Default Costco Gas

So all these threads about gas prices have been coming up got me thinking about using my new club card. Do any of you use Costco gas? I was thinking about trying it out but I'm not quite sure. I just joined the club because they opened a new one less then 5 minutes away from my work.

Not worth it. THe lines are supper long, and the prices are average compared to any other cheap-o gas stations.

Stick to Costco for the occasional artery-clogging pizza and bulk toilet paper.

Costco gas is fine. Perhaps not at the level of chevron and shell, but it's nothing bad.

Not worth waiting in line though. Go early or late to avoid the lines.

Costco gas is just fine I have used it for years in all of my vehicles with no problems. If you fillup either early or late in the day there are usually no lines, gas is approx 15 - 20 cents per gallon cheaper

+1 ... although I;d have to say that a walmart I went to in Fountain Valley has nobody in line, while the costco was a 45 min wait (and you have to watch for those crazy doctors with tire irons coming after you)

Costco does do a good job of keeping their filters clean, though.

I've been using Costco gas for about 2 months and no effects after the switch from Chevron. Feels the same.

If I had a choice, I'd go chevron, 76 or shell over mobil.
