Hi Harvey. Interesting observation. I had no idea trucks could fuel at Costco.
I took a little trip today and fueled my SUV at Costco which I later learned opened last November. Their gasoline prices were the lowest I've seen in California, quite a bit lower than another discount place yesterday. I imagine the diesel was also a bargain. Perhaps trying to get more customers to this relatively new store? Anyways, this is the first time I've ever seen a truck at a Costco getting fuel. The fuel lines were shorter than I have ever seen at a Costco as well so the truck didn't hold others up. Anybody here ever seen this before?
Probably took him a while! Truck pumps pump significantly faster than diesel pumps designed for autos.
I've delivered to more coscos then I've ever wanted. Being anywhere near the gas pumps is an accident in the making. They get very crowded during the day with lots of impatient car drivers.
This Costco was an anomaly, it had fuel discounted more than I have ever seen but had very few customers at the fuel pumps. Weird. Costco is a well-run company but I wonder if they incorrectly analyzed the market when deciding to build this store. I lived in an adjoining city 40 years ago and this particular area was not considered to be a nice back then and I didn't see any strong evidence it had changed much.
