Costco Gas Station

Great place to get a cheap gas and then go inside for shopping. Using this Costco for over 14 years and really happy that finally they builded a gas station there. No any complain.

Close to my home and that’s the best thing about it. Oh wait, the gas prices are awesome too. You definitely have to either wake up super early or go here super late in order to beat the rush. If you get stuck during the rush, you’re looking at about 15 – 25 minutes waiting in line just to get gas.
I’m glad that they blocked off the other entrances because in the past they had a problem with cars that would sneak in and cut in front of you. In any case, they resolved that issue. Anyhow, their personnel are nice and they always walk around to make sure that everything is working at every station. I’ve never really seen them just stand around and not talk to anyone. Lastly, they keep this establishment quite clean.

Hands down the best gas prices in town. Go on a weekday for the shortest lines. We love going grocery shopping and then getting gas right afterwards. The line looks long but it goes by quick. It’s a great feeling to know that you are saving money on gas.

4 stars for how fast the line moved! I was pretty impressed.
Gas here is a bit higher than my usual Costco, but I didn’t care. I was happy to pay costco prices versus a regular gas station.
When I’m in the area and need gas, I’ll be back.

Come to the Costco gas at lower prices then everyone else but come at 8:30 to 9:00 am. There is no line. Why wait in line for 20 – 30 minutes during the busy times.

This has got to be one of the busiest Costco gas stations I’ve been to. The reason I come here: gas is at least 20 cents to 70 cents cheaper than other gas stations and its around the corner from my office.
The key to Costco gas is timing. They are incredibly busy during the lunch rush (11 – 1 ish) and you can easily wait 20 minutes before you get to the pumps. I have come in where the line of cars is wrapped out to the street, everyone fighting to turn in. I will say they have a good amount of pumps and people are in and out pretty quickly considering the amount of traffic.
If you come first thing in the morning, right before the evening rush hour or even after say around 7pm there is normally only maybe a 1 or 2 car wait. There is always a staff member out and about if you should need help. Overall definitely come here if you want quality gas on the cheap!

Line here actually moved kind of quickly. They always have a staff member there to help people out if they need it. Gas is cheap here and has similar fuel additives as Chevron and Shell. Have your membership card and debit card ready while waiting in line to make everything quicker.
It’s better to go here early or really late to avoid long lines. Avoid the lines with large trucks/​SUVs in it.

I am loyal to Costco and their gas prices!
The gas prices here are always about 95% cheaper than most places.
And I do have a lot of friends who are skeptical about costco gas simply because it is cheaper, but you must do your research, and you will find out that costco gas is «top tier» and if you do not know what that means, then I suggest you look it up!
Although the lines here do get ridiculously long, it goes by a lot faster than you think. But you will spend probably a good 10−30minutes waiting.
I only wish that they build more gas stalls at this location to make the process faster, like the location in mission valley. The one in mission valley has three stalls per lane instead of two, and its always fast.
And the shape of the gas station parking lot is kind of funky and the lines are always curved with cars in the way if you want to get to the far right.
Overall, it’s a great for the prices and also safe because they always have employees monitering the gas stations!

Best price in town. Come early no line. Otherwise, be prepare 20 minutes to filled up.

Well… it’s Costco and the gas prices are great! But it’s Carmel Mountain Ranch so it gets crowded and the way the entrance is set up is less than stellar. We turned into the lot and once we saw how long the line was, we wanted to get out of it, but we couldn’t. So we waited, and waited.
My husband said he will NEVER go back here. I would go if I was in the area — but the Poway Costco Gas station is WAY better (more pumps, wider lanes) and has a car wash as well.

Good prices for gasoline. It seems to always be pretty busy. I wish the prices were lower than Arco’s though considering I pay for the membership.

Okay, I’m a little spoiled. I’m used to cheaply priced, top tier Costco gas prices and convenience.
At this particular Costco Gas Station, you only get half of that. This station, compared to the other San Diego Costco Gas Stations, is more cramped and not SUV friendly. Good luck going around the guy in front, if you’re done gassing up and he’s not. The exit lanes are narrower and there are only two pumps per lane. Pump waits are longer, as a result. Basically, it’s like they tried to fit 15 lbs of meat in a 10 lb bag. Also, if the giant 18 wheeler gas truck is refilling the fuel reservoir, it gets even MORE cramped, making it tougher to navigate.
The hairpin turns to enter and exit the fueling lanes from the parking lot driveways can make refueling at this station a bumper denting adventure. There can be a line to exit as well it is to enter. A pain the ass, huh?
I’d stick to Poway Costco Gas nearby if you’re not flying on vapors.
You’re trading lower gas prices with patience here.

Yes! Cheap Gas!!! Yes!!!
Key here is getting in at the right time of day (not telling my secret, it’s just trial and error folks), so good luck with that :)
Only one issue for me at Costco gas: How come the place is always half full of «Prii», i though the big sell on those was NOT having to go through as much gas, yet they seem to be way overrepresented at my favorite gas stop.
In any case, i can’t hold that against Costco Gas Station in RB…
Yes!!!

This is a nice gas station but every time I have come the lines are extremely long. The reason for the long lines is probably because they have the best prices in the area.

I like this Costco gas station because it’s organized. There are two attendants directing traffic and assisting cars to get in the open lanes. It’s very efficient especially since all Costco gas stations are busy as hell.
I recommend coming here if you’re in the RB area. Lines move pretty fast.

As a gas station, this place is fine actually, but the rating seems low because of how it compares to other Costco Gas stations. You have to snake through the parking lot and it gets bottle necked up in some areas. Everything else still applies, cheap gas, no problems there for sure but like I said, the flow of big deluge of cars that you have to expect for cheap gas is a bit off. Won’t be a problem when it’s less busy though.

Best place to get cheap gas! If you end up going to Costco to buy some food and items definitely drop by their gas station. Costco Gas has the lowest price I have ever seen in SD. There are always lines but they have 6 – 8 pumps and also have the long nose pumps which makes it easier to put around if your gas is on the other side.
Its better to try to enter towards the inner more section as close to the fence as you could get since there are more options for which fuel pump you want to line up for. You just don’t see them as when you start to enter there’s several lines of cars blocking that view.
Of course this is for Costco members and the Costco cashcard if I am not wrong. There is always someone supervising the pumps if you have any problems.

The Costco gas station gives us our membership’s worth. We’re not big on wholesale shopping but being able to utilize Costco gas has saved us some coin. We do a lot of driving between LA and SD, and are constantly filling up. Costco gas prices are typically $ 0.20 cheaper than other gas chains. Arco is the only comparable one, but they charge a debit fee, plus, I haven’t seen an Arco in the area… I suppose it doesn’t matter because Costco is the closest gas station to our home.
This Costco gas station is smaller than others I’ve seen. Each lane has two pumps but the wait time is manageable. I tend to visit earlier in the day on weekdays and I’ve only ever had to wait 10 minutes. Maybe 15. I’ve never gone on a Saturday afternoon, but I can only imagine the zoo it would be. Their long pump hoses allow you to stretch the nozzle to either side of you car, a huge plus. I love having Costco gas so close to home!

Gas is gas so when you can get it cheap, why not?! The quality is decent and my car requires premium…

What can I say other than cheapest gas around. I always go early mornings to avoid lines but always .20/.40 cheaper per gallon and I’m digging it.
