    Maybe they've gotten better, but 10mins or less for a line that I assume has at least 5-6 cars in front of you doesnt seem realistic. Even for smaller cars, filling up takes probably 5 mins from pull in to pull out if youre quick. Used to drive me nuts as a kid when my mom would sit in those monster lines to save $2 haha

    I usually put close to 18 gallons per fill up. My Costco’s gas is $2.70 for 91 oct. right now. Everywhere else is close to $3.90-$4 a gallon for 91 oct. I usually wait about 5 mins in line, but it’s the difference from me spending $50 at Costco, or spending $70 to fill up elsewhere. That is worth it to me, saves me that $20 dollar bill a week with how often how often this truck drinks.

    Damn! Costco's premium is $2.70 right now?? That's probably 15 cents cheaper than the cheapest 87 oct. i've seen anywhere.

    Yeah $20/wk is a lot different than $2-3 haha

    Yes it is, the new one they just put in off Hamner in lower Ontario has it right now. I was surprised it's even cheaper than Sam's club ($2.90 a gal for 91) and Von's gas right now. I'm optimistic and hope it stays that way, but I'm definitely enjoying it now while I can haha.

    i use my costco credit card so not only do i save on the gas prices each fill but i get a nice check at the end of the year of a few hundred dollars on just gas money i spend there from the cash back rewards.

    $3-5 bucks could be a Costco hot dog w/ a drink, possibly with a slice of pizza. :rolleyes:

    Also, if not running on E and/or Rotopax are filled with fuel, we could pass if we look ahead and see there’s a long line. Then, try at another time or try another Costco for a shorter line. We have three Costcos in the SFV that are relatively close to each other and close to home/work for me. From what I’ve noticed, early morning and near closing time have the shortest lines for gas at Costco.

    Close, but not me ... haha. I’ve seen a few inferno colors in Glendale besides mine :)

    Getting a DeMello aluminum front bumper installed this week. That should make my inferno just a little different soon

    Agreed. I have a GX470 and a LX470 (LC 100). They are amazing. 80 series is probably the best all around though IMO.

    There's a dental hygiene snorkel joke in there somewhere.
