Costco gas

It really depends on the location. I've gotten bad gas from Costco before (from their food court too). I started going to my local Costco's fuel last year when prices were so high. Almost a $1 a gallon cheaper at times compared to anywhere else and it's been fine, no issues. Probably since they sell so much of it. Seems like a fuel truck is dumping off every time I go. I do add my own Techron fuel injector cleaner though.

 

25+ years of Costco gas, 110k on the Tacoma, and never an issue with the gas.

The issue you're having was similar to a lot of others and maybe resolved by a tune. Mine was.

 

Was going to post this. Even if you think Top Tier is snake oil, Costco is on this list and like others have said, cheaper by nearly $1 here in Seattle. Would I pay more just to make sure it’s certified Top Tier? No, but of all the brands listed, I’d rather hit one of them up vs Bud’s Butthole Gas N’ Save or the like.

 

98% of the fuel we purchase for the new RAV4 or my Taco is from Costco. The remaining 2% would be from Chevron if I'm not making the 12 mile trek northbound or the 14 mile trek southbound to either of the 2 Costcos I have in my locale. I always pump the 87 octane for both rigs and can't say that either run poorly but for the sake of hard core science, a 4# bucket of Jelly Belly's, and my weekly rotisserie yard-bird for the BBQ grill, I'm at 1/4 tank on the Taco so I'll go north and fill up with 91 and see if there is a noticeable difference in performance.

 

I always hesitated getting gas at Costco because ew gross I’m not using discount gas in my truck.

Then I learned it’s a top tier gas, so it’s going to be just as good as other top brands. With the exception of shell power v.

 

That's my southern Costco destination with SLO being my northern. Even in the middle of the day, The Santa Maria mega-site flows pretty fast and is without a doubt, the cleanest and likely safest spot in the entire city! SLO is very small by comparison and the initial merge to the pump lanes is an absolute cluster fuck thanks to some highly stupid members but the trick is always bare hard left for the extreme left bank of pumps. Everybody seems so anal about lining up on the "proper" side to have your Gashole facing the pump when in reality, the hoses are YUUUGE and it's easy to stretch to the opposite side. The left bank is often near empty due to this phenomenon. Also, go in after 7pm and it's deserted!

 

But they mix in 3 3/4 #'s of flavored jelly beans.

 

The reason there is generally no wait at Chevron is because they are usually more expensive!

Well here you have it from the Car Care nut
Costco on Maui is $3.99, for reg, anywhere else is a lot more
My truck runs fine
........tomorrow is Friday

 

aa^

But vomit flavored beans need the love, too!

 

CostCo … long waits. The pumps open early. Visit 45 minutes before the store opens and your wait will be very short … maybe no wait.

Otherwise; I am continuously amazed at so many folks’ inability to pay and pump their own gas. Perhaps this is fodder for a YT channel?

 

Ever since I got my OTT tune I run either Costco Premium or Mobil/Exxon. Never had any issues here in Metro NY.

 

costco gas was good but i know if a few peeps that hate it. they say its booty gas maybe its the line but i always fill up at odd hours and if they have a car wash that has a bidet to wash out the taco grease that builds up under neath

 

in soul cal they spray anticorrosion stuff too

man I let my membership expire...I gotta get on that! Not for the fuel...for the roast chicken. For the kitchen rubbish bags.

 

chicken bakes and those frozen chimichangas too

 

Why is this in the 3rd gen section?

 

$2.999 a gallon 87 RON at Costco in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho (usually cheaper than Costco in Spokane, WA). I haven't noticed any problems with the 4-cylinder powered '07 Malibu or '09 Tacoma...

 

Let me help, the question is about the quality of Costco gas. Belongs in the General forum. Could be asked about a Prius as well.
