Costco Gas Station

Great prices in gas and the hours of operation are great. All Costco gas stations can be very busy you are must likely going to be in line waiting your turn. This location in particular can take longer because they make you go around the main costco parking lot. If you are planning to come to this location make sure you don’t do it during rush hour. They have cones to separate the Main Costco warehouse parking lot from the gas station. They also made the gas station have its own entrance. This makes it a lot easier to just go to the gas station without getting inside the busy Costco parking lot. The non busy hours during the week are in the morning before 3PM and after 7PM. On the weekends in the first three hours of the day and the last 3 hours of the day. Other than that you are looking to wait in the long lines.

Costco has the best prices for gas about 90% of the time. This Costco is in a great location between 805 and 15. This gas station can have very long lines. The lines seem even longer now that Costco has changed the layout of the lines wrapping around the gas station. This now causes problems with people trying to park and trying to exit.
Each row of pumps has two pumps and the hoses are long enough so you can pull up to either side of the pump.
I used to think Mission Valley was the worst but now this Costco is the worst for gas. If it wasn’t for the bad line layout this gas station would have 4 star.

I am one of those people that will stand in line 10 minutes to save… well, dollars! I have actually timed how long from getting in line to filling up it takes. Ladies and Gentleman, 10 to 12 minutes on the weekend. This might seem crazy to some. But, for me it is worth it. Plus, Costco has strict rules on changing their fuel filters, and that is just another reason I choose to stand in line.
Due to recent fuel price changes. This location has changed the way you enter the fuel line. They have attendance who escort the traffic and guide you to the shortest line. This enables the efficiency of the traffic. Horray! All in all a positive experience.
I am sold… and I will be back.

Best gas prices I think compared to other costco. Good quality gas & price. There’s always a long line, which you would expect but it moves pretty fast though.

Costco 98% of the time has the best gas prices. Gas savings alone makes membership a no-​brainier.
One thing I like is that the station attendant keeps everyone moving right along and getting into the correct lanes.
They always provide extra service if you need it, as they are always there and on standby.
Go Costco!

Good quality gas at a good price ~ Costco membership has it’s privileges.
The best times to go are early in the morning or in the evening before they close. Other times, the lines can be rather long. People need to realize they don’t have to pull in on the side their tank is. The hoses are long enough to reach both sides. Normally I take advantage of the far left side and get in and out quicker.
The attendants need to do a better job of letting customers know when a pump is out of order. The last time I was in, the front pump had 2 cones in the space and I watched someone go around the truck in front of them, only to lose their place in line… I would have been upset if it were me.

Unilocal 100 challenge 2015. Costco is great for gas it is so cheap, the lines may be long but worth it in the end for your wallet. The one here is not that long of a wait… I feel people really don’t know about the market costco one on gateway…

The Mt. Hope location is my Go-​To for gas. It is for Costco Members Only.
The gas is rated at the usual ⁸⁷⁄₉₁ Octane, and it has been certified as Top Tier. Although the Top Tier certification is mainly a marketing ploy, it does set quality standards.
Of course, any conversation about Costco will involve price. The Mt. Hope location is the cheapest in town, usually, even cheaper than Costco gas in high-​rent neighborhoods like Mission Valley. «Whatever the market will bear.»
An additional plus is the 3% cash back kickback from the Costco AmEx. The pump price is thus effectively lowered by that amount.
The cognoscenti hit this station in the early morning hours, say before 7:30, to avoid the inevitable lines. Late at night works, too. However, if you are running on fumes, and the lines are long, take respite in the fact that the lines move pretty swiftly. Costco has been adding a third pump to each line which has been very helpful in moving the line at other stations. Not sure if the Mt Hope station will get that improvement.
Be prepared for the occasional clueless moron ahead of you who does everything in slo-​mo, like slowly ambling to the pump, studying it quite thoroughly, carefully removing the gas cap, trying every single credit card in his/​her wallet before accidentally finding the one that works, and finally, after figuring out that the gas nozzle must be placed in the car’s tank filler, and mulling over certain buttons that must be pressed on the pump, they initiate the gas flow. Then slowly amble back to sit in the car, clueless while the pump clicks off, and they just sit there.
Yes, you know who you are.

