Freshness counts as most of today’s fuels have alcohol blended in which absorbs water over time and allows octane to fall more quickly than straight gasoline. I always get very high flow rates from their pumps so I think they keep up with pump maintenance such as changing filters out or replacing worn components. With just over 35 MPG during the lifetime of my Si, it seems to be burning quite nicely.
Thank you,..yes Costco only 3 blocks from my house!
