that's on cahuenga right by the 101 overpass in hollywood. lots of nice cars that require high octane fuel.. i'm sure the gas station owners thought they'd take advantage of that fact

$73. It's ridiculous. What's even more depressing is that prices are suppose to go up even more.

I'm going to start buying gas at costco again.

Uh oh. Ive only got 1/4 tank of gas left... I'll post up in this thread after i fill up.

As a side note, i saw $4.49 for premium on the PCH after i did a canyon run today.

Yeah, of course you could find it for less somewhere else, but just seeing that number is astonishing.

I won't buy Arco, but have used Costco on multiple cars without any problems. I don't think it's the same quality as chevron or shell, but I still think the quality is quite decent.

Try a search on here and elsewhere and I'm sure you'll get varying opinions. Some on here have claimed pinging with costco gas, but I'm not sure how much weight that holds as others have even had pinging with shell gas.

I haven't used costco for quite some time, but I think the biggest drawback is the wait. I'd rather pay more than wait in line. Early morning or late night is the preferred time to fill up.

I just filled up today $58 with the Fuel light on already. What is the average mileage on you guys cars? I hardly hit 220 or 230 miles on a full tank at best. I know I'm F/I but damn.............Any input? F/I or not? Also I used to have the issue most complained about before where you couldn't fill up completely and there was a TSB for it. I never had it done but its not doing it anymore. I have noticed though. I can never fill up more than 14 gal at most and the Fuel Gauge indicates is fuel but then the 220 miles for the tank puzzles me. I ask because a few posts up some guy said he filled 17 or 18 gallons.

I fill up about 2 or 3 times a week. I sold my beater daily driver now I MISS IT! Time for a new one.
