. '33 Chevrolet 1 1/2 ton.

Own distillery as well?! And the GM'esque front air curtain side aero vents that you hate on the new Silverado and 'Sclade?
