It just does, in all my vehicles it seems and Shell is always higher in price so it's a no brainer not to use.
Makes sense about Costco's. Local refineries by me is Chevron and Tosco (used to be 76 refinery years ago) so Tosco probably the stuff they use, idk.
Do they blend with ethanol? Some companies use a 10% ethanol blend which will bring your mileage down slightly. In Oregon, Chevron doesn't but most of the other brands do, so I get slightly lower gas mileage on the other brands, so I only use Chevron.

Ya every station in houston puts 10% ethanol. and i don't get it, i mean the refineries are here. and there is no place here where we can find anything above 93. yet every single premium is 93. its 87, 89, 93 the standard in houston.

Is Tosco a branded gas? I thought they were just a bulk refiner. But it's been a while since I heard about them.

During the gas shortages in CA, Costco was running nice shiny 2 tanker trucks in almost everyday. Unmarked trucks. But most of them has OK license plates, for what ever that is worth.
