Costco Gasoline

Longer wait, but definitely cheapest gas in the area. The trick is to come right before they close. Ain’t no wait during that time.

4.5 Stars for providing gasoline. Period.
[And it’s Top Tier™. Yayyy… \(^0^)/]
3 Stars for your lost time and productivity.

…but hey, not everyone is a GasBuddy™ User nor does everyone like non-​Top Tier™ gas cheap and/​or otherwise…
It’s a crapshoot how horribly backed up it’ll be to get gas unless you go right before they close or when they just open.
Best bet is to bring a Costco™ Buddy and split up shopping/​food court and gas duties…

Fairly easy to find things although sometimes some organics are tucked away elsewhere than where you’d typically expect. Staff is helpful. I’d anytime prefer this one over the one on Lawrence Expwy.

12 total gas pumps at this location. 11:30 am on a Monday, about 4 cars ahead of me for each line. 3 — 4 minute wait for each pair of cars. 11÷09÷15, 87 gas at $ 2.43. A lot of complaints regarding long lines. Well yes, the gas is cheap, everyone wants in.

Very long lines. Cheap gas.
The cost pretty much outweighs the experience to be honest which is why I’m rating it a 3 because of the prices. Other than Safeway gas, this is the cheapest place to get your gas in the San Jose area (to my knowledge).
Be careful of bad drivers. I don’t understand why some people would stop at an intersection because there’s a stop sign to get into Costco and people would just go in line and block traffic…

Some of the cheapest gas around! There is usually a line so if you are in a hurry you might want to go elsewhere. You will have to scan your costco card when you go to pump your gas so be sure to have it handy.

The gas price is always cheaper than other gas stations. I don’t know about the quality of gas though…

Too bad for all of you who do not have a Costco card! Gas prices are killer! I paid $ 2.76 for regular gas! Who see’s anything less than $ 3 these days!
Definitely worth the wait to get a good price on gas!

There are long lines, lines I’ve never seen before moving to California.
This location is a bit crowded, especially with the gas station having their cones out on the street.
Is it worth waiting 20 mins for cheap gas? Depends. I definitely do like dropping by while getting groceries at Costco, but ugh the line!
The hours have expanded which makes it just a tiny bit more convenient but they need more pumps :(

Lines are always reasonable on weekdays and the gas prices are always quite reasonable!

Let’s make this review short and sweet. Opens early and closes at hours proportionate to the day of the week. The only setback is that there’s always a really long line. Don’t expect to show-​up and pump. More like show-​up and wait about 8 minutes for your turn to get some guzzle.
TIPS:
–Only accepts Costco AMEX or your Debit Card. No cash or credit.
–Show up early or come later to avoid long lines.
–Don’t forget your Costco Membership card since you’ll need it to get gas.
–Always the lowest price around.
–They only carry Super Unleaded (91) and Regular Unleaded (87), no middle grade (89) available for purchase.

Some of the best tasting and most affordable go-​go-​go juice (ie: gasoline) and the best prices too. Great hours and convenient location. Who could ask for more?

I can only give this Costco gas station 3 stars. The reason is that they do not have enough pumps… Whereas most Costcos have 10+ pumps, this one languishes in the stone ages with just the minimal number. On top of that the gas reservoir in the ground is too small and they always need a tanker to refill the gas. When that often happens, the tanker takes up 2 pumps!
So in short, there is ALWAYS a long line for gas here because:
1) Not enough pumps
2) Always needs a tanker to refill
PROS:
— Cheap cheap gas
— Top Tier gas (more than the EPA required additives)
— Squeegee to clean your windows (I think this is unique to this Costco)
CONS:
— Ridiculously long line for gas
— Not enough gas pumps
— Always a tanker refilling gas (taking up 2 pumps)
In conclusion only come here for gas if its your last resort.

Costco gas is pretty standard. I like to go when it first opens on Sunday morning. The line for gas is really short. This is also my favorite time to shop in the warehouse. We were in and out (INCLUDING GAS) in less than 40 minutes. Note: we also sat down to eat a slice of pizza & relax afterwards (also included in this 40 minute time span)

This place is cool because they have exceptional hours of operation, unlike their warehouse hours. The only wish I had with this place is that they currently don’t accept cash nor visa & MasterCard.
They do take debit and amex.

This is your standard Costco Gasoline setup.
The lines always seem to be ridiculously long here all the time, but they move relatively fast. At 7 or 8 cars deep you can usually get to the pump within 10 to 15 minutes.

Cheapest gas typically in the Santa Clara area, tends to be packed more often than not, to the point that you can’t even pull I to the gas area and it blocks the area to get to actual Costco, so it just builds more and more traffic and people stop halfway I to the main artery to get into this lot

Cheap gas.
One does need to be a Costco member to use the gas station though. If you have a Costco AmEx, it’s an easy one swipe, push a couple buttons, & voila, you pump your gas. If you charge to the Costco AmEx, you get a 3% rebate, which is not that big of a deal for me because I don’t shop at Costco that frequently.
There is an entrance to Costco off Brokaw Rd. or if going southeast on Coleman Ave., there’s a driveway there also.
Pumps extend long enough so that you can use either side, but I still prefer pulling up with the appropriate side, but will sometimes go with the shorter line, even if it’s on the opposite side from my gas tank.
There’s usually a wait (3 – 4 cars because I don’t go insanely early in the morning.)
The driveway feeds into the lines so that it hasn’t been a mess (at least the lines haven’t been long enough for that to happen when I’ve been), unlike the one at Milpitas (but then I was going there at a less optimal time, right after work).
I have noticed that there is an area in the parking lane next to the employee kiosk where you can park & clean off your windshield. I haven’t seen that at any other Costco gas location I’ve frequented (just San Leandro,& Milpitas)
Hours are: 5.30−21.30 Monday-​Friday, 5.30−7 Saturday & Sunday.
It does close a bit on the early side on weekends.
So far, I like the San Leandro Costco gas station layout the best… easiest to get in & out of.
Located on southwest side of Coleman bet Brokaw & De La Cruz.

$ 3.93/Gallon on Regular gas, wh-​what??? Can’t beat that with a bat. You can get with this, or you can get with that. You can get with this, or you can get with that. You can get with this, or you can get with that. I think I’ll get with this, for this is where the cheap gas is at.
I use to remember getting upset for paying $ 0.99/Gallon, but now I’m happy when it’s below $ 4. Man, if any of you remember paying for gas that low, then you are old like me.
This Costco gasoline station is always clean when I come to fill up. There is only one way to get in and one way to come out. This alleviates any disputes between customers fighting to get to that pump like other gas stations. You feel me??? It always has the cheapest gas prices around my area.
A few reasons why I don’t give this place 5 stars is because:
1) They are only open to Costco customers.
2) They are not open that late.
3) They don’t accept cash. (but understand that it is for the safety of the customers)
4) Always a long line.

Well we all know Costco has gas at lower prices then most of their competitors. Lines are generally very long if you go during certain hours. Before people go to work, during lunch, and after work when people are on the way home, and pretty much the whole weekend.
Be prepared to wait, do something productive while you wait like get out your membership card and debit card so youre not digging for it and holding up the line when you get to the pump. Its busy 90% of the time so be considerate and pump n go. And please decide which pump/​line to commit to when you pull in so youre not zigzagging like a maniac and throwing everyone else off.
There is someone always there to help out if you encounter a problem at the pump. I generally go during off hours and make my trek to costco for grocerys.
3 stars
