What is the quality of Costco gasoline?
Posted by admin
Will asked:
Is it consider top tier quality? My new car doesn’t seem to run as well on Costco 91 octane gas as it does on Shell or Mobil 91 octane gasoline. Who supplies Costco with the fuel?

Gas is gas, octane is octane. While some major oil companies do create “special” additives, they are so dilute as to be insignificant. Costco gets its gas (like all other independent retailers) from major companies and/or independent producers that sell it to them either under contract or at the terminal where it is shipped to…Also your car’s computer will adjust itself to whatever the octane (within reason) that you put in your tank…..you could probably use 89 octane without harm…That is what I have used in my Lexus for the last 10 years……
