Costco, Sam's Club, X-brand gas - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #12416 21 posts Started by kuya1284
Well, since the recent increase in gas (YES, AGAIN!)... I decided to do some research on Costco gas, since they are the cheapest in my town. I've read that Costco usually buys from Shell, Mobile, Texaco, etc... depending on who's CHEAPER. I've also read that their gas is guaranteed to by additive free (which isn't necessarily always a good/bad thing).

Has anyone else done any intensive research on this? I know that I would end up paying for this before I did the swap... But $28.00 on gas every week to a week in a half really isn't helping my cause...

I'm gonna keep digging to see what I can find.

Sorry I don't have any definite extensive info on Costco, etc. gas. But I have plenty of friends and coworkers who use Costco gas and have no complaints or problems with their cars/SUV's.

Hear them all the time saying how much cheaper it is to buy their gas. You just have to be a member though.

I didnt even know Costco had gas stations...or how does that work? U buy in bulk?

And $28 every week and a half? Try $35 every 4 days, SUVs blow ass.

haha buy in bulk? For gas? hehe >biggrin.gif> That's funny.

No it's just like a normal BP, Shell, Mobile, etc. Just you can only buy gas there if you're a member. So, sign up and get cheaper gas. From what I've heard they're usually about 10 cents cheaper than what's usually out at other stations.

The gas is so Expensive here in Iceland that i pay around 80$ a week for gas on my GT4,
so im sorry if i dont feel your pain >tongue.gif>
yes! i use sam's club gas its $2.20 for the 91 rating. >smile.gif>

I normally spend about $50 a week lately(delivering pizza, 2 tanks a week). 93 just hit $2.00 this week. I remember 6 years ago it was $0.97 here.
I'm just glad I still have the 7A that gets 33+ mpg. >smile.gif>
