It's a top tier gas and has one of the highest detergent levels.

Had an incident years ago where the car stalled multiple times after filling up at Costco. Never used it again.

As others have said, it's Top Tier just like Shell, Chevron, Union 76, Sunoco, etc. We've run our BMWs on it for 25 years never had problems. We run our current diesels on their fuel, although not all stations have diesel.

No mid-grade, just regular and 91/92. Pumps and stations are super clean. Always "fresh" gas and diesel; turnover is extremely high.

I only use Shell 91 unless I'm in a pinch. I don't have a Costco membership, is it really cheaper?

Right? I really can't believe that silly gas tax law was voted in, what a joke. It is California though....

In nj where I am half the time you don’t need a membership, although I have one. It’s consistently 30¢ cheaper a gallon and it’s 93.

my friend's brother working at costco gas station, he get paid 1 h overtime each day for taking the time with his phone/car to get the cheapest gas price in the area and lower the price 1 cent.

I don't know about all costcos, but here we dont have ethanol in costco gas.

If you already go to Costco it's worth it. Not worth it if you're just using it for gas, but Costco is the absolute tits so you should totes get a membership.

Yes, but the wait is annoying. I like Arco gas and it's the cheapest and it's down the street from my house. 3.99 for regular though so I'm not bent over when filling up the Lexus that I daily now.

Your guys gas prices are insane. Filled up with QT (Ethanol Free) 91 for 2.88 a gallon this morning. Never used Costco myself, but cool to see they have Ethanol Free

Costco gas if nearby. Clean Top Tier gas with well maintained equipment. And the price is right.

Costco has caused my Jeep to ping on several occasions. Never had any other brand do that. I gave up on Costco Gas and would not put it in my e92. E92 gets Shell or Mobile only.

It's the best price, but too far from my office. Alas, a new one is being built for 2020!! yeeeeehaw. I hate being 2nd class looking for premium. Some places have a good price on regular but then premium is 50+ cents more. Also now DE < NJ, and the Costco in DE is building a gas station (we shop there every maybe 3 weeks or so)...dang that is gonna be some good cheap 93!
