but people line up to do it. Now, if you were going to Costco anyway, then yeah.

This is how Costco gets people to their store (one way) — the illusion that you're saving a lot on gas to make it worth it.

Thank goodness for Costco gas. .25 cents cheaper than anything else in my area

Wow. .25 cents? Probably burned more than that waiting in line. 😉

Imagine planning your weekly schedule around $3.50

Less than that, because according to OP you're saving less than 1 cent per gal

I imagine you meant 1 cent per mile?

I live in Provo, and it's 20 minutes to get to Costco to save $5

You can actually turn the car off while you wait. Thanks for ruining Earth.

Is it really worth the waiting to save 5 bucks?
