Costco Gas

Its not worth going out of your way to go to this gas station. Buf if you’re reasonably close by or you’re already going to any of the businesses in the shopping center, its worth it to fill up. It is usually ~40 cents less per gallon than area gas stations.
Caveat emptor: it can take up to 20 minutes before its your turn at the pump. So the real question is how much is your time worth?

COSTCO, THE $ 100.00 STORE!
Way back when, this Costco was the first Price Club my fam belonged to. It was where mom purchased her first microwave, dad probably purchased his first oversized something or other. It was the only shopping we did as a family. Woo to the hoo! Family night at Costco. Oy!!!
Anywhoo, it’s been a Costco since the merger in 1993. Not much has changed, still offers enough raw, frozen, and cooked food to feed several Armed Services, as well as drugs, both script and OTC, household items, auto items, entertainment items, HECK! It offers pretty much anything. And if you’ve ever been inside a warehouse full of «stuff,» you know, it’s not easy walking out the roll up doors without spending at least $ 100.00. Which isn’t bad if you have a big family, or purchase wisely, purchasing items that will last longer than a couple of weeks.
Most items found at Costco are typically less expensive than anyplace else. When Beloved Hunter, Springer Lab, was recovering from cataract surgery I had his scripts filled at Costco. Since his condition wasn’t covered by insurance, and he was on so many scripts, I had to determine the least costly place that would satisfy what he needed. Costco was the place. Even scripts for me that aren’t covered under my insurance are less expensive at Costco.
And we all know, based on peeps repeated check-​ins and posting of petrol prices to Costco gas is typically less than anywhere else. Sure, you need a Costco membership to shop, even fill up the tank, but do the math, I betcha the membership is paid for within a couple of months of just filling your tank. Maybe a bit longer for hybrids. The downside to filling up at Costco are the lines, however, Monday-​Friday they open at 5:30 a.m., Saturday and Sunday 6:00 a.m. there aren’t too many peeps filling up at that time. It’s fast and easy, no walking to a booth or inside a store to pay and retrieve change. Just swipe, pump, and go. It’s easy peasy!!! Having trouble pumping? There’s always a staff member walking around to getcha on yer way quickly.

This is the busiest Costco in America according to LA Times article. Chinese love a good deal so they hoarde en masse at this location centrally located between Alhambra and Monterey Park. The parking lot is a complete zoo. Someone backed into my bumper when I parked here and didn’t leave a note. This is also the only Costco I’ve ever been to where they won’t let you enter without a membership card in hand. This is extremely annoying because I always drop my spouse at the entrance to get a head start at fighting the mobs inside while I queue for 20 minutes at the endless gasoline line. But can’t do that here. Avoid this Costco at all costs if you can…

This has to be the crappiest layout and customers that I have an issue with here. You have to get through the lot first, wind through because of all the blocked lanes. Ugh… just writing about this place gives me a headache. Cheaper gas than the surrounding areas, but is one of the more expensive Costco (probably because of the location, and it being the only one within 20 miles — closest ones are in Burbank, Azusa, Industry. just to give you an idea).
Long lines, idiots who block the ONE entrance so you can’t make it to the shorter lines (actually no such thing, but a line further inside the station). I love Costco Gas. don’t get me wrong, it’s just this location is just one big FAIL. God forbid that they’re refilling fuel at the station — they close two lanes. TWO!
Overall I have no issues with the fuel or the service by the attendants. This location just has the lamest layout and no one thought of the issues when they drew the plans.

Lines lines lines yeah! Lines lines lines yeah! But this is one line I will fall in line anyday. The wait typically is less than 5 and I save save save yeah! Costco gas, you just rock! I love you like I love Virgin America, you’re cool, you’re hip with the prices, you’re a Rule Breaker for all gas stations and I keep coming back.
Visits: a few.
Tip: Costco employees scan gas pumps on the regular to make sure some a-​hole didn’t install a hacker tool to steal your credit card info. You’re a rule breaker Costco and I love you. Gas pump hoses are long so it doesn’t matter what side of the pump you pull up.

A major perk of having a Costco card is definitely being able to pump Costco gas. Costco gas is always at least 20 cents cheaper than other gas stations. There are only two options of gas to pump here; unleaded and premium. I always pump unleaded and I have never paid more than $ 50 to get a full tank. Thank the costco lords!!!
The wait time could sometimes take forever but is it worth the wait? I say definitely! Just make sure to give yourself enough time and go with the mindset of already knowing that you’re going to have to wait in line!
Saving a few bucks has never hurt anyone :)

Costco gas is always consistent: cheap gas and long lines. The lines usually go through pretty quick but you don’t want to go here if you need to be somewhere fast. If it’s a chill day where running errands includes grabbing something at Costco it works out.
Usually at least 20 cents cheaper than most gas stations per gallon and when gas prices take a hike Costco usually has a bit of a lag to catch up to it.

