Question Any Problems With Costco Gas?

Curious whether anyone has had problems with Costco Premium gas? Just paid $2.359/gallon - about 15 cents less than most of the other brands.

Thanks - Jeff

I've been using CostCo premium in my 5th gen Prelude for three years in Richmond, VA and have had no problems whatsoever. No knocks, no pings, nothing.... Btw I just filled up @ $1.999 per gallon here.

Costo buys gas from the lowest producer in that region on a weekly basis, so the gas is always going to be different. I fill my car with Costco gas here in California and I've had zero problems with it. Still above $2.38 though

I've used Costco Gas for the past three years on 4 different cars, no problem. But I do put in BG44K (whatever it's called) every 5K miles.
