i dunno if anyone mentioned this b4 or not, but a place for good cheap gas is Costco. premium for $1.62 vs $2.00+ elsewhere! (in Kali) that's 19%+ and $7.03+ in savings...WOW! (if u're filling an empty tank) what a blessing since our maximas loves to chug expensive premium. only one drawback, though....longer lines! maybe 15 minutes at most.

side note: can i change my username?

 

contact Jambo and ask him if he change it....

 

I thought Costco only sold regular and plus... not premium
at least in Irvine

 

nice to hear..next time i'll go to costco i'll check it out

 

I've got a couple questions.

How is the quality of costco gas compared to texaco/chevron/shell/etc.?

Do you need a costco membership?

 

that's cheaper than I can get 87 for my Accord V6 over here on the east coast. I wonder if there's any Costco places out here - UMD_MaxSE ???

BTW, I changed my username

 

yes, you do need a membership to costco.

 

I know there's a Costco in the Edison/So. Plainfield area of NJ. But you need a membership and that alone will eat your savings in gas.

 

Yeah were getting a Costco here in San Antonio but i think ill just stick to Exxon premium (93) $1.25 a gallon

 

u lucky texans! wishing Bush won Kali last year! heh

 

Doesn't Costco have that unocal additive that you arent' supposed to have in the Maxima?

 

costco gas must be good. i'm also a member of SoCalSS, the '94-'96 Impala SS org of Southern Kali. yea, the Impala SS is my other favorite car. the prez goes there and endorses it. Impala SS's LT1 engine is a fine machine, just like the Maxima, and I haven't heard anything bad about the gas.

 

They only sell regular (87) and premium (92)...no plus. Personally I stick to Chevron 92 but the Costco prices do make me drool since I do have membership. Maybe just once every 3 fillups or something.

 

I think there are a few costcos in MD....I really haven't looked though. Sorry

Nice username by the way.... it's catchy....

 

well here in so cali, some of the costco gasolines are only like one or two cents cheaper than the leading brand names, so i will stay with those, don't know how good costco gas really is in the long run.

 

thanks for the info.
Only problem is that there's usually a line 8 cars long waiting for gas.

 

Yup...ain't that the truth. You gotta weigh in the opportunity cost involved in waiting for so long IMO.

 

Since we're all on the topic of gas, when I go up to Maine for the weekends Mobil which is the most expensive gas here in Conn. anyway, fill up of 89 octane gas with FULL service is a 1.34, thats cheap IMO, then I come back to Conn. where I see $1.92 lol

 

That's cheap!

 

My dad was telling me about the gas savings....
There are 2 Costco's that I know of, in NYC. 1 in Staten Island just off Richmond and 1 in Brooklyn somewhere in Sunset park.... near the BQE.
Right now, I paid 1.91$ for premium at Mobil, I've seen as cheap as 1.89$. I can't believe these prices in other states.. To fill up a full tank I need 30$+ ... I'm buying an Insight.

 

hell yah bizatch 70+ mpg!

 

Wouldn't mind one of those myself these days.

<~ My wallet

 

I have a costco card and I pay $1.62 for I think 92 octane. For this octane usually it costs over $2.00 for gas at other gas stations. So 92 is okay for our cars right?

 

maxima........insight........maxima.........insigh t........lol

 

R U Kidding? $1.25???? OMG I pay $1.65 and thats the cheapest I can find (name brand gas).

 

ok u changed ur username, so now your at a Lurker?? i think you might want to contact jambo about ur status..

 

I agree with Boy Wonton. Don't let all those deep meaningful posts go to waste.

 

On Tuesday of this week, I got Chevron Premium gas (Self Serve) for $1.39(9) a gallon. Now its back to $1.55(9).

 

Yup $1.25 but rumor is down here that well be paying close to 2 dollars by the end of summer dont know if its true or not....i hope not

 

Before summer started I saw a gas place in New Haven, CT $2.05, but now its about $1.80-1.95ish