Cheap!!! cheap !!! Cheap !!!
But quality is great like Sxxxx gas !!!
They have lots of people wait for line but it is worth it :) !!! Get lots of time and enjoy quality of gas :)

The only reason I even come here is because there isn’t another Costco within 15 miles from me=(the line inside and at the gas pumps are always long and tedious, in fact I only go to the store now for hotdogs, going inside isn’t worth the stress of all the rude people that frequent this costco in droves. Somehow there is 95% chance that there will be a long ass line for gas. Actually it isn’t somehow I know exactly why their lines suck! There are a bunch of ridiculously inefficient people in line here! They do not drive up and fill every line, instead most of them wait to get in the first 2 lines and when one of the two spaces opens up, instead of driving around a car to get to the open spot they wait till the spot directly in front of them opens up. I even tried helping traffic a couple times by signaling to the person behind me that the spot in front was open and they just shook their head no and continued to hold up the line! Not to be racist but from all my observations here, the primary problem are a lot of the older asian people that frequent here. Unless you have to come here, STAYYYYY AWAY!

I love this place only because it’s always 30 – 40 cents cheaper than the surrounding gas stations (although always higher than other costcos). The line of cars waiting to get gas though? ALWAYS a long line that stretches out to the red light by Souplantation. ⁹⁄₁₀ times I go there’s always a huge line, no matter if I’m there at 9am, 12pm, 3pm, or 9:30pm there’s always a line. BUT, can’t complain because of the price :)

The biggest costco gas station and still always crowded! The prices at costco for gas are always a steal and the customer service is great! someone is always out there greeting you with a smile.
The customer pool sometimes is difficult to deal with because they delay traffic by not pulling up and make the line go way out of the entrance. Due to its popularity costco gas is always at least a 20 minute wait.

I love you Costco Gas for always offering the best prices on gas.
I hate you extremely long Costco Gas line… move so I can fill up alreadyyyyyy
That’s about it! Ya’ll the real MVP for gas. Thank You for staying cheap and if only it were 24÷7…
Debit & AX onlyyyy.

One of the most crowded costco gas stations. The line is always long, no matter what time of day, or weekend vs weekday. But overall, there are lots of pumps, a large waiting area and a relatively smooth in and out (over 30minutes average waiting time). There is always someone there to help you out if you need it too.

Costco in general speaks for itself. Majority of the time their prices are the cheapest. They are always busy during rush hours when everyone gets off.
I just love Costco period.

It gets extremely crowded and you deal with long long lines, which are the drawbacks.
Great prices, very efficient, dependable place, good customer service and the gas keeps my car running. Obviously the customers are pleased with the product so Costco needs to invest in more locations and/​or more service pumps.

I can imagine that if this is your first time to fill out it can be to navigate the Costco parking lot get to Costco Gas. Just follow the line of cars and don’t really look for the signage on where to turn in.
The cost of gas is slightly cheaper than outside gas stations, maybe 5 to 10 cents depending on where you fill up. So I think that people fill up here not just for price, but because they think the quality in their mind is better than the gas at say Arco or no name brands.
What I like about Costco Gas is that they have the pumps hoses that are long enough to reach no matter what side your gas fueling port is on on.
Tip: You don’t personally need a Costco membership to fill up, just have family or people who trust you enough to let you use their card and your own American Express card to put the charge on.

Really cheap gas! There are usually long lines, but it moves decently fast. If you are at Costco, you might as well stop here to fill up your gas tank.

Why write another review for Costco Gas? Because.
I definitely prefer the Costco Gas station along Telegraph Rd in Commerce. It’s way easier to get to the pumps, although the lines can get pretty long, too. With the Alhambra pumps, you have to go around the parking lot and then into the gas area which isn’t big to begin with.
That’s pretty much what I wanted to say. Oh, and that Ookook Korean BBQ and Souplantation is right next to Costco.

Costco gas became my default gas station after realizing they are cheaper than other local gas stations around my area.
PROS — gas is cheaper, not sure if it’s like Chevron Techron quality but hey, it’s Costco!
Everyone loves Costco! Even their gas!
They do have assistance for members that are not able to pump gas on their own freely at certain times. Which is very very thoughtful and maybe it’s by law
that assistance are required.
The gas station have new hours now!
CONS — sometimes the line does get long. Also, you need Costco membership card AND American Express/​Costco American Express/​Debit Card in order to pump.
I guess Costco never disappoints anyone. Just at times when the line is so long that it does gets to me.

This is some pretty good gas that Is cheaper by 10 — 15 cents than outside gas stations. Better than ARCO gas. A couple of my cars are sensitive to cheap gas, but Costco is all right.
Get some gas while shopping at Main Store.
