So here is an update: Pump gas again at shell and averaged 30.5. Costco in Illinois averaged 31. Seems to be the same. The first time was at a Costco in Wisconsin across the border.

Only once. Always been shell until I found Costco premium 93 for $1.80 so I gave it a try. Will have to try many more times. Just wanted to see if anyone has similar experience

I'll pump from both places throughout the summer and take note. Will update after the summer

I hear you but I am driving even faster deliberately with the shell gas to make sure I give the benefit of the doubt to Costco.

Yea that might be it. Or they allow more water lol

One difference is that the Costco is in Wisconsin (first time at this station) and the shell is in Illinois (the same one I always pump at)

Tried Costco gas on my GTI recently and noticed much lower mpg, 27 vs 32 with shell. I always use premium. Has anyone tried Costco premium and had better results? Maybe that's why Costco premium was $1.8/gallon compared to shell $2.7/gallon. Thanks

I'm trying to change my 2019 (mk7.5) GTI S, low beam halogen bulbs but when I twist the bulb housing out, I see an electrical wire linked to the housing. Looking at videos on mk7, they don't have the wire connected to the bulb housing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I had buzzing sound from the fuel line at 1700 rpm which they fixed. Now the same buzz sound happens at 3500 rpm. Anyone had this issue?

I did fell into deep depression by your comments. I drove my GTI into a pond and now live in solitude pondering how life would have been different if I just paid the extra $1k for the DSG. So I'll be waiting for that gift card as well...

Thanks for the helpful tips. As an update, I have gotten pretty smooth at shifting. The big gear ratio from 1st to 2nd still cause some jerkiness if I'm lazy to smooth out the clutch. If I'm in a hurry I don't wait for the rpm to match before letting off clutch; if that case I do let the clutch...

Lol. You have too much pride my friend... But thanks for the help.

I wasn't aware I had radar in my car. I bought the cheapest trim. Thanks everyone

It's yellow or orange. Not sure why that's so. Thanks

Can anyone help me figure out what this warning is? It was on when I was driving today. Doesn't show anymore. It snowed a bit when I was driving. Thanks
