Costco Gas – Fullerton

Lowest price for top tier gas in the area. Great place to buy things in bulk like paper towels and toilet paper.

Normally I would knock down a star since the wait here is always so INSANELY long! (except for two time frames: right before they close, and right when they open)
Anyway, cheapest gas in town, hands down. I got gas two days ago and it was $ 1.97 a gallon. Beautiful.
My only suggestion would be to be ready to wait if you’re going from anywhere from 11AM-​7PM. So plan ahead. Otherwise, come early or late enough and you’ll be in and out in no time!

Ever since I started pumping gas at Costco, I’ve saved so much money every month on gas! It really adds up! I pump Premium gas every time (because of my car) and I have a 20-​gallon tank, so those few cents per gallon really add up to a lot of savings! I save about $ 15 – 20 each time by going to Costco gas. The line seems long, but it goes by fast. Usually the wait is about 10 mins on crowded times/​days, otherwise I go late at night or mid-​day when it’s empty and the wait is only a few minutes if even that! I highly recommend!

This is my go to gas station. I usually go after work, and so does everyone else. So expect long lines after work hours. And it can be rough getting in from Harbor Blvd, cause it can get congested. Otherwise, the price is always a bargain compared to the other gas stations. Best thing is, if you’re not in a rush and want to grab a bite, get a hot dog or pizza or chicken bake and wait a bit and hope that the line dies down. If not, do a bit of shopping.

The ONLY place I get gas. Love the fact that the prices are always 10 – 20 cents less than other gas stations. The wait is a little crazy. So it’s always best to go when you’re not in a hurry.

Perfect spot to stop and fill up close go to the freeway best prices and I can pay with my credit card! Points cash back!

Just like any other Costco gas station, they have the cheapest price for unleaded. The secret is to avoid the weekend and try to fill up in the AM on your way to work. Just plan it ahead of time and you won’t have to worry about the horrific lines you see on the weekends.
Don’t worry about which side your gas door is on because the pump hose is plenty long. Please don’t be that person that tries to sneak around and back up to a pump SMH.
Thought: It sure would be nice if they sold pizza right next to the filling stations.
Enjoy!

Well, not much to say other than it’s Costco Gas right?
Always one of the cheapest per gallon in the area 2.49/gal today!
only negative is location of the pumps, it makes getting to the gas line a bit difficult and when there is a few cars lined up waiting, you end up blocking the parking lot or from one side, in the street.
other than that, if you have large gas tank to fill, it is worth the wait… usually

My job requires me to drive around a lot and gas can be quite costly. Having a hybrid sure helps, but I still find myself getting gas about twice a week. Getting costco gas is much cheaper than getting gas anywhere else.
This costco gas station is relatively convenient to me so I find myself coming back here often. The downside to this location is that they have less lanes than other costco gas stations. The flow of traffic is definitely not the most optimal either, but people still come back since the gas here is so affordable.
They open as early as 5:30am on weekdays and 6:00am on the weekends so you should try to get gas early in the morning before they get busy. Sundays afternoons/​evenings are probably the worst days to get gas with everyone filling up before the workweek begins.

I am not really a big fan shopping at Costco. I just wish the cashiers know the basics of customer experience. They must all attend a training to be rude to your customers. Like, make sure you guys don’t acknowledge your customers. Lesson two, make sure you eat and drink in front of them. Don’t say thank you or you will get a write up. You must always talk to your peers while you have a customer in front of you. And on and on. I am giving 3 stars because of Cookie, the only friendly person in this location. Very Sad! I thought they get pay well, the way they work gives me the perception that these people get pay below min wage. I can give names too, but too many!!!
Customer Service: 0÷5…

Unfortunately I cannot afford an electric car just yet, until then, this is the place to get gas! The prices are phenomenal and the gas is supposedly very good, which I believe based on the quality of all of the other products that Costco carries.

I prefer to come at 5 or 6 am when there are hardly any cars and no pressure if you need to clean out your car. During the busy times the lines can lead out into the street. «The pressure»

I went during the week in the early afternoon (at 11ish) and the lines were so crazy that they caused traffic to leave the lot.
Honestly, it wasn’t worth saving I think $ 3.00 to go here versus Arco. My time is worth more.

