PASADENA, Calif. — If Saturday’s performance at the Rose Bowl is any indication, the 2023 Colorado Buffaloes may have already peaked.Unless the Buffs offense figures things out quickly, the drop-off could be steep.CU’s offense no-showed in its Pac-12 showdown against No. 23 UCLA, garnering only three points off four first-half takeaways. The Buffs didn’t find the end zone until late in the fourth quarter of a 28-16 defeat to the Bruins, and only managed 255 total yards.Along the way, CU wasted two flashy interceptions by star cornerback Travis Hunter, demonstrated an inability to block UCLA’s tough defensive front, and fell to 4-4 on the year following a 3-0 start that had Coach Prime’s crew as the talk of the nation.The Buffs mustered only 38 rushing yards in the defeat, another one-dimensional performance that’s become a staple of play-caller Sean Lewis’ offense this year.With four games left, CU still needs two wins to become bowl e...

Who has better gas between Costco and Sam's Club?

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 05:14:57 GMT

Many people flock to warehouses like Costco and Sam's Club with high hopes of getting the best deal on the price of fuel and although both places offer similar savings, there's a stark difference in the quality of gas they pump. The most notable difference between Costco and Sam's Club is that one provides Top Tier gas while the other does not.A study written by Consumer Reports stated that, "Not all gasoline is created equal. There is plain old regular, and then there is regular gasoline that meets a higher standard, known as Top Tier.” Winter gas is returning: What does that mean for your wallet? Top Tier is recognized as a high-quality fuel performance specification in fuel that was developed by some of the leading automotive and heavy-duty equipment manufacturers, according to Top Tier's website. Top Tier gas can reduce build-up deposits on fuel injectors and on intake valves. This can restore engine performance, vehicle responsiveness, and fuel economy.In 2016, AAA...
