The Top Tier site lists none of the warehouse stores.

Sam's gas has worked just fine for me for over ten years and over 100K miles (probably much over).

The Top Tier designation indicates a brand has paid for the right to use the label for marketing and the gas sold by that brand meets a standard for a level of detergent. Foregoing the label simply means the brand has not paid for the marketing, but it does not mean the gas has less detergent. There have been other threads arguing over whether "Top Tier" is worth the extra cost - I choose to not go out of my way to pay for the additional marketing.
