Agreed. I don't understand it, but I take full advantage of it.

why people are so against pumping gas on the opposite side at Costco?

90% of the time I am on the other side. Hoses are plenty long.

I'll never pump on the other side. I've got 3 minutes.

Because it's literally against the law. Have you even read the Constitution?

The Costco stalls are tight enough that someone pumping on the wrong side can

It’s not THAT tight of a space. Are people really that bad of drivers?

Just yesterday a dude in a truck couldn't wait and pumped from the wrong side.

It's not the "wrong side." They're specifically designed to be used on both sides. Many have signs saying so.

so if you get clipped by a car trying to drive past you, you won't complain?

Well, I drive a sedan, so I will just assume they’re a bad driver.

The locations I go to all have enough room for people to get through.

Why do people waste their time driving to Costco for gas?

It's a block away from the next nearest station but has prices 30-40 cents cheaper.

Yeah if it's close it makes total sense, around here in NV it's usually $0.50 cheaper than average so save $10 on 20 gal

Of course, but the question is why people drive miles past four other gas

If you can save two bucks by spending an extra 15 minutes, you take that every

I rarely wait in line, the gas is cheaper and I get 4% cash back. And I am at

Most people already drive to Costco plenty so gas is not out of the way

If you're scratching your car that's a you problem. It's not which pump you're using.

I love it. I never have to wait either. I just stretch it over the bed of my truck.

Taking an alternate path that Maverik set up for you is blazing your own path?

More gas stations should have the hose long enough to pump on the other side

That's one of the reasons I'm glad I drive a Subaru is that the gas tank fills

Doesn’t make up for the other reason though

I pulled into a Maverick the other day on the wrong side

Yeah they have clear signage indicating "pump from both sides". Baffles me.

You're in the way of people going down the center to an open pump.

Costco disagrees.

Easy solution: Buy a car with the gas cap on the right side.
