FAQs

How much is Costco gas in Livonia today? ›

A: Regular and ​p​remium ​gasoline, and ​d​iesel at select locations. Gasoline ​octane can vary by state, but at Costco, it's typically 87 octane for Regular and 91 octane for Premium Gasoline. Q: Where does Costco get its fuel? A: Costco buys fuel from major refineries and distributors in each area.

That's because Costco loyalists know there's no better place to buy gasoline than at the wholesale giant's pumps, which regularly undercut the competition. “You save approximately 20 cents a gallon at Costco over other local vendors,” says David Schwartz, who together with his wife Susan authored “The Joy of Costco”.

So why is it so much cheaper than the competition? The short answer is that unlike pretty much every other retail business that sells gasoline, Costco doesn't care about making money from its gas pumps. In fact, Costco typically sells its gas at a moderate loss.

While both Costco and Sam's Club offer unleaded, premium, and diesel fuels (here's how to know which you should be getting), only Costco offers Top Tier fuel. If you don't have a Costco membership, you can still find Top Tier gas at other stations. “Yes, Top Tier gas is worth the extra money,” CarFax reported.

Costco is listed as a TOP TIER™ gasoline retailer. Find out more at www.toptiergas.com. Kirkland Signature™ Gasoline contains five times the EPA detergent requirement in both regular unleaded and premium grades, and is formulated to clean your engine and help your vehicle run like new.

Is Costco fuel cheaper? ›

Drivers filling up at Costco will generally save more than £6.50 a tank compared to a supermarket. RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: “Drivers who aren't fortunate enough to be members of Costco will no doubt be horrified to see just how cheaply fuel can be sold.

Pricing is another key part of Costco strategy to encourage customers to increase their interactions with the brand. Costco prices products at 14-15% markup above costs. This gives it an average profit margin of just 2%, and positions the brand firmly within the wholesale market.

Costco uses a dual-impact restricted markup pricing approach on product sales to offer significantly lower prices than the competition. The dual impact is from relatively smaller markups on relatively lower prices paid directly to manufacturers for buying in bulk.
