Costco Gas
Costco Gas
Anyone putting Costco gas in their IS (Premium Gas of course)? Wondering because it's the cheapest around my area...$2.77/gal. I'm not sure where Costco gets their gas from, I just don't want to put cheapo gas in my car.
wow...that must be nice its on avg about $3.30/gal for premium here??? i think you can get around $3.10/gal at some places. i have tried all of them and see no difference i do all hwy travel so i burn it quickly at high speeds. i avg the same off each tank.
i think that Costco and other places simply buy from where they will get a good deal from. so what you get isnt consistant from them but i am sure if would be just fine.

I've had a couple of friends that had bad experiences with Costco gas so I don't recommend it at all. All of them started hearing knocking noises after filling up with Costco gas. It wnet away after emptying they tank and refilling with Chevron or Shell. So from experience, I would say stay away.
humm, i love costco gas. we had a talk about this in my econ class the other day, n i learned in hawaii we only have 2 refiners costco gas is basicy shell or some other brand. so im not sure how it works on the mainland but in hawaii costco gas isnt generic

I've had no problems with discount brand gas stations like Valero, Raceway and Racestar. Near work, we only have first tier stations, so I also buy lots of gas from Exxon and BP Amoco. I manually calculate fuel mileage after every fill-up, and have seen no difference in economy or performance between the cheaper and more expensive brands.
