I think it's mostly the additive packages and cleaners that make the difference. Also the quality of the filters installed at the physical pumps.
The gasoline might arrive from the same truck for different stations, but how those stations treat it and pump it could be quite different.
Are all Costco's top tier?
I know the one by me has Top tier because they advertise it on the pumps. I've been using their 91 (Utah elevation, we don't have 93 at most pumps) for years, it's been great.
If I'm not around it or at home, I usually get Chevron because of their Techron additives.
I have a cheap $60 one from Amazon that has been pretty good so far.
I haven't messed with the Gorilla ones, that's unfortunate that they didn't work as expected.

I might be misunderstanding what you're looking for, but D-Ring Shackles give a good hook point with the modular bumper.
Some say they're pierced nipples on a Bronco, but my Bronco likes them tugged on, so... I guess she's okay with them.
So weird!
I wonder if an animal was putting stuff in there for whatever insane reason, but I dunno...
I really wish you the best with figuring this out, and getting it repaired.
Honestly... I just use these stupid things everywhere. Super cheap, has a carabiner, and provides plenty of light. If I need more light, I just grab a second one. 😆
I think it was $10 for 5 of them.
(dunno how many will get this movie reference)
Well, I couldn't tell you about yellowing since it would be hard to notice on my particular color, but I've loved it. It'll be 5 years this fall, and it's holding on great.
I've been using my factory plates since I bought it, and have had zero issues with them.
Maybe I'll do a video later to show the scratches they've withstood, but they're great and I trust them fine. I've definitely used my sliders a lot as well, and they're awesome. Plus, the hide the pinch weld...
Hey, your limit is your limit, and absolute props for knowing where you draw the line.
A lot of "experts" will do things they have no business doing.
When you've got a spotter or a group, it can help you work through some obstacles without as much pressure, knowing you've got people around...