This Costco has the best gas prices in town (much better than the MV location). You’ll save at least $ 0.20 or so on average in comparison to other gas stations.
Don’t be turned off by the queue. It may appear super long but moves quite fast.
Note that you can pull up on any side of the pumps as the hose extends and can loop around your vehicle. Cheers to that!
Grab yourself a hotdog and churro to reward yourself for saving some $$$ at the pump. =P

Cheap gas, i always pump gas before 7 am on my way to work. No line just pull up. Convenient they open pumps at 5:30 am.

Costco gasoline has the best prices in town.
This location has 16 pumps that are always available. You need to have a Costco

People are always here in line to buy gas but the lines move fairly quickly.
This station is clean and maintained well. The Costco staff member that works in this area is generally friendly.
The entrance to this gas station is awkward and you should use care when pulling into it because other cars are also pulling in.

good hours of operation. Mon-​Fri 5:30am-9:30pm, Sat. 6:00am-8:00pm and Sunday 6:00am-7:30pm.

This Costco has Very Poor customer service. The lines are always long, even the return line. I waited about 20 minutes yesterday to return three items. Then went shopping, there were only a few cashiers, finally just left my cart and just walked out. This store insists to run the floor cleaner when people are shopping, they always seems to be in the way and I have almost slipped on wet floor several times, I’m ready to call the store manager directly next time I am there, standing in the f***en line or slipping on the floor.

Low gas prices, and I only had wait in line for about five minutes to get to the pumps. I pumped my gas, and was on my way.

This is by far my favorite Costco Gas Station. I purchased a Costco membership primarily so that I can take advantage of their gas. It has been a great investment.
Let me make some things a little more clear.
–You must have a membership card in order to pump gas.
–Approved methods of payments are AMEX, DEBIT, Costco Cash Card. NO CASH.
–I find that the line is always faster if you stay towards the left hand side.
I find the lines here much shorter than the Costco in Mission Valley and off of Morena Blvd.

This was my first time here that day. I was very excited and had cash in hand. After a semi-​long line it was finally my turn. HUH? NO CASH? I wished someone had told me or that I read a Unilocal review prior to my arrival. The prices were still exceptional. I was really happy with getting my gas here. Thanks Costco

Lines are long but gas is cheaper, quality is questionable but convenience is the tiebreaker.

It’s got pretty easy access, and the line usually isn’t too terrible. It’s nice that the hoses are long enough to reach around the vehicle no matter which side you pull up in. Just make sure you’re a member and you have to pay with debit!

I love all Costco Gas Stations, and this is no exception.
This is usually (BY FAR) the cheapest place to buy gas, and that’s probably because you have to have a Costco membership to patronize their locations.
Also, they do not accept cash. You can pay by debit card or American Express card ONLY. Regular credit is not even accepted.
Go to the pump with the shortest line — the pumps are actually designed to stretch across cars, so you don’t get stuck waiting.

When the gas prices go up the more that people come to Costco to buy gas, because it’s anywhere from $ 0.10 to $ 0.20 cents per gallon cheaper, and that will save you a few dollars.
You need to have a current membership, because you’ll have to put your Costco card into the gas pump and then you have to pay with a debit card or American Express card. They DO NOT take cash at the pumps.
They lines can be long at times, but they move relatively quick

i am here twice a week…60 mile RT commute in a minivan…= pricey!
this station used to be empty… no lines… no stress… but whenever gas prices creap up, people get more aware of what they are spending and suddenly everyone wants to go to Costco for gas… and the lines get long! really really long! makes me want to spend more money and go elsewhere… but i don’t.
here’s the down… this has happened 3 times… i’m in line getting gas… it’s my turn and the pump in front is vacant so i go to swing around the car at the back pump… before i know it a car drives up all the way from the back… without waiting in line… and swoops in! $#!hole! the person looks like they may be packing… so whatever…
be prepared
