Do you know if Costco fuel is within Ethanol Tolerance: Up to 10% (E10)?

At this point I just gamify it. Oh look high score!! 🤣 It doesn't take much imagination to know which of my vehicles gets a lowly 12 miles per gallon in town. 🤣🤣

Sorry, did not ask for the list of pure gas stations.

What I wanted to see that the new proud owner fills up the gas tank correctly.
AMG GT 63 requires at least E10, or better!
Hence the Q if Costco gas is within the acceptable tolerance.

We don't want this unique beauty to suffer!

Experienced slight engine stuttering while back, service told me it's the Costco gas.

I love Costco. The booze, meat, seafood and bulk everything is all good. It’s like a treasure hunt for me in there. I’ll find Creed Adventus and other niche colognes in there from time-to-time for cheap, awesome tools and electronics. Now I got a hatchback with folding seats to load up like a champ @ Costco lol.

As a total aside, is it apparently, erm, shameful to buy things at Costco? I mean...all my cars get their gas from Costco and I'm happy to be shamed back to the 1970s...

I just don't get why that's a big deal...and I get to buy the odd $1.25 hot dog too I live in a rural area. There is almost never a line to wait for gas so i'm curious as to why I should buy Premium fuel at Costco Premium +20c/l or whatever it is at Shell...

The weird part is that in Canada the only Top Tier Plus (yes "plus") tier is awarded to Costco. Even Shell doesn't have it yet...

Is it a taboo to buy gas from Costco? I'm so lost haha!

I'm with you. VIVA LA COSTCO!!

Great choice. I have had mine for a few months and it’s been a great DD.

You're most welcome and good news is that he loves it, he comments how much he likes the colour in the C192 GT sub-forum after initially hating on it which is good.

Yes, my build differed greatly from what I ultimately purchased. However, the chance to step into what is a brand new 63 immediately for the same price of a 55 presented an offer I couldn’t refuse.

I’m following the break-in procedures, leaving it in comfort without any transmission kick downs, and I feel like I’m sitting on a pack of wild pitbulls wanting to attack; this thing wants to accelerate. Even in comfort, staying under 4k RPMs, this thing just flies. The seats aren’t anywhere near as comfortable as the S and it’s obviously stiffer, but I just have a huge grin on my face driving it. The S felt like a living room, this thing feels like a race horse.

Avoid start and go traffic and vary speeds on the highway not just the RPMs, I think AMG has a sticker on the top left windshield. Such as below certain speeds don't use cruise control, etc.