The gas is always cheaper at Costco which also means the line is a lot longer. This gas station is located right next to the 91 fwy. so I’m constantly filling up here before heading out to the I.E. There’s always an attendant on site and they’re constantly refiling the underground tanks. I usually try to get gas on a weeknight at around 8:45 when there’s hardly any line. Don’t go on Sunday afternoon because that’s when it’s the crazy busy and bumper to bumber. My mechanic says Costco gas is equivalent to Arco quality but my old automotive instructor says it’s just as good as Chevron. I like to think it’s a step above Arco but I couldn’t tell you the difference.

Apparently Fullerton-​ians don’t get up on Saturday mornings for gas. Was able to drive by at around 9am, had to wait in line with 3 cars ahead of us, and then pumped our gas. In and out pretty quickly.
For the ones that did arrive early to get gas, some of them were… interesting. I try not to come here when it’s more mid-​day. But, yes, no issues. But, be warned, you do want to likely avoid this place during the more normal hours.

NOTHING BEATS COSTCO GAS PRICES!
Costco Gas is always at least 10cents cheaper than the cheapest gas station that you can find. The workers are always super friendly, smiling, asking you how you are doing, etc. Also, I like that they clearly post the hours they are operating on each gas machine so you never have to ask the workers. Lastly, they also tell you way in advanced if the gas station will be closed on certain holidays or for any extended period of time.
It’s best if you enter the gas area from Harbor instead of going through the complex area and then going to the gas area. TIP! People don’t usually go ALL the way to the right side, so that line is kinda shorter than most of the other lines. DON’T be the person that blocks the entrance by waiting for that station when there are other lines.

Cheap gas but try to avoid getting gas on a Sunday. It gets really busy! We’ve waited for over half an hour one time!

Gas is better from Costco!
I do try to avoid it when the lines are ginormous but it’s worth the wait if you’re not in a hurry.
I suggest coming at the off peak hours: around opening hours, after lunch rush & near closing.
Do as I say not as I do. Try not to wait til you’re on E because when you finally decide to go get gas, is when the line will be huge!
Sounds ridiculous but plan ahead.

The 3 stars go to just the price of gas alone. It’s always gonna be 10 to 15 cents cheaper than all the other regular gas stations. Since im from Las Vegas, the gas there is even cheaper by 30 cents more.
I always go to this location every time before I head back to Vegas since I stay with family only a few exits away off the 91. Since gas is so damn expensive in Socal, I think everybody went and got a membership just for the gas alone.
Design wise where this gas station is situated is horrendous. You not only have cars coming from the parking lot, but you also have cars coming from the busy street of Harbor Blvd. On most days during peak hours, traffic gets really backed up and you have to wait a significant amount of time. I swear I burn at least a quarter gallon just waiting to fuel up. Remember that the pumps only take American Express and Debit cards only.
In closing, im glad I made the move to Vegas, because the gas is cheaper, there is no traffic, and all the Costco Gas Stations don’t get backed up this bad because of how the layout has been designed with a lot of room in mind.

Costco can be a mad house. This also applies to its food court and gasoline station. Costco members will flock from all around to line up in crazy long lines just to get cheaper gas. And I admit, I’m one of those Costco members!
Gas typically is 10 cents cheaper at Costco as compared to the other competitive gasoline brands nearby. Based on my analysis, Costco’s gas prices are roughly the same price as cash price at the ARCO stations nearby, but still cheaper than the cash prices of the Shell, 76, and Chevron stations nearby.
The best times (as many have mentioned) are early mornings or late evenings (30 min before closing). I have made the unfortunate mistake of coming here during dinner time (~6PM) as well as on weekends (noon time) and have had to wait 15 – 20 minutes+ just to fill my gas tank. Not sure how much gas I wasted from waiting in those long lines! My favorite time to come is around 8−9PM, after I finish working and/​or eating dinner and when there aren’t too many cars getting gas!
Overall, Costco’s products are a great value — from its wholesale items, food court, and their gasoline. I recommend coming here during an off time, since that can maximize your cost savings (less waiting, less gas wasting). Overall, a solid 4 stars. Thanks Costco!
