Costco Gas

Has anyone purchased gas from here? Any good? I was there this morning and Prem Unleaded is 1.79/gal beats paying 2.20/gal at Union 76 or Cheveron

Costco gasoline is always cheaper than the regular priced gasoline (for the most part). The lower the price, the more the difference between Costco and others.

I have used the gasoline for many, many months with no problems.

gvtire, I live in that area, too. I've used Costco gas for my Accord for a few months with no problem.

I used to use Costco gas but unfortunately my car pings when I use it (yes, even their 92 octane).

I have been using Costco gas (92 octane)since I purchased my CL-S. I think I filled up the gas tank 3 times. So, is it bad if I hear the pinging sound? Should I switch to a different brand?

i can't remember which but between
cosco and amaco one of these companies are doing some dirty ass shiet
like water down the gas....if that is possible
i guess it means that the gas is nasty and for that reason the price is cheap....

pittsburgh has been relieved from the high gas prices recently and i paid $1.79 a gallon for 94 octain....pretty nice

what exactly does engine pinging sound like?
"ping ping"???

I asked a gut at Costco what brand of gas that is, and he said that they switch brands all the time. It depends on which companies have surplus and are willing to sell it to them cheap.
