It is refreshing to see him post a thumbnail where he doesn't look like he is in GI distress or that he caught a finger in a doorjamb.

These complaints are just issues with new cars, not specific to electric cars. Subscriptions and all that garbage are becoming the new way of doing business, EV or ICE. Frustrating, but unless regulations come out that stop this sort of crap, it's only going to get worse.

Saying top tier is simply a marketing gimmick is assuming all refiners produce exactly the same quality gas, no difference between them. I find that hard to believe. There are certainly those that produce inferior gas just as some manufacturers supply better fluids, lubricants and oils.

Sure, except the refineries all produce for all the gas stations, and the differences is in the additive packages, not the base fuel. There's not like, tanks for shell, BP, Texaco, Chevron, Sam's club, Walmart, Costco, etc at the distribution hubs. They have tanks for gasoline, and the gas station brands put their specific additive package in.
