How does that manifest itself? I don't think I've ever gotten bad gas the whole time I've been driving.

I don't pay for gas. It would take a hell of a rebate to beat my price :^D

usually from water or crap in their storage tank(s). I've had fuel filters get completely plugged from "tank sludge" and rust, had fuel lines freeze because of all the water in the gasoline, as well as just "severe performance issues." (loss of power, bad mileage)
 
Yeah never had bad gas either, at least not enough to cause any issues with the car. I find car engines are quite robust anyway, small engines tend to be more picky so I tend to put ethanol free premium in those.

Amazon Basic and Costco Motor Oil are from the same manufacture. Warren Distribution Inc. They supply a lot of the oil to private label retailers.

Most likely these are identical, although it's possible the manufacturer is tweaking the formula slightly for each private label. Also the same as Walmart SuperTech, which is usually cheapest. But this Costco deal (10 quarts for $25) is fantastic. I'm not a motor oil expert, but contrary to what kage69 said, AmazonBasics full synthetic motor oil is not better than Mobil 1 (it's pretty close though).

I've seen pics of the gas line there... nuts. I'm sure it's not all the time, but is it clear every time you go?

Five to ten min wait. Like I said, either I wait at costco or I wait at the piano teacher's place. Either way, I am waiting.

Even from the Taco Bell drive through?

Drive throughs are wasteful. I always walk in. More to the point though, tacobell doesn't give me much ass problem. It's the healthy food that kicks my ass. Not even beans(except limas). Whole grains make me not enjoy my company much :^D

I like wasteful, being an American who's too lazy to turn a car off and walk 5 feet is our birthright!! That being said, I always go in too. Not to save gas or the planet, just to be sure I get enough hot sauce. I don't trust the kid working the window to actually count out the entire 100 packets that I order.
