Costco doesn't get its gas at the cheapest market.
Their price is based on sheer volume, thus the healthy discount.
They negotiate with major refiners like Chevron Shell and Conoco here on the West Coast.
Before one makes the next comment, no there's no cheap "Costco" gas at the refineries, the trucks line up with the branded
trucks, they get the same stuff.
As a matter of fact, Costco sells so much fuel, their maintenance regarding filters is way beyond the mom and pop stations.
You'll never get the "sediment" bottom of the tank fuel, as its constantly being replenished, and filtered prior to pumping.

Like Costco branded Bourbon, its Jim Beam, and comes from the same vats used to bottle Jim Beam branded bottles.
