I’m jealous, the Costco’s around my neck of the woods are like Times Square on New Year’s Eve no matter what time you go.Only gotten gas at Costco once or twice, always busy but a couple of times could have drove right in. No big deal.
Costco Gas - Very much worth the membership cost.

I wonder why you would quote me referring to Walmart gasoline with several links to Costco gasoline...I know Costco gasoline is Top Tier...I've been using it solely for 7 years...

I rarely have to wait to fill up at any of the local Costco gas stations but there are several to choose from so that may be why they aren't always backed up...

85 is the 87 in higher altitudes. I have had three Silverado pickups and have run 85 in all of them without any issues what-so-ever. You may want to research this as to why in higher elevations 85 is offered and not 87.
The octane requirements are based on sea level. +800ft elevation -1 octane.
At the lowest point in Colorado(~3300), you can safely use 83 octane fuel.
this has to be just in my head, but does anyone feel they get less MPG with costco compared to Shell or Chevron? maybe i just slam the pedal more because it is cheaper lol.
I see the same truck delivering fuel at my local Costco that I see at other stations.
Same here.
Costco changes their filters both at the tank and at each pump every 60 days.
The fuel is fresh.
The fuel is fresh.
It sure doesn't shut around in their tanks. I see the fuel truck delivering there mornings and evenings when I'm driving by.
They change the pump filters whenever the pump flows less than 7 gpm.

My source is the Costco employee who changes the filters.
Okay.

Never thought I would see more consumers challenged to fill a vehicle fuel tank than Costco members in California. Observing them in the line gives one a sense they are super educated...... and deeply lack critical thinking. Like every time they open the fuel door .... is like they never did it before. Every single step from pulling up to the pump to getting a fuel purchase receipt and all steps in between... seems to be quite the challenge for so many California Costco members purchasing their fuel at Costco.... but we all know they only buy their fuel at Costco so they can get the one percent rebate or whatever it is.....
Well, I am wrong. Sam's Club consumers in Columbia, SC area are even more challenged in putting fuel in their vehicle. For a very different reason than California Costco members. In Columbia, Sam's Club members struggle to understand the one way in, one way out of the fuel station. They also seem to want to cut the line..... easier leaving a parking lot at the end of a fireworks show than getting fuel at a Sam's Club in Columbia, SC in a orderly/ timely manner.
Still worth the nuttiness' of buying premium fuel at such a good discount at Costco and Sam's Club....
Maybe a nice dissertation doctorate subject for a psychology major on why California Costco members and South Carolina Sam's Club members are so wacky purchasing fuel.......

I buy Costco gas while my wife shops on our monthly trip to the big city..what amazes me are the number of women who wait in line to pump gas for 20 seconds. Is that maybe 4 gallons? They must fill up by habit or by schedule. I’m buying 16+ gallons and wouldn’t wait in that line to save 80 cents total on 4 gallons.Never thought I would see more consumers challenged to fill a vehicle fuel tank than Costco members in California.

Flow rate is only one of the parameters. My source was the Costco employee. He did say there was a time limit on them also. I would think the very busy Costcos would have to change by flow rate.
