Quite naive of me, but I assumed Costco prices were Costco prices. I needed gas, and was going to hit my local Costco–but realized there was one just a couple of miles away on my way home.
Filled up and then checked Gas Buddy. My “home” Costco was $4.99/gal and I had just paid $5.13/gal just 8 miles away.
Not a huge amount of money wasted, but sometimes it’s the principle of the thing, you know? 😏
Just checked again. “My” Costco is now charging $5.09–up 10 cents in just a couple of hours.
The Costco mobile app shows you the gas price of each warehouse that has a gas station, so you can verify ahead of filling up.
