Sounds like it was just a pure accident and that Costco is standing behind their product by reimbursing repairs + adding $150 gift card. It could happen at any name brand gas station.

Maybe it could have, but it didn't happen at a top tier station.

It happened at a particular Costco station that lacked controls to prevent this kind of accident, therefore not acceptable.

When we were in America (for three weeks), we only used brand name fuel for our rental car (like Shell, Chevron or ConocoPhilips fuel stations)
