Neither Costco nor BJ's prices as low as others in this area. So, no incentive to go there vs Sunoco or Hess where prices are better. Also, not sure Costco has 93 octane (BJ's does).

I still prefer Chevron if I can find it. 76 Stations are disappearing... Rather disappointing as they are one of the few places that sold 100 octane unleaded at the pump at some stations. |

Costco does not own any refining assets. They buy from the major refiners in norcal/west coast: Chevron, Valero, Tesoro, Conoco/Phillips, Shell.
The differentiating factor in gasoline is the amount/quality of detergents added. Top Tier gas association is a voluntary association that has agreed to a standard of detergent additives. Quote:

I use purely Shells but it's somewhat not on the way so I also use Sunoco. Used nothing else but Shells and Sunoco for the past 6-7 years.

I use Sunoco 93 octane. Doesn't seem like many people use Sunoco? I always just assumed it was good because its sponsored by NASCAR hahah

Sunoco is getting out of the refining business. They recently sold the Marcus Hook (Phila.) plant to the Carlisle Group. I believe they retained a 1/3 interest in the refinery. |

I believe gas is gas.
Here in Atlanta I use Costco Kirkland Signature Premium. Zero problems. In fact zero problems with the other four previous BMWs we've had. On the road I tend to use Shell 93, or Chevron. I look for busy stations (fresh gas) and high fuel fill rates (clean filters).
