How to find Costco gas prices? ›

Q: Where does Costco get its fuel? A: Costco buys fuel from major refineries and distributors in each area. All Kirkland Signature™ Fuel is guaranteed, just like the merchandise we sell inside the warehouse.

Regardless though, AAA estimates that most Americans will fill up their tank anywhere between 45 and 55 times a year on average. So, yes, we can VERIFY that it is worth getting a wholesale membership to save on gas prices.

Use the AAA Gas Price Finder to find gas stations and the cheapest gas in the area near you. Simply type in your city, state, and ZIP code to find the most up-to-date fuel prices in your area. Taking a road trip soon? Use the AAA Gas Cost Calculator to plan out your fuel cost.

You must be logged in to Costco.com and have a valid Costco Membership number saved in your online account to view pricing and/or purchase Member Only Items. When viewing product details, you will be prompted to login to your account to display pricing and enable the Add to Cart button.

Gas stations can get busy (avoid weekends)

Avoid weekend fill-ups if you can. Buying gas on a weekend could be a nightmare, as waiting times could take hours. To avoid this, the best time to get gas at Costco is on weekdays between 10-11 in the morning.

It's good for your car

The fact that gas is cheaper at Costco doesn't mean it's lower in quality. The company offers Kirkland Signature gasoline, which is formulated to improve vehicle performance and fuel economy. Costco says the gas also reduces emissions, making it better for the environment.

Note that Costco only has two grades of gas: 87 and 93. There is one exception to the membership rule: Customers paying with a Costco Shop Card do not need a membership to purchase fuel.

Costco is listed as a TOP TIER™ gasoline retailer. Find out more at www.toptiergas.com. Kirkland Signature™ Gasoline contains five times the EPA detergent requirement in both regular unleaded and premium grades, and is formulated to clean your engine and help your vehicle run like new.

An executive membership at Costco costs $120 per year, which is twice as much as a basic membership. The primary benefit of the executive membership is scoring 2% back on Costco purchases. Certain purchases don't qualify for cash back, including gas, stamps, and vehicles.

Which is better, Sam's Club or Costco? ›

Costco has more stores across the globe, is expanding rapidly, and generally offers cheaper prices than Sam's Club does, although the latter charges slightly less for membership, has a bigger presence in the U.S., and stocks more name brands.
