Costco price of regular in Orange County, California differs as much as $0.42/gal, $3.43 at Cypress location and $3.85 at San Juan Capistrano.
Normally, Costco price is about 10-30 cents less than closest name brands such as Shell, Chevron ... But now a Shell station in San Juan Capistrano is selling regular for 6 cents less than Costco at $3.79.
As far as I know almost all items in a Costco are priced the same as any other Costco in the same state, but gasoline price is different, 1 location can have it lower than others by 10-20 cents or more a gallon.
Is it gouging or different station buying gas from different distributor so that their price may not be the same ?
