Costco Gas

Workers are always friendly. They go as fast as they can go. You can not beat the prices they have.

As a loyal costco member, i always gas up at this loclicat. I maximize my cost co experience by putting gas, later going grocery shopping and sometime even getting lunch at the costco cafeteria within the store. Today, i was on the line of carswaiting to gas up, no signs indicated that the gas pumps were ALL out of service. However, i did notice 2 costco workers approaching the cars as you make the turn to get in to actual line for gas. To my surprize, pumps were out of order. Time is money, costco please in the future put up a sign or a written card board to let your customers know whats going on. I still went into the store for my food shopping but i was not happy.

I always like to get my gas here cause you don’t need to use your Costco card for dirt cheap but good gas. I always fill it up
And the tank lasts a week. From other reviewers, they say the gas has a 5 epa rating. From my experience the gas always lasts longer. But beware, go early in the day like 7 or 8 am so you don’t Wait in long lines. Also they only take American Express or debit… Which can be a pain since you have to get out of your car to enter a pin. Anyways good luck and enjoy the ride.

First of all – if you’re from out of state, welcome to only one of two remaining states in the country that has state-​wide full-​service gas stations! (Oregon is the other state that doesn’t let drivers pump their own gas, but depending on legislative action this year that may change/​have changed.)
Overview: The fuel prices at this location are consistently among the lowest in Central Jersey, which make it a popular destination for Costco members, Costco shoppers, and everyone else who has no affiliation with Costco whatsoever – since NJ gas stations cannot refuse service based on club membership. The icing on the cake is that the bargain-​priced Kirkland Signature™ Gasoline is also branded TOP TIER™ – having five times the EPA detergent requirement in both regular unleaded and premium grades.
Location: The area around the gas station can be accessed via either of the two entrances on Vineyard Road or the entrance by the Walmart on Rt. 27, whereas the dedicated gas station itself has only one entrance and one exit. Dotted white lines on the blacktop mark the six to eight lanes of pumps, which have extendable hoses that are long enough to fuel tanks on either driver or passenger side.
Payment: Cash is not accepted for obvious reasons. Acceptable forms of payment at the pump currently include only American Express (may change due to Costco’s credit card changing from AmEx to Citi Visa in April 2016) and debit card.
Unfortunately, this last payment option is a major factor of the long wait times because:
(1) Debit cards have Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) that need to be entered manually.
(2) Debit cardholders have to get out of the driver’s seat and have the attendant swipe an access card before being able to enter debit PIN.
(3) Debit cards lock up after 3 — 4 failed attempts.
If you must pay by debit, do yourself a favor and know your PIN before your turn or have another form of payment ready; otherwise, you’re inconveniencing yourself and the drivers of the 5 – 7 cars behind you.
Service: Service is generally slower compared to smaller gas stations, possibly due to understaffing. A single attendant is responsible for anywhere from 4 to 8 pumps. Attendants can sometimes be seen servicing customers out of sequence instead of first-​come, first-​serve. Needless to say, don’t ever come here to fuel up if you’re in a rush; budget at least 10 — 15 extra minutes into your commute or shopping trip.
High turnover/​attrition no doubt contributes to the varying levels of efficiency – and dare I say, professionalism – of the employees. Inhaling gas fumes all day in unforgiving temperatures would be demanding for anyone, but the amount of time wasted on idle chitchat and juvenile horseplay (with both customers and other employees alike) that could be better spent on pumping gas adds to the already staggering wait times.

I’ve gotten gas here bi-​weekly for 4 years, I can’t say enough other than it rocks. The wait’s much less outside the obvious times. The staff are reliably kind.

Alright I bumped up my rating on costco gas. How could I not when there is a difference of 40 cents per gallon to my regular gas station. I can put up with the singing and joking which is now at a minimum because they are so busy.

Pros: Cheap gas, don’t need a costco Membership, long hoses that can reach over your car.
Cons: Lines are almost always super long. About 20 minute endeavor sometimes. If you make a lot of money it might not be worth the time to save 2 – 4 bucks. I am a poor grad student however, so its worth the wait.
